My name is Guy. Yes it's an actual name! I'm British and live, shockingly, in Britain. I'm 41. I'm not sure how much detail on my situation/past is appropriate so I'll go with something fairly minimal for now.
I live alone. I have no friends and no girlfriend. And when I say "no friends" I really do mean zero. I also currently work from home - for my father. My father and sister are basically the only people I have any contact with, unless you count saying "thanks" to the guy at the supermarket checkout.
I have some... problems? Depression (nowhere near as bad as it's been in the past) and anxiety (these days quite possibly the worst it's ever been).
How this came to be is a long story. I imagine most on here have one. It hasn't always been this way. I've never been very social but I've had a few long term relationships and if you go back far enough there was even a time when I had a handful of friends and a social life. But the last twelve months has been first time in my life that I've been almost completely alone, and to be honest I'm very lonely and more than a little terrified that I will be for the rest of my life.
So that's me. It actually feels quite good to be able to write that stuff somewhere that people will read it without running a mile.
