I found this forum by coincidence. It seems like the only one where membership makes sense anymore.
I'm another one of those without a single friend and if it weren't for the internet my social interaction would come down to sales people at the bakery and local stores. I work at home so all of my contacts are IM icons and pop-up windows.
It's never been different, I've been alone before I can even remember. My mom told me about how I always kept to myself, even before I started going to school and with time it just got worse and now all that's left are the icons.
I'm suffering from a toilet paper list of disorders, most of them never officially dignosed, but they're there. I just gave up on therapy in time to save whatever health I had left, that's why most of them aren't on paper. I have social phobia, chronic depression, pathologically low frustration threshold, compulsive disorders ... There's no point in even starting. I've been bullied at school and abused at home (daddio, alcohol, deceased) and the little physical contact I had with people was lost when I quit formal education and started doing what I do now.
That's in a nutshell, I guess, those of you that have been there know there's no point in talking about all this once you're finally out of the woods, but I thought I'll put it down anyway. I'm glad there's a forum like this, was always wondering about it but never really went as far as actually Googling some word combinations. I guess hope got lost will contact too. At least we have somewhere to let it out. I've been bashed on virtually every forum (especially domestic forums here) for just saying who I am and how I feel, so I hope this will be a safe haven, at least for a while.
I can see there are a lot of very friendly and open-minded people here, I'm very glad it's like that, I love what the admins have done with the site and I'm pretty sure everyone here finds at least some comfort in the fact that there's one place to turn to without fear or hesitation, in need or whenever. If anyone wants to talk about anything, drop me a line.
