Welcome New Members

Hi,

I am feeling a little anxious with everything going on in the world. I was subscribed here many years ago, and I am fairly regular to being socially isolated, but felt like this might be a good time to at least hear how others are feeling. Somehow it will be reassuring to me that I am not alone.
I have PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and Panic Disorder.

Have a great day.

I am feeling fine. I am shocked when I go to the store, it is like I have stepped into Bernie's World of Socialism, but am safe once I remove myself from the insanity.

Hello everyone. I'm Voidcandy. I'm new here. Hope you are all doing well.

Welcome back WeepingWillow !

It's always nice to see one of our Mod family back on the forums . We're looking forward to getting to know you too .

Hi, greetings from ( North)-Germany .
I´m 50 and retired carpenter.
My hobbies are: playing music: Metal, Reggea, Classical,...

When I was 15 or so I discovered forums. This was when I got my first laptop. I browsed alone in my room. Up until then...I'd used the internet on the family computer since I was 12 but not a lot. Newgrounds, rotten, that sort of thing.

When I was 18, I discovered my first social anxiety forum. It wasn't this one, but it was a revolution in my life. And it became an activity I would put in 5-10 a day on easily. Maybe I'd only comment once or twice a day but I would lurk.

And here I am..in my thirties...I don't know how active these places still are. This one seems to be used more by Europe and the UK. Why am I here? Posting comment #893233532351632 on one of the may sites I've been to?

I just want to tell someone. I have AvPD. I'm a really homely looking woman. I never really felt socially acceptable.

I wish I never tried therapy. Or meds. I wish I just ran away from home when I was 18 although I would feel sorry for my family. We're estranged now. If I knew that eventually one day I would become a complete recluse (aside from work) and no one would care how educated I was, or if I could look at people's faces, or if I could be a pleasant person to be around there are so many things I would do different.
