    • About Me

      As my name suggests, I'm from New York and suffer from anxiety. What support group do I join though for being extremely indecisive? I retyped this section 3 times so far lol. I believe my anxiety is pretty bad. For the longest time I think I've been in denial by trying to convince myself that I choose to be alone all the time. I rarely ever even join social groups online and actually participate. I must have dozens of profiles setup online but can't seem to understand how to normally adapt without anxiety taking over. I'm hoping this social network provides a different experience in that I can find a way to comfortably participate.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I'm here looking for a forum in which I can feel comfortable sharing my issues without feeling overwhelmed. I'd like to further understand anxiety and possibly find ways to better cope with it.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Generally depressed, I believe as a result of social anxiety. Looking for some direction.

    • Open Loneliness

      I'm here to hopefully meet nice people to talk with. I'm incredibly lonely due to social anxiety and hope to maybe gain a friend or two in a group where I feel more comfortable with interaction.

    • Open Stuttering

      I've had a stutter for almost as long as I can remember. It's molded me into being a very lonely and depressed person. It's barely noticeable now but it's still difficult for me to carry on a normal conversation without feeling extreme anxiety and fighting off the little triggers which still exist.

      Treatments

      Speech Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I went to speech therapy as a young kid and it didn't really help me. Being alone with a stopwatch is fine but when in a public scenario the anxiety overrode any training. Years later the concept of speaking slower does help me but not enough.
