Support Worker, and student of psychology(which I've suspended for the the last year to due anxiety). Very sensitive to peoples actions , especially with regards to how they treat other people and animals.Vegan, minimalist (except books and music), hate shopping, hate groups of people.Like individuals. I have suffered with depression, anxiety, and IBS for as long as I can remember, and it stops me from enjoying life. I think too much, about everything and it drives me insane. I try to challenge myself but I just end up digging a deeper hole to live in.I live in a caravan, and enjoy walking on the beach or in the woods, which I don't do often enough because I struggle to be out in the world.

Have a nice weekend,,,remember to stop and smell the roses:)
I have suffered with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember.I don't know what enjoyment or happiness is. Life is such a struggle, and it shouldn't be like this. I have seeked help from various professionals, but I don't feel as if anyone can understand me, I don't understand myself. I find it difficult to be around people because I feel like a burden, but at times I feel that I need support.
I have suffered from anxiety as long as I can remember, and it stops me participating in many areas of life.I suffer from social anxiety, but also become anxious when alone with no particular reason.
I avoid being around more than 1 person at a time as much as possible, even friends. I have tryed to relax in group settings but I just end up feeling worse. I've felt like this for as long as I can remember.
Vegan for over 10 years. Not much interest in food but refuse to be part of the cruelty to animals trade
