Hello everyone! I have been suffering from anxiety for years, as well as other mental health problems. I have been looking for a place to just chat with others who could offer insight and share experiences. Sometimes it is just good to get another person's perspective on things. The root of my depression is social anxiety, I just feel so out of place all the time. It also causes me to exaggerate just to 'fit in', and it makes me feel worse. I don't know why I go into this default mode under stress, but hopefully I can get over this soon.
Recently I took steps to stop smoking, and it has been going well. I just didn't realize how much of a crutch it had become, or how much I used smoking just to get through stressful situations. However, I have felt my anxiety spike over the past few days, and being around people is becoming difficult.
Looking forward to speaking to you all!
