Hi, new here …

I’m feeling empty. I’m searching for something new & different. I have social anxiety and writing out my feelings is hard for me. I hope this is a safe place to help me open up about my feelings.

HI Chloe. Welcome to our forum. There are lots of supportive members here.

Just share what you feel safe sharing.

We're all here because we understand what anxiety and depression are intimately.

Hi and welcome! Yes, this is a safe place to share. Just one thing: when you create a post it gives you the option of sharing it with everyone or just this community. The default option is to everyone (meaning the whole internet). You'll want the 2nd option, which will put a "lock" icon next to your title (this will show others that your post is being shared with this community only).Again, welcome!

Thank you, that is helpful to know!

I’m new too but so far everyone has been very supportive. I hope being here helps you.

People on here understand the struggle intimately and the vast majority are incredibly supportive. Writing things out can be very therapeutic, it gets it out, let's your mind let go of it, and, w the support from the others, you know that you're not alone. There's really no subject that's too taboo to be talked about, as someone or multiple someones have experience w most things. Welcome and thanks for having the courage to make the initial post.... You are brave!!

Hello and welcome to the group here, it takes courage to do it and you did so try to be proud of yourself. I suffered with social anxiety for years and you can learn how to deal with it and get on with your life.
