Basic info

Have a history going back to childhood of social anxiety, depression and toxic shame. Currently going through a mental health crisis. My social anxiety and toxic shame has caused me to isolate. And lately been having suicidal thoughts. Called the 988 crisis line and talked to a very compassionate person. So I'm reaching out to others who have some similar issues. Just started therapy at BetterHelp. I like him so far. I've only had one session but felt better afterward. I hope to make some friends here!
