Hi everyone,

I'm totally new to anything like this but I've been struggling with severe depression and social anxiety for a few years now. I'm having a few rough days at the minute and I feel I can't talk to the people in my life as they don't understand my illness. I also have vasovagal syncope which causes me to faint from certain triggers.. I find myself panicking to leave the house lately in case one of the episodes should occur and I'm alone.

I'm struggling to face leaving the house and go to work. Activities that would have normally never bothered me. I feel very alone and unsure where to turn, hence myself finding this site.
