Anxiety and depression are tough companions to bring into social situations, even online. I am glad you are here, Adam. I look forward to hearing whatever you feel comfortable sharing :)Hi,
I have been visiting the site for a couple of years now, and have finally found the courage to sign up. I struggle with socializing due to anxiety and depression, so posting this is quite intimidating (and has been rewritten about twelve times...).
Thank you for the approval, and hopefully I can contribute to what has become the first place I visit each morning.
Regards,
Adam.

Well, take it at your own pace, friend. We are all different. This IS a good space, and Era is better than most places, but you know what you need. Just know that if you need to reach out, someone will reach in.Thanks for the kind words, Speely. Reading the forum for the last couple of years has really helped me. It is nice knowing that there are people in the world you have similar views and interests. I already feel less isolated and alone, and I just wish I had joined sooner.

Well, you already participated in one! Welcome :)Hi! I've been lurking for some time, and finally decided to sign up. I'm more of a reader than a poster, but I'd like to participate in some topics.
