welcome everyone!
This community was created to support those who suffer from social anxiety disorder, depression and insecurity in a variety of forms. These are well-known disorders, but most people are not at all aware of how badly it can affect people, and those surrounding them. You needn't suffer from any of the above to join, but must be a supporter.
We'll also be working behind the scenes, hooking you up with more info that'll be helpful/useful to you or a friend....not to mention links to really cool stuff dealing with anxiety and depression (and the likes) to show you
1. that it's more common than you think
2. there are things you can do/say to help yourself when others get down on you and tell you to "just snap out of it!" 
3. and there are things you can do to protect yourself from digging yourself even further into that damn black hole! 
4. and bunches more cool and way funny stuff......people like us aren't supposed to have this much fun...but, i found a loop-hole.....
suffers social anxiety disorder and depression and is having ALOT of help for it. Please, if you feel that in some way you can help anybody with s.a.d or depression or feel that you may be suffering one of the above illnesses....PLEASE don't just ignore it, read up some information to check out symptons and info then please join, and get some help and support 
- ~wish-for-an-Angel
has been dealing with the following for the amount of years (diagnosed) listed by each affliction:
depression (major, half the time....like atm) since i was a child--i'm 38 now.
anxiety disorder__13 yrs. ...fluctuates with life situations
panic disorder__13 yrs. ...fluctuates with life situations, therapy, and meds
PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)__13 yrs...exasperated recently by evil abusive ex
OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder)__13yrs...is 75% better than at start
BPD (borderline personality disorder)__this year... (got some lernin' to do)
Chronic Pain: chronic migraines (genetic) and neck/back spasms (childhood trauma worsened by running track, dancing/bondage performance artist, and giving birth to 4 children....
suffers from both social anxiety and mild depression. But hasn't recieved any medical help for it, because she didn't want people knowing about it. It's stronger somedays than others, but talking to people online tends to help.
It's easier to talk to people who you don't have to come face to face with, and deal with 'personally' from day to day. So please, as ~wish-for-an-Angel said, if you think that you may be suffering from s.a.d or depression, then join, and be supported instead of (possibly) suffering in silence.

~Pour qu'à jamais nous allions de pair, nowhere~
I am your prize subject having been in therapy for most of my teenage and adult life.....I suffer from severe social, anxiety and post traumatic stress syndrome. I take 3 - 2mg of xanax every day! You would never know I am on them. Until they run out that is! I become very reclusive and withdrawn without them.
Please note me with any comments you may have on my subject. I am alittle embarrassed. I used to be a very social person, now I feel like an paranoid outcast.
your friend

"come! no night too dark - no road too long

stay! no pain too bad - no track too steep

hail! - my longing for eternity"
I have failed my son so miserably. Failed my whole family. But my son especially. He retreats from me. He is terrified of me. He surely despises me. He wants my acknowledgement but he won't take it when offered. He loves the cat. He put all the tenderness and love he couldn't get from me toward the cat. And now the cat is dying. I am too poor to afford the animal the care it needs. My own teeth are broken and rotting and I can't afford to see a dentist. And now it's $70+ just to take the cat to the vet. The cat has a huge tumor on its side. It appeared as if overnight. I knew the cat was aging but even so it seemed to be deteriorating rapidly. Now all is explained. I told my son the cat would likely need to be put down. That it was the most humane. But there is no hiding that I can't afford to treat it either. On principle I have never agreed with expensive medical care for pets. When I was young one of the many cats that hung around developed a tumor. We took her out and shot her. It was fast. That's is how it was. I have always belived that the stewardship of pets involved euthanasia. We have owned several cats. I am always the one left holding the bag. My wife goes on vacation and when she comes back the dying cat problem has been resolved and she gets to find herself a new cat. But this one's different. My son loves this cat. When I told him what I thought, he just whimpered a protest.
He is 17. He just whimpered. My principles seem lost here. Even the cost of the hot shot will wipe out two days work. My principles just seem lost. Meanwhile the cat is limping around with a huge lump. And they have all left. I am the only one here. They hate me and love the cat and they are all on vacation and the cat is in pain, and I am in anguish.
