About me

Introduction	I now realise I have been suffering with severe social anxiety for about a year and a half. I don't do much at the moment but I know I can't carry on avoiding life and feeding my anxiety. So as I try and integrate myself back into real life again, I want to do something positive. And what I have chosen is to write a blog. Anxiety is still a taboo subject, people don't understand it, they don't talk about it, and that is because there is a stigma around it in society, and in the media. It shouldn't be like this, people should be able to talk to one another, and empathise with eachother- yes ironic coming from someone with social anxiety but if social anxiety is to be overcome, society shouldn't be so anxious to talk about it. And even if I am the only one who reads this, at least it's out there.
