I don't know what to do, my social phobia makes me very scared to get a job and to study and im not good enough for anything else. Sometimes i feel like its easier not to be around anymore.
Everyday i wake up very nervous about something, and i don't see whats good about this life anymore.

Hey @Baboo and @Alessandra1992
Yes it was very scary meeting new people and overwhelming. I was able to sit through the whole meeting and got my story out to the group. Hoping to make it next week and to continue on with the group.

Hi,
So I did not get notified of this post I think.
I am sporty and like exercise but my left knee has damage to it.
I hope the original poster @Slybaby still has hope in this thread and sorry if you felt ignored in this thread. 🙂
