I just only joined but the anxiety is creeping up inside of me as I have you could say lost contact with the inside and outside world.................I have isolated myself from society and just coming on here is a huge step. Its not that I do not have anything to do with society, I just avoid it as much as I can. I just thought coming here I could start making some friends and have a new beginning.

Well, welcome on here! Hope you can stay and look around and participate when you feel more comfortable doing that, etc. It is scary, interacting with others, whether online or for real. But it can be wonderful and helpful too (I think that's why we do it).

Welcome to PC! I hope that you will feel comfortable posting here. Just take things at your own pace; if you don't feel like posting for a few weeks, don't worry about it.

Thank you! Its important for me to keep coming back regularly but sometimes its really hard. Its taken me hours since that last post in come back, but I am glad I am back!

I need to fight the feelings I am having as I know belonging to a place like this can be very beneficial as I once use to along time ago, another board but it made happy inside belonging to somewhere like this. I just wish to find the inner person I once was and not fear myself,

You can do it! And hey, if you come and read and don't feel like posting... then don't post. Be a lurker that day. And then when you have something you want to say in a thread... well, you can find the thread and post in it later

I know exactly how you feel because when I first started isolating myself and lost all contact with friends I came on PC and was trying to join a community. PC was a big help even without having to really post. Just reading other people's posts and being able to relate to them helped me feel connected. Its ok if your not social or post alot because the PC community will welcome you with open arms regardless.
Thanks for this!
