I have only been here for a week or so reaching out because I need help and friends but what happens if I start to feel anxiety here on the site? I can't seem to achieve any success making friends or being social in real life, everything just turns out all wrong and I'm feeling really lonely so I reach out here and I still can't break the cycle, even with support! This is supposed to be a place to feel safe but my symptoms are following me here. Any help?

Hey dude, it's me. I certainly understand where you are coming from. This place is here to help. After talking with you last night, you certainly have a friend in me! I'll help as best I can so, hit me up anytime. I use all the IM clients so contact me in PM to let me know which one you use. I'll put you in my contacts. You can talk anytime to me...Well, I am getting ready to go out for the day though. I just got my UI check and have to buy some much needed supplies...(you know, beer and smokes...LOL!) but I should be back this evening sometime. Keep your chin up. I'm sure you will make other friends here.

Hello

I can understand how you're feeling. I feel that way almost all of the time, myself. I'm pretty sure that the reason is because my self-esteem is kind of non-existant. Therefore, I am dependent upon others to make me feel okay with myself. While I am able recognize that no one but me can fulfill my need, I'm kinda hard-wired & have to fight hard to change that tendency .

I'd imagine that many of us share those feelings. You aren't alone.
