Hi I am Andy from south wales, I have suffered with depression & anxiety for about 23 years now, but for a big part of that I totally ignored it and pushed it away, now in the last few years it has come back to bite me rather hard, the last 2 years has and still is a complete nightmare.
Haven't been to Dr in over a year as I cant face going in there and sitting waiting with all those people, I like to be on my own, I get very anxious, nervous, scared with people, to the point that even when I do go out I am convinced that I am being followed & watched. I used to be a happy guy doing things for others and never worrying about myself, now I can barely cope with going out the door.
Have had loads of counselling, my counsellor has recently told me that he fears I may be self-destructing and to be fair he is helping all he can, I just cant make sense of anything anymore.
Anyway there is a hell of a lot more I could type but as this is an introduction topic I had better shut up and just say Hi to everyone.
Andy
