newbie post from a dull guy

[MclarenSmith]

Hi all,

I'll keep my story brief, as it's quite dull, and you will have heard similar stories told better, before.

I am Yorkshire, though live in the south of Scotland, I have suffered with cronic depression on and off for the past ten years or so, along with a mild form of ocd, and a couple of odd phobias for good measure. These have affected my life in many ways, from socialising and making friends, to struggling to do a job and even using a telephone - as that is one of my phobias, which I tried to treat unsuccessfully with hypnotherapy last year. It has also affected my sleep to varing degrees and impeded his self esteem for many years. I have often felt I was playing catch up with where and how I feel I should be, like a three-wheeler chasing a F1 car. Thanks for reading, and I hope I can use my experiences to help others on here somehow.
