...See more I discovered 7 cups about 3 hours ago via google by searching for depression and anxiety support websites. This looks like the best one I've seen.

...See more Hello I'm new to this website/support forums in general. I suffer from a range of anxiety issues but mainly in the form of social. I cannot speak in public, private, on the phone through e-mail or live chats and forums I am only just beginning to scratch the surface of. I find the whole concept incredibly terrifying, I come from a town where admitting any kind of mental health issue is seen as a weakness and is something to be ridiculed and I have been brought up in an environment (outside of my family) where there is so much stigma related around mental health that nobody will talk about it. So to come onto a website full of people I don't know and talk about these Issues I feel extremely exposed and uncomfortable but at this point I feel it necessary to talk to someone somewhere about this. Does anyone else here get that crippling anxiety in where it takes you say, 8 hours to reply to an e-mail/facebook message because you can't bring yourself to press send? If so, have you found anyway of making these kind of interactions easier on yourself? I completely understand that everyone experiences anxiety and social situations in different ways, but I'm interested in atleast opening up a dialogue about this stuff.
