Hello! I'm new here

Hey there.
My names Tasha, but I don't mind Tasha or Maple. My main reason for signing up is I'm hoping it will be a good way for me to get myself back and hopefully meet some new and interesting people along the way.

What I mean by getting myself back is I'm at a point where my anxiety is out of control and taking over every aspect of my life. Even tiny and small things are getting over the top. I'm quite good at suppressing showing it to other people, but in the last few months I've started being affected physically with it too. My muscle spasms are back, my childhood stammer and lisp keeps making unwanted intrusions. As a teenager, I suffered with very bad stress and hormonal eczema, and it has made a comeback with a vengeance in recent months. I feel like I'm just handling it at this point and it's just chipping away at me getting worse.
I have a hard time speaking to the people I'm close to IRL. Not that I don't trust them or anything, but there's a lot I want to protect them from or I feel guilty for saying anything to them because they have their own problems.
Anyway, I've went on a bit more than I meant to there.
So anyone wanna say hi? Maybe recommend some good sub-communities or tips for using this site?

Thanks and peace out X
