I<SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">'m sorry that you find yourself with limited social connections and anxiety. </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">Unfortunately loneliness is very common in our society and here amongst members on the forum. G</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">ood on you for joining clubs and taking classes, it really is a smart way to meet like minded people with shared intetests. It takes time, so don't give up.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;"> Volunteer work is also a good way to meet new people. If you are in the workplace it's also possible that you may form a meaningful connection with a colleague.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">I'm wondering if you have any support in your battle with anxiety? There is lots of self-help type information on the bb website and talking with your GP can really help. With the right treatment, most people do recover.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">I hope you stick around and enjoy meeting people here.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">Kind thoughts to you</SPAN></P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Fri, 08 Mar 2019 21:46:27 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/introduce-myself/m-p/382522#M19459 Summer Rose 2019-03-08T21:46:27Z
