https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hello-everyone/m-p/520256#M28956 Hi, I’m new to these forums but just wanted to say hello to everyone! I’m a current psychological science student who has previously suffered from debilitating social anxiety. I’m also originally from a rural Indigenous community. Just wanted to pop in and say I’m not necessarily here FOR help, but TO help. I want to use my experience and knowledge to chat with others and hopefully help a bit (but I am in no way a professional). I truely hope I can assist!

I am sorry to hear that you have suffered with social anxiety, I have no idea how hard that must be but it is great to see that you wrote "previously suffered", I would love to hear about how you managed in getting your healing journey started and also winning that battle, well done!</P> <P>There are so many threads here and I am sure that you will find that you can reach out and connect and help others on their way to wellness too.</P> <P>Sarah</P> Mon, 17 Aug 2020 06:10:00 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hello-everyone/m-p/520257#M28957 Aaronsis 2020-08-17T06:10:00Z
