Hello
I have always been a shy quiet (anxious) person, even as a child. IN high school I started struggling with depression although I did not understand what it was at the time. As I got older I hoped things would change but I dont know what else to do.
Had a family dinner last night and I became painfully aware of how silent I am. With family, friends, strangers, I just don't have anything to say, apart from "hello". I feel disconnected from the world, unsure of how I am meant to live. Its depressing seeing people around me living their lives, having a job/career, getting married, having kids etc. I dont feel like there is a place in this world for a person like me.
I guess the point of writing this is to see if there is someone who can give me some sort of hope, see if anyone has overcome something like this. I don't know. I feel strange.
