Hi allalone,

Welcome to the forums. I hope that participating here helps you to feel less alone.

What you do next is up to you. There is a thread in the Community Board where you can introduce yourself as a new member that is a useful place to start. You could read some of the threads that are already started and post a reply. You have started this thread in anxiety and you could post another reply here if you want to share or get some help. Because posts are moderated it can take some time to get a response.

I joined the forums a couple of years ago and have found it very helpful. I hope you do too.

cheers,

Grateful.

dear Allalone, you can continue with this thread or go back to 'All Posts' and where it says 'New Thread' you can start again if you like. Geoff.

Hi allalone,

You will find that there are three options on the forum screen. If you contribute to a thread then you can continue to follow it by choosing the My Posts tab. This way you can isolate posts that you have a particular interest in following. 

Because I have contributing here for awhile I tend to go first to the My Posts and check to see if there are new posts on those threads and then I go to the New Posts and check to see what new threads there are since I last logged on. If I wanted to start a new thread I will go and have a look at the All Posts and see where I think it will fit. 

When you first posted here you wrote that you were feeling a bit lost and used. I am wondering if you are feeling any better now or if you would like to talk about that some more?

Grateful.

The doctor said I have social anxiety I won.t go out if I don't need to. Can.t stand beening around too many people. I feel alone and used as I have always been there for people but they have not really been there for me. I think I am over doing for others but I still do the dumb thing and keep helping. Going to the doctor tomorrow so we can plan what we will do. This is so hard thinking what to say as I am not used to talking about things ljke this.

I am getting the hang of what to do on here byt my phone stats to play up and have to go. Me being me is hard to open up and talk as this is so new to me. But hope the doctors will work out a plan that will help. They put me down as social anxiety plus I suffer with osteoarthritis and can't take the meds for it so the being in pain is not helping me but have to live with it.

Hi allalone,

How did you go with the doctor today?
