You've just got to hang in there mate, Iv had many days when iv wanted to storm out of counselling because i thought it was a huge waste of time. It happened just last week actually, my councellor knows how to push my buttons, but looking back i can say that im in a much better position then what i was 18 months ago. Talking about it really helps, i just wish i had done something about it much sooner instead of wasting so many years fighting the thoughts in my head.
Yeah, i hear that mate. I try not to dwell on the past and only look forward these days. I can see light at the end of the tunnel but still have a long way to go.
Hey Im from Brisbane also. And oddly enough Im 19 and go to UQ as well.
I didnt realise there were so many people with the same problem, let alone a place where we can all share our experience. The wonders of the internet!

Hey everyone from Brisvegas!
I'm from the North Side of Brissy. I'm new here and really to SA also. I'm 25 (male) but over the last 10 years or so I have always noticed being too self-conscious and just too concerned about what people think. I would sometimes avoid social contact but regret not having too many relationships. Anyways, so I have started to learn as much about this 'thing' as possible. It is something that holds me back from living to my full potential so I feel I need to attack it.
Is there a therapy group or something in Brisbane? Are there specialist psychologist in this area in Bris?

Im 24 f in brisbane, I have been reading your posts and often visiting this site... and I have had enough wasting my life away without any people in my life. I am on here hoping to make some friendships, meet some people to hang out with, have fun and share stories.
I have had depression and SAD for as long as I can remember - painfully shy and nervous and very depressed. It is making my life, career and future plans VERY difficult. Being so alone all the time is damaging.
I hope to hear back from some of you, meet, keep each other company and live this life the best possible way!!
