Its a good feeling to know that you are not alone in suffering from this thing. There is another good site, like this but with more people, which you might like to check out as well. It is;

unlike you, i wasn't shocked (maybe surprised) to know there are other people who have it. i can't imagine myself alone in this tough world with SA, it is a nightmare, isn't it?

It's a nightmare alright. But thinking about things.....we people never know what we have until its gone (as the classic old saying goes).

I often wonder how life would feel without SP. No doubt it would be a lot easier however, I wonder what other "problem/s" would take up the place of the SP problem? Would something which we consider to be insignificant now be a big problem for us if we weren't bothered by SP?

And what would our lives be like if we had no sight or we were paralysed? Would we swap the problems associated with suffering from either of those things with the problems we now have in suffering from SP?

Am I thinking too much? Rolling Eyes

Hey, I am new here.... I've known other people to have SA, especially after reading a little bit about it. I actually just found this site today from reading a book about SA! Still, I am pretty bad. I am 16, a girl, and will be 17 in a little over a month. It is nice to see other people my age with SA!

yes you are right in the part that SA is a nightmare

but at some moment after much patience and waiting for long years you will need a change

just any change in life whatever better change or worse change

so in my opinion I will often choose to have problems other than suffering from SA even if they are worse Smile

because I just got bored from the same feeling with lonely and anxiety for over 7 years now

the feeling when i first found out about SA and this site was like a child in the room and his father came in and gave a toy as a surprise.
