Does this forum help or does it only make you feel more hopeless?

It helps just to have people who understand you.

This forum rarely helps me, infact it makes me worse off.

But I am here to share my mental and psychological experiences with people to perhaps make them feel better.

I'm one of the really bad/serious cases on this forum and no one can really argue against that. The worse I have it, the more I can learn and the more I can perhaps help others.

So yeah, it's a sacrifice..even though I do struggle to understand and relate every time I read 90% of the posts here.

I sometimes do feel worse after being here. Sometimes I feel a little bit more like things just might turn out very badly for me because of what I have.

Still, it is a nice place to come because it is a place to come to to talk about some things that I couldn't really talk to anyone else about.

I don't really like any forum, because my opinions are continually derided in any forum I post in.

Hiya Taws

I am in my 30s and I can understand how you might find it upsetting to think there are people older than you still struggling. I have read posts by people in their 50s and thought 'oh-my-god...will I have this forever?'
But I don't think age is the issue. It proves that social phobia can affect anyone....and also that it doesn't just 'go away' by itself very often.
But the fact is I have never researched it before...understood it before or met other people who suffer with it before. So my age is irrelevant. What is more important I think is how long you have actively been trying to improve things for yourself.
You are lucky in that you have an understanding of social phobia while you are so young. It gives you more time to work out what you want from life and how to get it.
