Umm...hello.

So I stumbled upon this site today and registered myself in hopes to at least no longer feel like that I am alone. This site seems like it is quite active and supportive that I figured that I should give it a shot.

I have always been shy and unconfident ever since I were a little girl. Only to learn in later years that I have been dealing with anxiety/depression for quite some time. This mental illness is a definite challenge. I have a hard time going into public places, family gatherings, meeting new people, keeping friends. I enjoy art, video games, reading, music and movies to escape from reality. I am a pet owner of a cat, rabbit and a couple of piranha. I love them all. :inlove:

So yeah...this is a little bit about myself. I suck at intros so please forgive me, lol. :thinking:

Hello Illexistence, and welcome.

We have a whole thread devoted to pet pics if you'd like to show us:

Awesome, you sound like a good person

The community here is really supportive, so don't hesitate to offer your views, opinions, or concerns. Even people who have 'conquered' their issues come back to offer advice or insight, so you'll be able to learn a lot from them as well...

Besides... winter's come early this year, so you might as well wrap yourself up in a nice, comfy blanket, and hunker in nice and close to the monitor while browsing the posts. At least the content will keep you off the bone-numbing temperatures... for a time.

^.^

Hi welcome it sounds like you have a lot of awesome pets!

Welcome illexistence. You are not alone.

Do your best to stay positive, believe in yourself and know that you are stronger than your disorders. You CAN overcome...it is not easy but you can do it.
