Is social anxiety the same thing as hating being around people? Especially a lot of people? Or is that just anti-social?

Wow, EvilWillowRocker. You're story makes me feel very idiotic posting about my life when yours seems so much bigger. :/ I have never thought of any self-harm but suicide, for I find it very difficult to bear pain and the slitting of wrists/burning of arms/whatever method would just worsen my depression. And I already know that I will make it through my life, and that once I finish the homophobic, already-difficult-because-of-a-lot-of-things school, I will be okay. I haven't killed myself yet because I don't want to miss everything that I want to do, such as falling in love with a cute, but sensitive and helpful guy and living on my own, learning not HOW to depend on someone but WHO to depend on.

Or is that just anti-social? www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/mental-health-social-anxiety-disorderEWR, I have a lot of respect for you for putting your story on here. And you're right, if you hadn't have told us, probably none of us would have had a clue. It's amazing what you have been through that you've been able to overcome. I hope you have a good support system where you are (not all of us do) and even if you don't, you are a respected member of this forum and I'm sure you would get support here if you need.

i know how it feels to be depressed i used to never leave the house self harm. I was never diagnosed with depression but have been diagnosed with many other mental health disorders that im not gonna bore people with but iv been on medication for 6 years and i have to say its the best thing that i could have done. Dont get me wrong iv been in and out of hospital for the past 6 years. But thanks to my medication and great network of friends and family iv been stable for a year and a half but what really helped me was keeping busy and having a routine. I want to say anyone who goes through a hard time with depression or anything that was hard just remember you got through it and that your stronger now =) thats all i wanted to say x x
