Hi, I'm a new member...looking for new beginnings and new friends.
I'm a married recent college grad from MS.
To let you know a bit about me, here are the issues for which I joined the group:
I have always struggled with social anxiety disorder. I had a rough childhood, but right after high school, I began to be more at ease and make friends. It has worsened again over the past few years, though, due to stress from my mother's death (a long battle with M.S.A...at the end she could neither speak nor move and was fed through a feeding tube inserted into her stomach, though her mind was intact) and an abusive relationship. My husband was physically abusive and forced me to withdraw from all of my friends, whom I had fought through s.a.d. to make. Two weeks after his worst violent episode, I found out that I was pregnant with his child. We are still together. He is no longer violent, but I have lost all of my old friends.
I haven't begun my career due to a D.U.I./suspended licence (of which I am really embarassed..
I feel alone..but I am trying to make changes.
For one, I'm trying to "act confident" and portray an image that is welcoming to people. I'm quitting drinking...next comes smoking. I'm trying to find humor in daily life wherever I can. I'm working extra hours to chip away at debt and focusing only on my child in those precious hours in which I am with him.
I would love input from you guys...suggestions for depression/s.
:)
