I thought I had already posted but I don't see it so if this is redundant I apologize.
Hello.
My name is Joanna, I'm 21, I am married and have 2 children (sort of.) I am originally from Texas but recently moved to Connecticut for family/career/religious reasons. I have social anxiety as well as some Obsessive/Compulsive tendencies, MDD, AVP, and a host of other emotional issues but I won't air my dirty laundry just yet. I am here to hopefully get help or at least know that I am not alone in the daily struggles I face. I've dealt with SA and MDD my whole life and I hope that someday (soon?) to find answers and resolutions.
I struggle daily with guilt and regret, and my "issues" affect every area of my life from my relationship with my husband, my abilities as a mother/homemaker to the business I own/run with my husband doing photography/graphic design.
I need help, my life is falling apart, and my family is suffering. I am going to a "group therapy" that doesn't seem to be doing any good, but maybe I haven't given it the chance.
Well, anyway, there's my introduction. I'm an open book, honest to a fault, and generally up front about things. I don't see the point in sugar coating things...especially not here.
I look forward to meeting everyone and hopefully developing friendships with people who are struggling as well as those who have overcome things.
Thanks.
Joanna
