Anxiety (social and otherwise) is something I have dealt with my whole life. Even as a child I've been the worrying type, scared of everything and everyone. My affinity for the internet has been my escape, a way to soothe the negativity I felt all around me. And now I have this blog to share all my thoughts, random babblings, and obsessions with the blogosphere.
I would say about 90+ percent of my social interaction occurs online. I have about three instant messaging programs, a profile on myspace, an account on IMDB to talk about movies, various mmorpg accounts, and most recently my socialanxietyfriends account and blog here.
Suprisingly, I didn't think to look for a support group online for my mental illnesses. Someone had to mention SAF when I did finally get around to joining a myspace social anxiety group. I think the image from the myspace group is kind of appropriate (and I believe it is a design from an anti-depressant commercial.)
Like most things on the internet I did run into some undesirable websites and have had bad experiences here with people. Wherever you go there will always be those people who will hurt you if you give them that power or step on others due to their own issues.
