BioGah, I have so much to say but I'm trying to keep it brief. Wish me luck.
Hi, this is my secret journal that I use exclusively for coping with my anxiety and depression. My hope is that discussing these issues will uncover revelations and aid in my recovery. Because my journal's private, I intend to be completely open. In fact, feel free to ask me anything, and don't be surprised when I answer honestly.
Two months ago I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. My issues with the former go all the way back to puberty. I know this might sound strange, but I'm afraid of looking at people. As a result, I have very poor social skills, I'm awkward, and I hardly have a social life. As for the depression, that diagnosis surprised me. You see, I think I'm often so detached from my emotions that I can easily be oblivious to them. I also have problems with confidence, self-esteem, and perfectionism.
All these things are holding me back. I feel I can't advance myself in life, and for 3-4 years they've shown up as bodily problems: I have poor digestion, a poor appetite, weight loss (I'm now underweight), and more (embarrassing!) things going on. Luckily, I've been seeing a psychologist, and I'm slowly progressing.
If you're going through anything similar, I'd like to friend you. I think we could benefit from each other. :)

- Name: Toby isn't my real name, but that's what you can call me.
- Age: 23 years old.
- Sex: Male.
- Location: Minnesota, USA.
- Occupation: I work part time at a big-box store, and that's about all I do. I'm embarrassed by how much free time I have and how little I do with it (but, on the other hand, I often don't feel well...).
- Education: I went to college for 2.5 years. I stopped for a mental break and to decide what I want to study, but it's been two years. Oops.
- Hobbies: Surfing the net, doing crosswords, building my vocabulary, and learning. I'm a nerd. :D
- Personality: I'm introverted, objective, organized, trustworthy, and curious for knowledge. Strange facts intrigue me. I enjoy learning why people think what they do. On another note, I hate social mores. I believe they're a nuisance that hinder people from being themselves.
