I've been reading these forums for a little while (mainly out of extra anxiety about what is going on with the disability benefit changes currently). It seems like a supportive community with many intelligent opinions I respect.

My name is Rachel (my username is my cats nickname)🐈 I am 36 and have had mental health illness ( mainly depression and anxiety with periods of agoraphobia and panic disorder) for the last 20 years.

I just wanted to introduce myself and to say hi for making this place feel like somewhere you can post for the first time even if you have social anxiety.

    Lovely to meet you @HollisMcBobbery and welcome from me too. 😊

    I can empathise as I suffer badly with social anxiety and I know there's several of us here. So if you need support with anything, just shout and we'll all do our best to support you. 😁
