Thanks. 
That's my real name too, by the way. |

| Anyone feel sort of "stupid" that they have to have help? Any fear of what people think or acquaintances/peers knowing? I think I can understand why people would feel that way, but I've never experienced it myself. And I think that's probably because I've never actually received the help ... |

| Considering the title of the topic, I don't think you're posting this just to say bye. The thing about paracetamol overdose is that it probably won't kill you, but it will definitely do a lot of irriversable and very painful damage. The damage it does can kill you if you take enough, but it'll be ve... |

| I can't go there, though.. It takes a 15 minute ritual just to take out the trash, interrupted by any signs of life. Getting myself to another building over a mile away isn't possible. Not to mention the breakdown I'd face when confronted by clinic staff. When I said crippling anxiety I was being qu... |

I sent the email on Friday and got a reply today. They said they've forwarded the message to the doctor for her to decide what to do, but it isn't standard for them to carry out email consultations. This doesn't look promising.  |

At 28 I still can't grasp it, I find it way too distracting. I can't concentrate on what people are saying when they're moving around in strange ways or making weird faces. And gosh some people have some pretty ridiculous body language.  |

The option to edit your signature is a bit broken at the moment, while the site is going through some changes.
And hello. |

I'm mute too. I've never met another before. |

| That sounds about right. I don't know if I could get comfortable enough to talk. I can't imagine that I would.. I tried some anti-anxiety medication once, a long time ago. I can't remember which one, they were blue if that's any indication. I didn't actually take them very often because I tend to ju... |

| I'd like help with my anxiety, I'm not so bothered about being mute. But right now I'm mostly concerned about my symptoms of psychosis. I was treated for it a long time ago while I was stuck in a rehabilitation clinic, and it hasn't bothered me again until recently. My muteness is an anxiety issue. ... |

Some times I'll need them to leave before I can even get up and leave myself. Face to face communication has alwa... |
