Hello hello

Hi everyone, i'm new here after being introduced to the site by another new member a few days ago.

I have no idea how to introduce myself without it all sounding like a cliche, so i guess i'll just get on with it.

I'm Wayne, male, single, straight and 37yrs old. I live alone with 2 cats, one of which is asleep on a combination of my lap and laptop. I was diagnosed with Asperger's earlier this year and i have spent several years housebound with depression and social anxiety. Recently i have been seeing a CBT who has been helping me get out and about a bit while trying to persuade me that not everyone is snidey, judgemental prick. I recently lost my Mother who was effectively my carer so along with the grief i have been suffering from intense loneliness, which in part prompted me to sign up here.

Bugger me that sounded a hell of a lot more self pitying than it did in my head.

Well i guess if anyone wants to know more you can just ask me.

*goes back to lurking*

Hi Wayne,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully you'll find plenty of people you can talk to here and thus feel less lonely. Not everyone is judgmental and I'm sure that the vast majority of people here are very unlikely to be.

Hope things improve for you soon, welcome!

Hello Wayne, and welcome aboard! I'm new here myself, but my impressions so far have been quite positive.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a close family member is a nightmare beyond the ability of my words to relay, and I also can relate with losing someone who has served as a buffer against the world. I hope with all the stress and grief you must be feeling will also eventually come new wonders and personal growth as you become accustomed to the new developments in your life.

Welcome to WP Swinehat. Hope you like it here.

Are you from the UK?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the kind words, it wasn't my intention at all to go on a grief trip but that's all that came to mind. Is everyone enjoying the festive season or are you hating the parties?

Yeh Tequila i'm from Shropshire in the UK, it's a very rural county but in the area i live we have the advantage of being in a cable area so high-speed internet is my lifeline, alas there's a cattle farm a couple of hundred metres from the house so in muck-spreading season it stinks. lol

I thought you might be. Never been to Shropshire though. I'm sure it's lovely.

Welkome to WP

Mick
