I have a terrible fear of getting lost too sopho , places like hospitals are the worst, I got lost in a hospital once , I dont know how but I ended up in a part of the hospital designated for staff I had overwhelming panic and I actually belived I would die down there and that someone would find my skeleton , of course I know those thoughts were ( that word doesnt look spelt right) completly irrational but phobias aren't rational .
BTW i pmd you

move to Northern Ireland (that's the prodestant half right)
and not everyone in Ireland is Catholic

We're moving to somewhere in the Rep. of Ireland because that's where my step-dad's from. They won't all be religious, butit will be more religious than Manchester. There are a lot of gay people in Manchester, the university I'm at has the highest amount of gay students than any other university in the country (I read that on some website lol) and we have a lot of gay clubs etc round here. I don't go to clubs though, but I mean there's a much stronger chance of me not being single for the rest of my life if I'm here than somewhere else.

Is it a residential university?

I live at home and get dropped off / picked up every day because I can't get public transport on my own/ So I don't live in halls.

That is just it, don't give up.

This is your thread, not mine, so I am not going to discribe exactly what I "went through" from 13-23, but it truely was a decade of "hell". At times I don't know how I got through it all and it seemed like just when I thought I could not cope with it all, I was thrown an even bigger problem. In the end though, for some reason at 23, it stopped. I think I suffer from complex post traumatic stress from it all, but after 10 years, things actually DID get better.

I am glad you are getting councelling, and that it is helping. I was in a very similar situation that way myself as I have mentioned. It will get better if you work towards it. Just keep trying to feel the positive vibes we are sending, send yourself some positive thoughts, and keep making those babysteps towards getting over your social phobia!

Haha looks like there'd be one vote then. I guaruntee there'd be no more though. Unless someone voted just to prove me wrong. But that doesn't count. :)

And I will try and improve my social phobia. It's hard but I'm getting there in some ways. Slowly.

Soph, sorry you are having such a rough time :(

I wish there was something any of us could do to make you feel better. I hear you on the anxiety-most of my neighbors don't even know what I look like, they just know someone lives there because there is a car parked outside, and you're not alone in getting lost either, I still have to bring a map with me if I've gone somewhere a million times! Just to make sure, lol.
