Hello everyone. I used to frequent another forum here at HW, but that was quite some time ago. I came back looking for a place to vent/chat/connect.

A little background: I have a long history of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Social situations make me very uncomfortable most of the time. I don't have (or try to make) friends, although I'm at the point that I'd like to try. I do have a boyfriend, but I feel like my issues are putting a strain on the relationship. The arguments are always started by me, and driven by insecurities. I guess that's really what drove me to come back here.

I'm not really sure what to say at this time, but I wanted to introduce myself and hopefully be able to give and receive some much needed support.
