Re: What are you eating right now? (2)

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)

Re: Have you ever been to a SAUK meet?
I used to go to a lot back in the day and met some very cool peeps.
I probably wouldn't go to any now but I think they're a great way to meet people who understand anxiety and to make friends.

Re: Do you use TikTok?
No. Initially because I thought it was stupid, something for children and something I just didn't understand.
But now it's because I'm worried I'd like it and I have enough of that useless stuff...

Re: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) + ADHD
I only heard of this after getting diagnosed with ADHD but it does seem to sum up my experiences better than social anxiety disorder does.
As strange as it sounds, although I do feel anxious about...

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)
