Hello Pemo

Hi. I go by Pemo. I'm 28, maybe a bit older than most people here, I dunno. I've got severe social anxiety and long-term depression (dysthymia). I've taken a lot of medications and seen a lot of counselors, without much success. I've had social anxiety for a pretty long time, though I feel like I've gotten pretty good at hiding it from people. I'd much rather be visible, though, so that social anxiety becomes less of a thing to be ashamed of, and more familiar to the culture at large. Give it more exposure, you know. I don't really feel like I can do it in person, but on the internet things are a bit easier. My AIM is "pemoaim", and if anyone wants to chat or get some advice I can try to help (although for my well being I don't talk about suicidal thoughts or self-harm).

Like I'm guessing a lot of people here I have a tumblr, it's http://littlepemo.tumblr.com/. I post about social anxiety on the (you guessed it) social anxiety tag.
