I am a new member as you might have gathered by my posting in the new memeber intro's. I have come to this site and joined as I have trouble leaving my flat, I was recently diagnosed with an anxiety disoreder, I suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and I am scared of being outside so I don't have very many friends and find it hard to find people of my own age with similar interests and/or beliefs, as I don't meet many new people. So my husband(we got married last saturday) suggested I sign up to a christian forum and this is the one I chose. I very rarely leave our home due to this ailment and if I do I have to be heavily medicated to calm me enough to step out the front door but even then I need my husband there to hold my hand and be with me so that i feel a little safer. I do still however attend church on a sunday and attend church functions but even then I still need to take the medication and I feel that I cannot be as spiritually attentive in church because of the side affects the medication has on me (they make me drowsy and quite dosile).
So here I am to meet and talk to new people and so that I can still have that contact with other christians without being so afraid or spaced out with medication.
I find that I dont get on with very many people my own age because of my way of thinking and my choice of lifestyle. Many people of my age, or the one's I have encountered, see christianity as "uncool" to put it in lamens terms (I dont want to stereotype anyone so I apologise if anyone of my age reads this and is insulted by my remark). Thats why it was a blessing when i met my husband, Craig, he is also a very devout christian and has been my rock in recent times but he is older than me he is 24 and I am 18.
I also think I don't get along with them because I see myself as being wise beyond my years, as I don't enjoy hanging about or drinking myself into a stuper, I prefer to sit and be lost in deep meaningful conversation or quietly read a book, I also like role playing games and art, and i am a huge fan of literature and I am a writer myself.
But enough for now I feel I might have droned on a little there, you can probably tell I don't get out much lol.
Well that was me saying hello and introducing myself.
