    G'day :slight_smile:

    My name is Tez and I am 20 years old, from Melbourne Australia. I've been lurking roughly since this place started up and thought I should start posting - seems like an alright community :thumbsup: . I'm currently not studying nor working due to suffering with Social Anxiety/Phobia and Depression for the last few years. I've recently taken steps to remedy the situation by talking to a therapist - it's been a bit of a rough trot lately but hopefully things will improve :bang: .

    That's a little info about me, will talk to you all soon, good times :thumbsup: .

    Hey Tez. Welcome to EC, from Jim in Toronto!

    We all have our hang ups! I'm glad to hear that you're working with a therapist. So am I! I think everyone should have a therapist! :grin:

    Hi! I've also suffered through depression and social anxiety. I still do to some extent. If you ever need to talk feel free to PM me.

    :thumbsup: I'm not sure, I think it is just the kind of person I am or will be as I age - standing by those that need help or support - and by others that do the same :slight_smile: .

    Well I really love the sentiment. I'm a public defender in Seattle, which is how I picked the title under my name. If I was going to re-name myself, it would be Defender (not anymore obviously! LOL), but I've Zeremonie for so long it's hard to undo that.

    The world needs more Defenders! I'm already very proud of you.
