Brief Background -
I'm in my mid 20s. Started to feel down when I was 17. This got much worse when I went to University, where my social phobia was so bad that I ended up dropping out. Because of social experiences around the age of 21, not only was my mood now low but I developed a cycle of uncontrollable negative thinking. Started to get better control of things about two years ago, and for the first time felt fairly calm around a year ago. I think this was partially achieved through not socialising at all, which in hindsight might not have been the best thing to do.
Anyway, things rapidly went down hill again around November of last year. Think I was tired from working, some people had issues with me at work, and amother life event. THese put me into what was probably a severe depressive phase. COuldn't sleep, lost lots of weight, severe paranoia of everyone, oversensitivity, negative thinking overkill, mass worry etc.
Think I came out of this into a more mild to moderate state a month and a half ago, and started taking Kira a week ago. I think this has definitely helped. Although I still feel low, anxious, scared of social situations, and think negatively, (I don't know how to describe it) it is a softer experience. It is not as intense and I feel more in control and manageble. Because of the greater calmness and balance I also think I am easier to be around - not as irritable and snappy. So I feel 'slightly' better when with people. My work colleagues can still go to hell - but that is a different thing altogether:).
Anyway, thanks for letting me write something, and I hope this continues to work.

Hi there,
How's it going? Is the SJW still helping you? I hope so. I used to suffer from severe lack of self-confidence, and SJW has helped me a lot. Would be good to hear an update of how you're getting on.
Cici
