Hello everyone

[T.K.]

I’m new to this site. I’m 25 y/o with gad, depression, ocd, and haphephobia(the fear of being touched) you can imagine how wonderful and adventurous my life is... I hope you got the joke, my situation makes me feel hopeless. I can’t work because of it or have normal relationships(friendships or romantic) and I feel like I’m running out of time. I want to live life and follow my dreams but my mental illnesses really put brakes on all of my plans. I go to therapy(solo and group) I have a psychiatrist and medication, and that had really helped. I came on here to connect with people with the same experiences and hopefully learn and grow and feel better

Hello TK. Nice to meet you and a warm welcome to our forums. It sounds awful to not want to be touched yet want all the things that involve touching. I'm glad you are going to therapy and getting medication. I'm looking forward to chatting with you.

Thank you!! It’s not the easiest but I know that everyone on here is battling with something as well and I feel like I’m not so alone. I hope to continue to talk to people like you and others! Thank you again
