Hi guys, I'm bob. Love this new site/forum, think it's a great idea. I watched the BBC3 program Diaries of a Broken Mind and was relieved to see I wasn't the only one. In fact, a lot of you have a much harder time than I do. I've been suffering Anxiety for about a year now and the doctors diagnosed me with Agoraphobia, but it's not as clean cut as that - I can go places, but they have to be within my "comfort zone" and at the right times (no traffic!). I have good days and bad as we all do. Currently seeing a counsellor and some minor meds but was really interesting to see you all in the same boat. As for help - I'm a tech kinda guy, so can help with developing solutions for new ideas. Also fairly good with Logic and audio editing so happy to help with audio editing for vlogs/podcasts or whatever you need. Not bad at some graphic design, but home taught and not a pro at that. Also I have experience running groups as admin etc online, so happy to be an admin or moderator etc too. Anyway, nice to meet you all. Oh and these are my two buddies who keep me company:

Thanks Little black one is called Mohammed, big grey one is Dylan. I'm not sure if they keep me sane or keep my crazy. Bit of both.

Yeah the big ones ok. He's very clever, knows his name, knows commands...oddly seems to understand when I talk to him. Sadly he's got cancer (sorry for the downer!!) and the little ones an idiot, but both willy happily just sit on me all day and cuddle if they had their way.

haha Tiger loves causing trouble too much to spend all day cuddling its mainly on a morning,sometimes a night (particularly if I am awake late) and he will sometimes pop into my room randomly when I am reading or on my laptop...if I ignore him he eats my book/laptop or walks across my laptop, oh and he hates it on a morning when I check my FB etc on my phone usually makes me drop my phone by trying to stand on it lol. Gizmo loves attention but doesn't really like cuddles he just likes being stroked and Simba hates everyone but my mam most days lol
