One knows I have MDD and has only treated me a bit better, another I've talked about other personal issues but he never got invested in them. I don't really have friends they're more acquaintances than anything. Being a nervous man is awful, it is really non masculine and I feel conscious about it. I took flak for being sort of cowardly before I got GAD.

My parents are too old fashioned and can't truly wrap their heads around it.

edit:I have taken meds, done some therapy and I'm an atheist. Also forgot to mention I've purged many people I knew wouldn't miss me if I disappeared.

@hillelslovak: I have friends in real life but they don't seem to care about me personally. Some don't even make an effort to reconnect if I simply stop messaging them.

@plageus900: That's great that you found someone to aid you, but dating for me is out of the question. There are days where I am in no condition to leave the house.

I am a dude afflicted with generalized anxiety and major depressive disorders, and talking to someone about these topics can make you a big misfit on top of already being one for playing games heavily. Having someone to help you cope might make a difference, but finding that person can be difficult when mental health is so stigmatized. Thus I'm looking for people that not only share my interests in stuff considered nerdy, but also has anxiety and/or depression.

I'm pretty open minded and I'm a great listener. We will be talking more than gaming (if we even do that, I don't always have the motivation). Tell me about yourself here or via private message if you are interested.
