HI, all!

My name is Nicole, I'm 20, and I've been painfully shy almost all of my life- my parents say I was a very outgoing young child, but something happened to me- an incidence within my family- and i've been shy since, although it is much better now than when I was younger.  Now my mother is dying, I've dropped out of college, I've gained weight (after a long period of anorexia), and I just seem to be avoiding people more and more.  I guess maybe I just wanted someone to talk to who can identify with this....Anyway, if a kindred spirit exists, feel free to email me or say hi :).

sincerely, nicole-
