Where can I go to meet new friends?

I'm 15 and I have social anxiety and depression, I don't go to school and I rarely leave the house because of my anxiety. Im so lonely because I have trouble introducing myself to new people. I was just wondering if anyone knew of somewhere I could go to maybe meet some new people that are like me?

You could maybe ring your local council and ask if there are any support groups designed for teenagers. Or maybe look online.

Church is also a option. 

Here where I live we have army,navy,airforce cadets! Perhaps that would be a nice idea. I'm thinking that kind of thing because the main focus of these is training and discipline and teamwork so it may help build your confidence,especially if you explain to your elders there how you struggle in social situations. They will do all they can to boost your confidence.

 

Perhaps give your local MIND a call and ask what is available, great of you and brave to take some steps.

 

Yep you can surely ring the local government and ask for an anxiety support group (that's for physical interaction). Otherwise, you can just find groups for anxiety in the social media like facebook and google plus. Just type "anxiety" in the group search and you'll find it.
