31/M/Netherlands: looking for more caring friends with anxiety/health/ibs

Age 30-39

Hello! I'm a 31 year old guy from the Netherlands. In 2015, I lost a lot of my life to anxiety with many physical symptoms. The worst symptom was having to go to the bathroom when I get anxious, with the result of unable to go to many places.

At this point I have improved a lot, but the mental and physical symptoms never fully went away. I work, travel and live life with a lot of hidden extra steps I wish I could share with people more. Currently I am also home with a burn out so it's especially intense right now.

As a result, I crave deeper friendships. I want to share the most happy days, but also be able to talk in the darkest moments. Of course that goes both ways. Tmi does not exists for me. Judgement does not exist either. And just so you don't get the wrong impression: I'm in a stable relationship. Care is for friends too.

My hobbies are in technology, psychology, food, and learning about many things. I think almost anything can be interesting when looking at something closely enough. Let's share life in this level of detail.

I am looking for people somewhat close to my location and age! If you struggle with similar issues, please reach out to me as well. You are not alone!
