Social Anxiety Support

tutliputli · 02-26-2010, 01:09 PM

My tummy is so swollen, I look pregnant. And I haven't spoken to my sister in ages, in spite of several efforts to get in touch with her. It feels like she doesn't care about talking to me anymore.

PeopleAreStrange · 02-26-2010, 01:40 PM

Friday night with nothing to do.

No plans tomorrow either. I could post a facebook status asking to make plans but I don't want to actually go out and do anything anyway. It's too uncomfortable, etc etc. Maybe I'll paint.. I don't know.

kirkulees · 02-26-2010, 02:00 PM

Work, I don't get people...

PeopleAreStrange · 02-26-2010, 02:11 PM

It's pissing me off. It's so hard to be an extrovert with social anxiety. I want to be the center of attention, I want to be the person constantly talking and commenting on everything but I ****ing can't. I need to get over this right now. I would do anything to wake up carefree tomorrow. I want to throw a 3-day long house-party goddammit. It's so unfair.

I had to go shopping today and my mom couldn't stay sober long enough to help me at all. I have enough anxiety in public as it is, it didn't help having her glassy-eyed and slurring. I keep trying to push myself to do it alone, but I get so upset I can't make it out the door.

Skype is buggy. Sometimes it shows people online who aren't and sometimes it doesn't show someone online when they are.

Wishing I could press rewind on the last ten years of my life...just erase it all and have a chance to do it right this time.

me too, or at least travel in time to make sure my young idiot self does a few things differently.

That old familiar empty feeling. I thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I guess not.

Miss Meggie · 02-26-2010, 04:25 PM

This probably sounds really shallow but it's bothering me, so I'll post it.
My roommate keeps telling people that she weighs 110 pounds and is a size 0.
I'm much smaller than her and I weigh 104 pounds and am a size 0/14 in girls.
She makes me feel fat because, if she weighs only a bit more than me, than I must look like that.
But I don't, so I know she's wrong.

origami potato · 02-26-2010, 04:38 PM

Well in that case I'm a whale! Thanks!

I won't say my size but let us just say it goes in the double digits.

Actually I can understand though, we're all tough on ourselves.

Right now I'm a little frustrated that my (future) mother-in-law thinks it's easy for me to break from my anxiety by just being with people. Yeah.. riiight.. eaaaasssy.

Kim Ung-yong · 02-26-2010, 05:23 PM

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and I cannot calm myself down! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

how does anyone get used to it?

caesarea · 02-26-2010, 05:28 PM

I'm in the double digits, too, origami. There's another thing that's bothering. Buying clothes is awful.

andy1984 · 02-26-2010, 05:51 PM

i don't know what to do

Hello22 · 02-26-2010, 05:59 PM

The empty feeling about life i get when i wake up. The fact that alot of people you think you can be friends with just have their own agendas

I absolutely hate going out shopping for clothes. I rarely can work up the courage to use a dressing room so half the time I have to go back and return items.

Groundskeeper · 02-26-2010, 07:30 PM

Everything. Physically I feel like crap...my back, knees, feet, wrists hamstrings, right shoulder/arm are all sore. It takes me a lot longer to recover from hard days at work now. I still haven't recovered from doing that roof last Friday. It doesn't help that we were up sealing the roof this week. I'm also really tired which is putting me in a foul mood. I'm getting a good 7-7.5 hours of sleep, but it doesn't feel like enough anymore. I feel like I aged a lot this week. It's a weird feeling. I just don't quite feel like me this week. At least the weekend and opportunities for napping are almost here.

2 chicks keep walking back and fourth in the hotel. Anxiety is quickly going up.
