Social Anxiety Support

I really can't stop bingeing - I feel really sick and uncomfortable, and I keep throwing up but I just wash my mouth and go at it again. I've never had it so bad, and I've gained 4.2kg in the past 5days. I feel disgusting, like I should just end my life and put a stop to this. Help me

SAGoAway · 11-02-2010, 10:09 AM

Well I was stressing real bad about this assignment I thought had to be handed in tomorrow! Only to find out that it doesn't have to be in until next week when i'd been working on it all day!

Now i'm worried about what to have to eat because I don't want to get any thinner than I already am!!

Atlas · 11-02-2010, 10:12 AM

-Being a part time worker, not being able to have any foresight in what it is I want to do by next year.
-Still stuck at home because of fear of failure and whats mentioned above.
-not being able to find work that suits me.
-Being underqualified despite my age.
-Being currently in a loveless relationship (the sex is even **** but I ain't going into detail)
-Feeling hopeless and like I have no purpose in life other than to be the example of what not to be by age 28.

I feel gross and lazy. It's almost noon and I'm still in bed. Blahhhhhh.

SilentlySuffering · 11-02-2010, 10:26 AM

A ton of things are bothering me right now. So it's going to be long.

The fact that my mom gets tired of hearing me complain about how this anxiety doesn't seem to be going away. I even tell her, I've been looking for ways to overcome it and it's like she doesn't want to hear what I say about it anymore.

Almost everyone in my family are extremely religious, and every time I tell them about my problems they only say "pray". I've been doing it but it doesn't seem to help. No one in my whole entire family understands what SA is. They think I'm shy, and just going through a phase.

I wish I stayed in college no matter how bad I was suffering there. I did the coward thing by dropping out and now it's constantly on my mind about what I should have done.

Just not being able to see how my future's going to be is slowing killing me inside. I want to know if things are going to be much brighter for me. It's hard because everyone around me is moving on with their lives and they seem so much happier than me. Especially everyone in my family. I hear that many of them went to college, graduated and going to be getting great jobs. I'm here never had a single job, couldn't make it through college, and the only social thing I do is travel with parents when we get the chance.

I feel so hopeless, and even though I see that others may have it much worse I start feeling down all over again. I want to be able to move on with my life, be happy, be positive and not worry about what others think of me.

I wish I forced myself in the past to be involved with people more. I often blame myself for not challenging myself more. I know it's not too late to do that, but whenever I am out and about I get so insecure and paranoid that I just can't bring myself to even get applications to apply for a job.

I'm pretty busy with a stupid essay. Plus I miss someone.

becca · 11-02-2010, 11:33 AM

Disoriented by my mother's death, frustrated by sedentary months, curiously apprehensive with the idea of Western love, yet magnetically pulled and highly influenced by the mystery of it. Doubting strengths, ignoring weaknesses, living each day questioning the circular positions of ideas, beliefs that I've held on to for quite a long while and braving the choice to abandon it. This moment has been a sort of "Taking each day as it comes". Progressively shedding past convictions. Obsessively holding onto the proverbial verbials to simply Live.

lazy calm · 11-02-2010, 12:10 PM

tomorrow's my birthday and i can't do anything about it.
i would quite like to die.

cold fission cure · 11-02-2010, 12:49 PM

There's a blood blister at the end of my finger. After the pain subsided I thought about who should be held responsible for it, and I pointed my blood blister finger squarely at my dad. What kind of father lets his son get to adult without educating him about hammers? Mine. What kind of father doesn't teach his son about the finesse of getting your fingers out of danger while the hammer comes down? Mine. What kind of father doesn't call to ask if I've had any injuries? Mine. Blood blister - more like dad blister

Amocholes · 11-02-2010, 01:06 PM

My Dad did all that and I still hit my finger occasionally!

noyadefleur · 11-02-2010, 01:07 PM

I don't want to go back into my depressing school ever again, but I know I have to do it again tomorrow.

Timeofallout · 11-02-2010, 02:57 PM

Sick with either a very bad head cold or the flu

thewall · 11-02-2010, 03:00 PM

My mom called today asking to borrow $50 because one of her cats supposedly has a urinary tract infection. I have no problem lending her the money to take the cat to the vet, but I'm hesitant to believe that the cat is actually sick. She's off of probation now, so she doesn't get drug tested anymore. I just don't want the money to go up her nose.

My dad was outside yelling for me to come out, I don't know why. I was in the bathroom so I obviously could not. He got mad and starting yelling super loud that I am a good for nothing loser so all the neighbors could hear.

How nice of you to remind me and others what a big loser I am. You've only been telling me ever since I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me.

TenYears · 11-02-2010, 06:16 PM

Not knowing what the future holds, tomorrow, a month, years from now, and everything in between.

Fear of the unknown. Anxiety has a deathgrip on me.

Antis · 11-02-2010, 06:21 PM

Procrastination. I've delayed starting my coursework for 2 weeks now, too many distracions. I have like 5 days to get the draft done but I'm still holding it off..... uncontrollable.
