I am really anti social, and i do not do anything all day, except school and school work, and i have a lot of time to spare, everyday i make myself goals
such as learn to play guitar, buy the guitar, go to gym and work out gain some weight, meet some girl. So i sit through the whole day either reading, or watching TV, and when its time to go to sleep, all these goals that i have set for my self are coming up, i just cant go to sleep I get a burst of energy and the need to do those things, like i kind of get a panic attack that i am running out of time, i am already 19 years old, and nothing has changed since i was 15 except i got older, I just feel like breaking things or screaming at the top of my lungs, because another day i have wasted, time is precious, but when i do fall asleep in the morning i waste another day just like i did before and its not until i have to go to sleep i realize that and same thing happens over again. WHAT can i do, I really need to accomplish some goals or i am going to go insane, but i have problems socializing, or going outside.

wow...

ok so don't be freaked out, but your post that I replied to got me interested. you sound a lot like how I used to feel.
And I want you to know that you are not alone.. you are not weird.

And it's pretty crazy to me because I feel the EXACT SAME WAY about wanting to do all these things at night, then the day comes and I just sorta forget about them.. then at night, I realize I didn't do anything that I wanted to accomplish.. i've always been this way and never known anyone like me. Seriously, it's crazy because I set all these goals.. like I used to have trouble with my weight. So I have all these goals about what I'm going to eat the next day. I even write down everything.. and then I set a goal about exercising, and reading or learning something, or doing something productive. But I wake up in the morning or early afternoon hahah.. and I have no energy or desire. It's a daily thing so I can deff relate.
Don't give up!
If you need to talk, send me a message.. I am not in school and haven't found a job, so I don't have much to do. hahaha... don't be shy. =) It might help to talk to someone who has felt like you.

I'm not a psychologist, that's for sure, or I wouldn't be in here hehe. Sounds to me tho you might have schizoid tendancies, or even be schizoid (don't like ppl, don't wanna be around anyone, don't need anyone but yourself) and maybe some form of OCD, could be something else, again I am not a psychologist, which may bring on panic like symptoms. Do you ever have fully blown panic attacks, where you feel you are going insane, heart won't slow down, can't breath, feel like you're going to die, dizzy, weak, sweating...those are the main ones. Do you constantly feel anxious?

I think you need to talk to someone, here is a great place to start, and people like prettyjolie would be someone who's awesome to talk to because of the very similar ... symptoms, for lack of a better word. If you live at home, talk to your parents about seeing a T, if not, find a T, and find out what you really need to work on. What I've found after 17 years of on again off again therapy, is a lot of Ts only work on the symptoms, and don't try to find the root casue of your problem. You find a good T who digs, and finds the root of your problem, and go through therapy and if needed drugs, and things will get better a lot faster.

You're not a lone, we all have something up...I've been dealing with Panic Disorder and a multitude of fears for over 17 years now...it's not an easy road but I do and can live a fairly "normal" life.

sounds like you are willing and open to suggestions. what has worked for me is i make a small doable list in the morning. it may be just take a short walk in the neighborhood. spend time playing on the guitar, like 20 minutes.
if you start with small goals you can slowly add more involved ones. just take it slow and in time you will see improvement. it may be that you are making a list of goals too large to begin with. you can tailor your goals to meet small successes. success breeds success. keep us posted on how you're doing, k? if my suggestions help, great!!! they've certainly helped me with the same problem.

I do this too. And then I can't fall asleep, when I do I wake up early in a panic thinking about all the things I didn't do. Could just be depression. You want to do things but you're tired or lack motivation. and then there's the social anxiety. with a t you can work through these things.
