I'm writing report cards today. I have been successful, but I am bored to tears. And have a lot of chores to do. And it's rainy and cold. And my boyfriend is not in town. Woe is me!

But the rainy, cold, and absent bf makes it easier to be productive.

I am supposed to. Be writing report cards today, too! However, I can't get motivated. I did chores instead.

I've now completed over half of the report card writing... and I did laundry, including the bedding.. made the bed. Brushed my cat, changed the kitty litter, took out garbage, did the dishes and vacuumed.

And it's still yucky outside.

Was on the way to Walmart with my mom but felt ugly and asked her to take me back home.

Another day. Still feels like the same day though.

I finally finished my report cards. Ended up sitting out in the backyard under a tree with my computer to finish them up. I was too distracted by everything needing to get done to focus on that task. How are your Report Cards going, Red Panda?

I finished mine on Sunday! I informed myself I was not allowed to have a shower until I was done. So I finished.

Today I braved it and went to sit in the ER to get some antibiotics. Pretty sure I had a UTI (I was right) but the thought of going in for one? Absolutely embarassing. I felt humiliated the whole time... but at least I have a med prescription now, and going to the pharmacist doesn't bother me as they already know that I take lamotrigine and sertraline and they can put the two and two together for bipolar. So antibiotics? Not a big deal for them.

I am feeling undeniably pathetic from a completely objective point of view, along with undertones of extreme shame but no guilt.

Understanding The Avoidant Personality | Caregivers, Family & Friends

After reading this article posted on the PsychCentral home page today, I realized the extent to which I am avoidant. In particular, the last two descriptions describe me perfectly. I know I am on the computer too much to avoid leaving my apartment. I use PsychCentral as an alternative to going out and meeting people. And, I know that I am very lonely but do not trust my social skills. People just don't seem to like me because I often don't speak up or say the wrong thing because I am too nervous and cannot think of anything right to say other than trite things. I also wished that I enjoyed the company of other people. It's further complicated by my bad experiences and c-PTSD which causes me not to trust people. I am at a loss of what to do.

Hello Unguy: I just thought I would say that I spend almost 100% of my alone time (I am married & my wife works) on the computer... allot of it here on PC. I can't say I've ever really enjoyed the company of other people. And so, at this point, I just prefer to be alone. However, if you want to get out & meet people, I'd suggest some kind of small group activity such as a support group or some type of volunteer activity. If I were going to try to get out more, this is the type of thing I would do. I'm not...

Didn't really help me, but I'm trying to read these everyday and see if maybe it will since therapy has been unsuccessful.

I thought about it so many times: a social group for people with the same problems as me, a group for hiking...I also was invited to participate in a group for improving English. The single idea of a group scared me like hell.

Also many online communication here, it's safer than went outside.

A big set of news that I've been accepted back into DBT with a new therapist after my previous one abandoned me. Now I am crushed and want to avoid it altogether for fear they may abandon me again... This is why I avoid people - because in my experience - people are mean and hurtful creatures.

I feel the same way. It's just too painful to interact or even try to get help. It's just not worth it in the end because you always get hurt.
