I thought we needed a place to gripe without judgment.

Keeping it short, what is your biggest complaint today?

Mine is driving anxiety....it is limiting me and I feel will cause my friends to give up on me.

My anhedonia. Hands down. I can't find pleasure in a chocolate covered orgasm wrapped in $500 right now!

Anxiety. It's very draining.

I want to be more open and outgoing to make more friends, but my anxiety always holds me back. Basically, I constantly worry what other people will think of me, and I'm afraid of doing something stupid that I'll regret. So, I tend to keep to myself. That's probably a large reason why I don't have friends anymore. I went from having a large handful of friends to having none. I tend to shut everyone out when I'm anxious.

I'm sure this feels like a problem, but there have been lots of days where this would have been heaven.

Hope you feel "something" soon

I have been there many times in my life.
Social anxiety is a tough thing to overcome.
These days I am down to two friends and they are
not what I would call close friends.

You can really do anything and make it look good, really! Anything! Seriously.

Wear a tin foil hat. As long as you're confident it looks better than without. Really (just is so paradoxical that confidence is hard: common sense, so just insanity, trumps emotion and reason)!

You've got it the wrong way round (probably): it's not doing the right thing that gives you confidence, it is confidence making things right! (I sell T-shirts with that one ) That's how it works, whether you like it or not.

Same with mania: people suddenly see the crazy after they've believed in you for way too long. You were crazy to begin with. Just be it with pride! Integrate some (or all if you want) of that mania in your "true self". You can if you don't feel it's something "wrong": it's better than doing things with no confidence and all your morality and rationality completely intact.

Believe me: I am utterly crazy and don't hide it and have great friendships.

I really hope you don't give up! Be yourself and love it, no matter what.

Threads being closed or deleted. Sins not being remembered (mine and those of others). Helpful explanations not being remembered. Displacement and delusions you cannot fight (obviously).

Thought police (possibly: haven't heard back) making it impossible to share and ask questions about anything other than my cat or my emotional state (still very stable, thank you).

Today it's my anxiety. But that's everday. I can't even eat anything without feeling like puking and I was on verge of having a panic attack before and had to go on break and come outside. Right now I'm sitting here trying not to freak out.

Sorry if I am not in time reading any of your posts, if you do.

No worries.

I can't tell you what it was about because it has been deleted (to complicated to repeat/remember), but it matters not.

Not important for who it doesn't concern, I guess, but certainly no cause for confusion, too much attention.

I have to go back to work and I'm already freaked out about it. I'm afraid it will cause instability. But I'm trying to keep calm by reminding myself to not take what the students say/do personally and that there's only two and a half months left.
