I want to sift through all of my problems in one sitting. I have so much tension today. My social angst is at a high. I want a quick solution but, there never seems to be the right kind of answer.
I am always looking for a sign. I alone and isolated and I am told the obvious - that this is the wrong thing for me. I don't want it to be this way but it is so, I deal with it. I just want people to help me with my circumstances as is, with in my realm of understanding. |

Did something happen today or yesterday to make you tense?

what is the range of your understanding?
how old are you? that could help me a little better come across to you please tell us more about what it is you fear in social situations? it it your focus on yourself or others that is out of proportion? is this keeping you from maintaining your responsibilities to date? how much of this is hurting you inside, and your life outside? see, I need a little more to go on ... if you can find time to answer me, I will try to give you feedback, as will others also. many probably already do understand where you are at - but i need a little extra info, ok peace, nightbird

I can relate to how you feel.
I suffer from both social anxiety and depression. I think the anxiety is worse for me. It interferes in my daily life, and at its worst, I can barely leave the house for fear of encountering people. I know the isolation is not the best thing for me, but I view it as a necessary evil in a way sometimes. Sometimes I just need to have that comfort of being alone and not being judged. I know a lot of the "being judged" part is all in my head or mostly so, but there are times when rational, logical thinking just aren't enough. I wish right now I could take your (and my) anxiety away. I can't, the only thing I can offer is my sympathy and the advice to hold strong and do the best you can to get through the roughest times. Don't beat yourself up over it. Try your best and know you are not alone. Know things can get better. Hang in there... |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
