Re: Attending best friends wedding

Re: An oh-so-simple phone call

Re: have you ever..

Ah right. Still really sorry to hear about that.

Perhaps you grew up in an environment where dysfunctional people were saying bad things about you and were hyper-critical. I think it can leave a...

Re: have you ever..

Sorry if I am sounding obtuse or prying for too much info, but was it a matter of suicide?

Re: Horrible mum

It might not be in your nature but you said if you stand up to her it works, so you need to do that.

You have cancer, you need as little stress as possible, frankly it may sound harsh but I don't...

Re: My social skills are getting worse as I get older

I know its your real thoughts. Tbh, your points have genuinely made me think about some things and question things in an interesting way. I totally relate to feeling and identifying as a loser but...

Re: My social skills are getting worse as I get older

tbh Sunrise, at first I wasn't sure if you were creating posts that were just a bit "testing" or provocative to get a response or something like that from people on the forum. but then I read more of...

Re: My social skills are getting worse as I get older

Sunrise, was there a moment or time that you thought that things changed for you?

You still seem pretty dialled into popular culture though. Unless I have that wrong.

Yes I think that advice...

Re: What are you doing to get better?

I understand the phone thing. I'm looking forward though to hearing more from you if you have time.

That's cool that you met someone from this forum. It's reassuring to know nobody would judge me...

Re: What are you doing to get better?

Changing accent and voice for me was because I felt unacceptable and unlovable and unlikeable as I am. Too this or too that. Some people had said this to me before so it wasn't like it was completely...

Re: How much do you do based on what you think other people would think of you?

See you how feel after your break. Enjoy it for the time being and evaluate to see if you want to go back and if it will be useful.

That's good that your anxiety has improved a little bit from...

Re: Pregabalin anti-anxiety drug in the news

Ben, have you tried the closely related drug gabapentin? Could be worth having a chat with your psychiatrist with by discussing the stoned feeling you are experiencing.

Re: Chanting Om (Aum)

Om is often said for spiritual/meditative purposes from what I know but if it works for you when you say it perhaps by activating the vagus nerve, then go for it.

Re: Pregabalin anti-anxiety drug in the news

Re: Indulging in fantasy
