So, so down and wondering where to go post CBT, as I can see a number of mental issues beyond social anxiety, namely low self-esteem, inferiority complex, especially with women and motivation to do anything.

[Ross PK]

Didn't CBT work well for you?

[Pal]

Shit ATM, the old nice guy issue has raised it's ugly head for me and got me depressed.

It worked on my social anxiety, definitely - and the measures confirm this, but I feel that there are other issues, which can only really be tackled by self help.

[Kevin Hodge]

i feel like my energy has been well and truly wrung out of me. like i'm a tea bag that has been used 20 times. like i've been abused by a vampire in the night. like i've been kicked in the nuts, but without the localised pain. you know that deep depression and sense of ultimate defeat you get from a kick in the stones? my mind has assumed the form of the thought "GO. LIE. DOWN." it's not screaming this , my mind just is that thought - everything i do just brings me back to that inevitable and undeniable order.

pity i have to do a shift in one job, and then a shift in the other straight after, today.

i've already ridden caffiene for all it's worth ande my body can't do that anymore. i just need to go to bed. but it ain't happening.

*waves wrist limply*

when will i bloody learn? if i'd just gone to bed an hour earlier i probly wouldn't feel this way.

[misslaura]

I feel abit frustrated and let down progress I thought i had made seems challenging now.
Feel more self concious outside of my flat and I think my neighbours are thinking things of me and peering out at me ...To cut along story short,me and my bf had to make a complaint about them(they are noisey at night) and now well my self concious and sa has got intense because of this problem : / when before i felt alittle more anoymous but not now : ( it feels confrontational and personal.
And me and my b.f have seen the guy staring out he just gorps what a tosser

[Winnie57]

^ It is always hard making complaints about people misslaura and it is bound to make you feel self-conscious. Your neighbours are bound to have a bit of a grudge against you and your bf for complaining about them but you just have to try not to let it bother you - you are the ones in the right!


I feel scared and worried and have thoughts about my problems dominating my head. I wish I didn't have to think about the same thing all the time.

[misslaura]

thanks winnie Hope you feel better soon too

[Winnie57]

^ thanks misslaura

Hungry and sore because I have better things to spend £250 on than having a cap fitted hense am hoping it just rots away quickly (the tooth!) Perhaps when I develop an ulcer from all the ibuprofen Im taking and it bursts they will take pity on me in hospital and whip it out under local?? Cheery!!

( I just dont want to work an extra shift really!)

Ps notice the self portrait has a closed mouth smile!!

That sounds rough, Skink. Why do you treat yourself so horribly?

[Winnie57]

^ Sorry you feel this way Vi

I feel as if everything's hopeless. People I turn to for help can't give me the help I need and end up hurting me and punishing me instead. Life is cruel

[Pal]

I'm feeling pretty low too at the moment.

[Winnie57]

for Pal, Vi, magika, Concept and anyone else


I can't stop crying. I cried myself to sleep and woke up crying.

[Andrew]

Like I'm not (and will never be) interesting or charismatic enough to have any real friends

[Concept]

Give yourself a chance and don't reinforce your negative thinking by condeming yourself to inaction. There's a huge swathe of people out there with different interests, likes and lives. I'm sure you can find some friends.

Winnie: Thanks. I hope you're feeling a little less for wear.

I'm feeling hot and bothered. I'm also feeling as though I don't have the energy to communicate. I've been contemplating writing a post in the SA room for days, and trying to become more responsive. The truth is there is no light to the back of me and there is no light forward. It's just one path to nowhere... accompanied by the patter of someone's feet that fit all too well to where it leads.

i'm just kinda messed up at the mo, but i'm moving in the right direction. it's just a process of recorvery (lol! not that you'd know it!), i've been through it before a few times. i'll get there

i'll be kickin huge ass in a month or two

all i can say is, no wonder. sounds like you are going through a really rough time. it's GOING to get better though, just hang on. the good bit is coming

[Winnie57]

^ I'll have to trust you on that one sullenskink - thanks
Thanks for your thoughts too Concept

Hope you both feel better soon - and Andrew too - hope you start feeling better about yourself before long.

[TimB72]

Hugs to all the SA'ers that feel low try and escape from your pain/troubles for a while, in whatever way you can, it really helps. Banish those negative/harmful thoughts too, I know only too well how they drag you down/back - even during good times

I feel good, though a few aches and pains in my arms still - I defo need to get fit!

Don't know what to say apart from i hope you feel better soon.

[Biggie14]

Not very well. After a track meet today for my school, I just completely failed at every event. I gave up in each race, and taunts from spectators demoralised me. I feel worthless and depressed, to such an extent that I've seriously considered to start taking steroids

[Blueberry]

Like i want to run away.....run away from all my problems and the stuff i cant handle and dont want to face.
I feel very low and hate everything right now.
I feel so alone.

[Concept]

.
Help.

[Winnie57]

Biggie, Blueberry and Concept

I feel a little better today - a little communication has helped clear up some serious worries I had. I'm still missing my son though

Dear winnie, time will make things right I´m sure,
and to all else who are feeling down, confused alone ect (big hugs)

As for me I am feeling discombobulated! (again)

[Winnie57]

^ Great to see you back Kate -

Hope you get combobulated soon
