Re: Does/Did university actually exacerbate your anxiety levels? Is anyone a uni drop

University was my low point with SA. I was so scared of talking to people I used to sneak out in the middle of the night to a vending machine to get my food. One day all they had in there were...

Re: What are you failing to do that you think should be easy?

Clean my flat. I'm really bad at it and when I do finish it, it goes back to being a shithole within days.

Re: Feeling down about having very poor social skills and no friends

I found small talk really difficult so I basically started writing down and rehearsing things that I think might come up in conversation with my coworkers. I would try and pay attention to what they...

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)

Thanks for your replies, it actually went really well in the end and my new step brothers and step sister seem really nice and easy to chat to which was a relief.

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)

My first post in a while, my Dad is getting married tomorrow and for the first time in a long time I'm dreading a social situation. I have come a long way with my social anxiety but throwing a new...

Re: Tips for overcoming social anxiety and meeting people

Agree with everything you say. Exposure therapy was the best remedy for me, just getting braver by doing things and eventually it becomes less scary. Even if you start small, I did things like...

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

Technically not today but I got offered a new job on Saturday. I'd been feeling really low for the last couple of months but this has given me a new purpose. It's a lot more money going from a...

Re: The Suicide Thread - Trigger Warning

Cheers guys, it's just I'm in a bit of a rut in all aspects of life at the moment; work, friends, family, the way I look. I can't remember the last time I laughed at anything. Maybe I am depressed...

Re: The Suicide Thread - Trigger Warning

I've found myself doing research on things like finding the best, least painful way of doing it, writing notes in my head, looking up whether I should write a will. Before I could shake it off and...

Re: Jordan Peterson on Social Anxiety

In his lectures he is quite forceful, I assume they aren't actually aimed at actually treating people with social anxiety. I've seen him doing Q&As with people who have anxiety and it has helped me....

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)

I've got a work leaving do tonight and my anxiety is through the roof. Worst I've been in a long time, I barely have any appetite and I can't stop thinking about it. I've kind of been in charge of...

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)

I'm so bored. Luckily I've still been working during the lockdown but had a week's holiday to take and I've run out of motivation to do stuff. Still got 3 more days to fill before I go back.

Re: C. B. T ?

Re: Small things that make you smile

I've managed to order my favourite beer online. It'll hopefully give me something to do during my holiday next week as there isn't much to do other than getting rat-arsed.

Re: Anyone else quite enjoying the coronavirus lockdown?

I'm a baker at Sainsburys so I've been working pretty much as usual. It's been nice to be thought of as a key worker rather than untermensch for working in a supermarket and my bosses have actually...

Re: Jokes about being quiet

I think a lot of people just don't understand what it is like to be shy and can't get their head around it. It's hard then for us to not take it personally when they do say something like you...

Re: The Suicide Thread - Trigger Warning

I've been struggling recently, I don't even feel that sad or depressed, just completely empty. I never used to wake up feeling down, even if I'd gone to bed the night before hoping I don't wake up...

Re: What are you doing right now? (6)

Watching football before I meet my Dad's new lady friend at 4 o'clock. I really don't know how I feel about the whole thing. It's been two and a half years since my Mum passed away and I want my...

Re: Physical appearance and SA

I was always sensitive about how young I looked. I was a really late developer and being at an all-boys school (whose idea was single sex schools by the way?) and being physically behind everyone...

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
