How are you feeling?

[MikeyC]

I'm sorry to hear that Mikey. Hope you feel much better soon

I still feel horrible. :: But thanks, Srijita. I hope you're doing better. Are you over your illness?

*group hug with Marie and Mikey*

With you in Barcelona, Marie in Indiana, and myself in Shellharbour, have we just hugged the world due to perfect triangulation?

I hope so! Btw next time we fall on the floor we can say we're just hugging someone from the other side of the world


Seriously, I hope you feel better soon man. You know you can talk to me whenever you want, PM me or on minimessenger or whatever.

Mum: Why are you on the floor?
Me: I'm hugging Mr. Jones.

Seriously, I hope you feel better soon man. You know you can talk to me whenever you want, PM me or on minimessenger or whatever.

Thanks, mate.

A combination of my own stubbornness, the pressures I keep feeling from society, and some very minor frustrations with classes.

A combination of my own stubbornness, the pressures I keep feeling from society, and some very minor frustrations with classes.

Well, stubbornness can be a problem somtimes, but if it's part of you you have to accept the consequences if afterall it makes a great person as you are.
Society pressure is always frustrating, sometimes I wish I could ignore it for good, but sadly we can't. Anyway it's nice to feel other people will accept that not everyone is the same and some just are not exactly what society wants us to be, and I like that.
Frustrations from classes... yeah, I feel that too... I'm doing my exams now and frustration is worse every day >.<


Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

Thanks. With classes, there's one last thing I have to do for one of them, even though I had the final earlier this afternoon. I also looked up textbooks for my classes next semester, and not only do I need quite a lot of them, but they're sooo expensive. >.<

As for stubbornness and pressure from society... It seems that all this pressure to be more outgoing and extroverted and peppy in this black hole known as college just makes me NOT want to get over my SA. It's kinda like when everyone expects you to be happy during Christmas, just for the sake of the holiday. Basically it's people telling you how you should be acting/feeling, and I hate being told how to act or feel. I guess I'm a natural rebel in that sense, where I just want to do the opposite of what's expected of me.

Most of the books teachers told me to get are either on the library or I can download a .pdf version from somewhere on the net. I don't know how your classes work (as I don't use textbook, they only recommend them as an extra and you can work without them) but I guess you could ask someone whenever you need it (but I know it's not easy to do :/).

I'm like you in that sense, I think. When you are feeling some way you don't have to feel something else just because you're supposed to be happy during Christmas, it's just ridiculous. And the same with general behaviour, if you're not outgoing and extroverted, you don't have to change just so others like you. I like people that are neither outgoing or extroverted, so you don't have to change if you like who you are
I don't do it just because I want to do the opposite, though, I'm just like this and if someone doesn't like it, to hell with them

I know I'll never be extremely outgoing or peppy or anything like that. I know that the point of turning my SA around is supposed to be for ME, and me alone, but I can't help but feel like the only reason I'm trying to change it around is so other people will like me (which I find kind of pathetic).

When I imagine myself as outgoing, though, I don't think of myself as being real peppy and bubbly; I think of myself as being kind of an @$$hole, but not in a necessarily bad way. I guess I'd prefer to be the smart@$$ that takes no crap from people, has lots of intelligent/clever things to say, and can be nice at the same time.

I am beyond frustrated. It's like the lights are on, but nobody's home.

I don't think it's pathetic, we all want (need) to feel accepted. I don't know if it means anything, but I like you the way you are already. I know most people just like certain people, and you'll find a lot of people that won't like you, but I'm sure that there are other people that like you out there, you just have to find them. Sooner or later, you will find them, I'm sure

As long as that line in the sand isn't blurred, that's okay. There's a difference between confident in yourself and cocky.

What's wrong?

 

[Phoenixx]

Content. Last night here and I actually feel ready for my test tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow is going to be such a long day, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

Cool Phoenixx! What exams do you have tomorrow?

^ Nutrition and Accounting. And I only had to study for one of them.

Hehehe, someone sounds confident. Where's this coming from?

 

[WeirdyMcGee]

Sick. in pain... anxious.
Second appointment with new anxiety therapist.

...I have a feeling she's going to suggest I try group therapy every other week.

or maybe she's different from the others and actually understands what agoraphobia means?
hahaaaah!

^ I'm not sure, but I like it.

My Accounting final is online, and my teacher said it was open book, which is awesome. One less thing I have to worry about studying for.

^ Try not to be so quick to assume. Maybe she won't be like the others. Maybe she'll have other options for you instead, that doesn't involve group therapy anything. Hang in there. All you can do is wait to see what she comes up with to help you.
