I guess it's time to re-introduce myself

Hey everyone,

It's been so long. I used to come on here a lot (different profile) but then facebook took over. I'm back now. (I'm going back to SAS too so don't be surprised if you see a duplicate post).

My name's Charlene, I'm 26, and living in Tipperary. I'm originally a Limerick lady (lady... yeah right!). I love my TV series (i get obsessive) and scaring the shite out of myself. I get addicted to things really easily too. Games, books, websites, you name it!

I don't think there was ever a time when I didn't suffer from social anxiety. But for the first 21 years I just thought I was weird. I am weird, but I have an excuse now! I also HATE how I look. I have thyroid problems which mean I'm overweight, and I'm really self-conscious about it.

Well there's my boring introduction out of the way. Glad to be back!

Hi. Sorry you hate the way you look. If that's you in your avatar picture, you're pretty. :)
That photo was taken a while back, before my roots grew back and I gained a lot of weight. Depressing!

Re-hello.

What TV series do you obsess over? Welcome back, at any rate. :)
Oh I have a few. Lately it's True Blood, The Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones, Pretty Little Liars. There's many more!

Welcome back :)

What shows do you like? and what is a limerick lady?
Limerick's the city I'm from. And a lady is a respectable woman who doesn't swear - which I'm not, so that part was a lie! :p

Eh up!

'Ello stranger! I wish i was strong enough to take a break from facebook. Much respect to you!
 
Hi Charlene welcome back :) how are you doing?

Hey David! I'm kind of a mess. 26 years of anxiety and hating how i look are taking their toll on me. :sad: I should be happy, but I'm not because I feel useless and disgusting. It's the stupidest reason ever to be depressed, but i'm irrational!

It's been ages since we spoke properly! How are you? Any news on the Mater?

sorry to here that anxiety is just the worst :sad: hope things improve for you soon:) My anxiety hasn't really gotten any better either i'm very much avoiding all human contact at the moment still have no friends and stick to myself. have applied to the cao so hopefully be giving college anther go although points have going up alot so not sure if i might get any of my choices.

I haven't heard from the mater group since, I applied last december and they said i might be waiting a year. you did it right? I think i asked you before but how did you find it? are you still i contact with the others in the group? There might be a social anxiety group starting near me soon my psychologist said she was going start one sometime this summer so maybe that will help

Hi there, nice to meet you.
I was in Limerick once, had a lot of fun there. There was a pub there with tons of signed paper coasters on the walls. I signed one and put it up there. I think it was called Tom and Jerry's? Well, regardless, it was a fun trip, haha!
I have thyroid issues too, and they really contribute to the anxiety and depression. Really stinks.
By the way, you are beautiful, it's common to assume we look how we FEEL, which is often (for me) pretty crappy, but I assure you, you look pretty!

You sound cool! And I love your pink hair! :D I get obsessive over different subjects too... one moment it's a series, another it's reading a lot about zodiac or astrology, and then exercising etc etc... I guess if you enjoy something, then obsess away! haha. I thought I was really weird at first too... then I searched about it online and viola! Found this site. Feeling a lot better now :) hope you will too! What games do you play? do you mean like pc/ps games? I love mmorpgs :3
 
Game of thrones and the walking dead? My fav two shows of all time!
You have excellent taste!! I can't wait til October!

I'm avoiding human contact too, so you're not alone! I've no friends either. I've a habit of distancing myself from people every time i gain weight.

Can you not apply as a mature student? I'm hoping to start a course next year and am hoping points dont matter!

Oh yeah i remember waiting ages to start that group in the Mater. It was good, but i wasn't putting the work in so didn't benefit as much as the others. I should have worked harder. I still have one guy as a facebook friend but we don't really talk. See, i didn't do the follow up group so i havent seen anyone in ages. Ah cool, i hope the social anxiety group helps you!

I think I know Tom & Jerry's! I think we went there on St. Patrick's Day a few years back. Oh thyroids suck ***! I'd love to have a normal one. Is yours overactive or underactive?

I've been on the receiving end of body shaming more times than a person could count, so it's definitely affected how I see myself. So i hate that i'm now my heaviest. It's stupid. I let society dictate how i should look.

Your a dish

Oh I read the comics too. I need something to get me through withdrawal. I got so excited when Abraham, Eugene and Rosita appeared on the show! Can't wait til they introduce Negan! (if the don't i'll be very upset.)

Thanks! That hair was ages ago. I went red after that and now Its a million shades of brown and blonde. Not intentional. Might dye it red again tonight to hide my shame! I agree with the obsessions. Nothing gives me more of a rush than something exciting happening in a book or show. I get stupidly excited! You won't believe this but I've never played an MMORPG. My laptop isn't strong enough. I love my DS. There's a load of addictive games. I love stuff like Devil Survivor, 999, Ace Attorney, Broken Sword and Pokemon games.
On my laptop I'll play what i can get working. Ever-17 was good. I love japanesey stuff! On XBox i'm playing Alan Wake (though its so bloody hard), and LA Noire. I have no life! :p What games do you like?

My thyroid is under-active. Every time I have a kid I get postpartum thyroiditis and it really messes with me. Up and down. So frustrating. I have been reading about taking selenium. I will let you know if I try it and it works.
We women have to stick together. It's not our responsibility to be pleasing to the eye. We have to stop feeling ashamed.
Hope to get to know you better :)

Hi Charlene just seen activity from someone Irish on this site so i had to say hello,been on this site on and off a while and never really been much Irish about.
Drogheda here,a long way to tipperary lol,love your taste in tv and games,its not long ago i done nearly every game my pc could handle but not so much lately am busier with kids too.
Had LA noire recently on my laptop usually finish the games but that one got annoying seemed like i was constantly re doing bits when i asked the wrong question trying to do it perfect instead of just moving on with some of them right,i kept going back to try and make sure i got all the questions spot on stupid or what huh,and it moves a bit slow but that could be my laptop not up to scratch either lol.But i liked the idea of the game just started to drive me mad so i deleted it.
