How much does your environment affect your anxiety? Mine stresses me out 24 hours a day. I'm never alone, I never get any time to unwind or recharge. It's just a constant deluge of stimulation that leaves me in a mess. Stone of it is blatant harassment to get a rise out of me from people that...

It's been 8 years since I've joined this website. Sadly I still suffer from anxiety. Back when I first joined, I never left my house much. Now I'm always out of the house, and I'm working. That's a huge improvement for me. I still have the lingering ticks, looking at people the wrong way, not...

I've had so many embarrassing situations due to anxiety, countless memories that make me shiver when I think about them. Usually I come home and brood about it for an hour or 2 then magically i get over it. I seem to have the knack of putting bad experiences somewhere int he back of my mind and...

I know for a fact that I don't, fear cripples me sometimes and I hate that. On good days I notice I do better in certain situations, so I know there's room for improvement. On stressful days I'm just a wreck and as bad as I can be.

seriously, keep this thread alive, do it for mankind!!

Sometimes I try to be intentionally abrasive towards people to avoid interacting. It's a defensive mechanism for those moments where I fear an anxiety attack coming. I don't enjoy doing it, I would prefer to be myself, but if I had to choose between seeming unapproachable or seeming like a...

Even though I don't care about thanksgiving at all, i find myself strangely depressed this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I'm sitting here alone and there are happy families everywhere enjoying a joyous holiday that is subconsciously eating at me. We all know the statistics that the holiday...

I usually resort to being a bit of a joker when i get depressed. outwardly i see myself as being annoying and not funny but its hard to stop, and usually it ends by someone being offended by something i said, and me feeling depressed some more. its very self destructive really, when i feel down...

its so hard for me to keep my spirits up, every couple days, no matter how hard i try, i fall back down. man isnt meant to be this isolated, thats why god gave adam eve, so adam wouldnt end up like me. being alone makes everything worthless, i just laid in my bed today with my hands between my...

I've completely missed out on my adolescence and my young adult years, I'm turning 24 next month and it seems I may be depressed and lonely for some more time to come. Besides the pain of depression the fact that I never got to experience things regular ppl my age do really saddens me. I can...

I spend most of my time away from the world, in my room. Just the thought of standing infront of someone being judged makes me cringe. this manifests itself when i get out, i avoid eye contact at all costs, i hate being near anyone for more than a short time. I'm really bad right now, as I've...

I struggle with heavy depression everyday, I'm agoraphobic and very anxious. I have a terribly manipulative brother. He is very immature and often tries to get his own way. The worst part of it is that when he throws tantrums, he tries to abuse me by picking on my depression. Lately, in another...

I got trolled in the chat room recently, the person was anonymous but seemed to know a little about me. I basically have an odd looking face and this has led me to be a shut in. The person asked me if i have SA or do I just have self esteem issues. Regardless of what it is, I have been a mess...
