Does anyone else have Delayed Sleep Phase disorder? Feeling sluggish during the day and then feeling more awake/alert and able to think straight at night? I'm having such struggles with sleep patterns and this is strongly feeding my SA and depression. When I go to sleep I feel energetic and...

I have a love-hate relationship with the substance. Some days it really picks me up and gets me going, other days I have the feeling it wears me out and actually causes fatigue. It's usually in cycles (this probably has a lot to do with the way it affects my sleeping). As far as anxiety goes, I...

Is anyone really bloody scared how fast time flies by? Today is election day and 2 years ago we also had elections and I thought to myself, holy crap, that felt like yesterday. It scares me how fast time passes by, and how little I've really accomplished in those 2 years. It's really only gone...

Last night I felt lonely, stressed and fed up, and decided to go out at night for a ride on my bike. I went to some place just outside town, near the countryside, because I felt I needed some space and rest and couldn't find that at home or in this overcrowded city full of drunken loud people on...

Do you have them in your life? I have some roommates I can't stand being around. I have no idea what to say to them, and I'd rather just avoid them altogether. It's not necessarily rude behavior they display, I just think there's a big difference in personalities, and they can be very...

is anyone else sick of people's heated debating and strong opinions? Especially on the internet which is inconsequential/anomynous. What it boils down to each and every time is people attacking or going in defense mode when someone doesn't have the same opinion as theirs. Different opinion...

So I'm almost done with my grad project, which has kept me in depression/anxiety hell for almost 2 years. It's by no means something I'm proud of though, and doubt is kicking in. I have to contact my teachers about it and show it to them, but I feel so ashamed and idiotic about it. They're gonna...

These days I get ticked off really easily by people in general. I am often not in the mood for small talk and people's behavior or personality can really easily piss me off. Even to people close to me I react more and more intolerant and get into arguments more. I don't want to turn into a...

Does anyone experience a relationship between these? Personally my mood depends a lot on my work. Does it go well, am I productive, etc. then I feel great. Today was such a day. I'm an animator in training and I have lost the ability to draw well for a long time due to anxiety, fatigue and...

I wouldn't say I'm a dumb person at all, I've always been good at languages, history, culture and those sorts of things. But when it comes to technical, mathematical or logical insight (which are probably the most important in IQ tests), I think I have built up a lot of anxiety with makes me...

Do you think it's bad to judge others? Isn't it inevitable and the people who say they don't judge others merely say it to be perceived as a nice person? I've held up the Mr. Nice Guy facade for very long and it hasn't given me anything at all. I don't think "Judge not and you shall not be...

Is it good for two depressed people to be together? That's a question I wonder. I love my girlfriend and it's awful to be so judgemental about her, but she is what you could call depressed. She's unmotivated and totally un-proactive. Loses/forgets stuff a lot. Makes a mess of her room. She is...

So I've gotten with my girlfriend from France for holidays and spent some weeks with her and her family there. Trouble for me is that I don't speak the language quite yet, and they speak really fast. It quite heightens the social anxiety x 100. The family is very nice, and some speak English...

I had a dream (some stuff went on before it that I can't remember) that I somehow pissed off a Giant (well not really a giant, but a really inhumanely big guy), and me and some other guys headed back into our city to try and defend it. But the anticipatory anxiety of the giants coming to our...

I believe my slob-existence is one of the things I need to STOP in order to come out of depression. Too long I've looked at vague existentional questions as the root of my, what you could call, depression. Is it motivation? Is it that I don't care for myself? Insecurity? Or is it simply my...

I ask this to myself because there's some people in my environment who I don't have quite a good relationship with, quite cold actually. This may have emerged from the fact that I've been introverted, a bit a-social, shy, not talkative before and this impression has kind of lasted ever since...

I hate the wind. It seems kind of trivial, but wind causes me to become extremely self-concious about my appearance. I've always had problems with my curly hair, which is impossible to deal with, and I have quite a high hairline. When I go out I try to pay a lot of attention to my hair and...

The entire day I am tired. I have small bursts of energy, usually brought about by my craving for coffee or sugary stuff (I know I should probably give them up), but nothing constant. Usually around afternoon or early evening I feel so tired that I have to nap. Sometimes even several hours...

I don't know how to feel. My life is $hit right now. I'm almost two years over due to graduating and I'm gonna have to finish it really soon. But I've just not made any progress at all. I feel ashamed having to constantly tell people I'm such a perpetual loser, so I lie a lot about my...

I always have HUGE trouble communicating in the bar. I have to scream at the top of my longues to be heard over all the sound and music, and even then I have to repeat myself. I also often can't follow other conversations so I'm just sipping my beer and staring across the room. Also for some...
