    Is this OCD?

    My high standards stop me from doing so much. I'm too scared to put myself up to ANY tests, my standards are so high... I'm scared to go on runs because of this, to write tests, to go on bikerides, even to go on walks, constantly obsessing that I'm going to turn back because I won't meet my...

    Online school

    I'm failing the year only because I'm too afraid to go to school. I know that online school is the WORST idea for somebody with SA because then i'll get into a rut, but I was thinking that If I got a job and took online school it'd still force me to get out of the hosue every day...? I am going...

    Zoloft journal

    Ok well... this is Nothing like me. I don't believe in medication. I don't know why i'm doing it but i'm trying Zoloft. Nor do I know why i'm making it such a big deal... oh maybe because Prozac almost made me kill myself. I guess that makes sense then. I know all medications react to people...

    Worse since i've found SPworld

    Ever since I found this website I've been worse off... on this website I have somebody to talk to, only when I stay home. I have now a reason not to go anywhere, or not to step out my front door. Before I thought I was a freak, and so I forced myself to step out because I... well I don't know...

    I've missed a lot of classes, how many classes do you have to miss to get kicked out of highschool? anybody familiar with it? ALSO... My social worker is my principal's wife, and their daughter has agoraphobia and has been house-bound... this probably makes no difference because it's all too...

    anxious around your psychologist/therpist/social worker? etc?

    I had my first real session with my new social worker and my god.... I have never been more nervous in my life! I'm scared to show emotion, and when I realise that i'm sensitive to a subject that she's pushing, my brain and nerves just go HAYWIRE.

    Hunger and fatigue on anxiety

    I'm wondering whether getting into a teen-survivalism summer camp would help ease me into the social world. I'm afraid I might also end up being the quiet one and wasting a lot of money. If I were to do a survivalism camp... I'd be hungry, thirsty, tired, and learning from the same level as...

    When I post a new thread I purposely don't come back to this website or look at the thread for a couple days in fear of judgement.

    Zoloft (again)

    I feel I didn't get enough answers from other 'Zoloft' threads. There are like 3 floating around but hey, whatever. I personally Hate hate hate medication, I don't believe in it, and it kills something in me to do something I don't believe in. But i'm only getting worse, and I can't flunk out...

    How to prevent anxiety based eating?

    I eat really well, raw fruits vegetables and nuts only... every second or third day, that is. Because every other second/third day I end up binging on everything I shouldn't be..cookie dough, cake, etc. I only do it out of being anxious about things to come in the near couple of days... any...

    Unbearable loneliness

    I can't stand it anymore... I hate being so shy, and I hate being so negative. In my mind I think really positively, but for some reason everything I say is negative... I think because I tell myself people relate more with negative things, and when i'm nervous I spew out negative things about...

    Videogames? Chatrooms? Are they helpful?

    Does it help your SA or strengthen your SA when you escape into a videogame (ones that involves other people)? When I was a little kid-ling, I played Maplestory. I had SA then too, and I remember developing an ego from my status in games, like Maplestory. It actually boosted my ego in real life...

    Dumbest thing you've ever done because of SA

    For instance: I was skipping school (already stupid) and popping back home to check if my mom's car was gone yet. I kept going back and forth and the neighbor had been watching me as he worked on his garden... I felt like I was being suspicious so even after I knew she would be gone, I stayed...
