This is a strange thing. When we get so attached to a piece of fiction that when it finally concludes, it is almost a life event--like no longer being able to speak to a close friend of yours. The first time this happened for me was when the Harry Potter series of novels was concluded. I had...

Yep. I graduated with very high standing as an undergraduate in a subject I love, so I decided to continue on and get a masters degree with the intention of getting a phd afterwards. Of course, this was while I was experiencing a resurgence of my old friend depression, and my long standing...

Skype doesn't work for me at all. I'll reinstall it and try making a new account. Anyways I hope you weren't worried.

I had a conversation with some people today about music. One of them said that "our generation dosen't really listen to music." I don't know if I agree with this, but maybe it is true. I am a musician, and music is absolutely essencial to my existance. Really, music is one of the things that I...

How many of you have gone through treatment for your anxiety, though you succeeded, and then found out some time later that it wasn't as successful as you thought? I am one of these people.

So, I was hired by a professor to work with him on a reasearch project over the semmester, paid for by the university. I have been really stressed out over a large number of things, and busy with five courses. I don't sleep more than 2 hours every 3 days, and depression is an obvious thing that...

Hey. I'm 22, and I've never dated anyone before. I want to ask this person on a date, but I have no idea how to do this. Any advice?

Hey guys. This is embarrassing, but I lost my (filled) prescription for sleeping pills. I believe that I threw them out into the trash by accident while I was cleaning up my room. I do, however, have a refill on file. Do you think that it would be a big deal if I went in and asked for them? It's...

I may or may not have something of a date tomorrow. I'm not sure. I told person y about event x, and then y decided that we were going together. y is a very compasionate person, but I'm afraid of somehow ****ing it up. I don't know if I should tell her about my anxiety issue--regardless of...

I'm ****ed. People at school think I"m this brilliant guy, but I'm really a wildly insecure person with anxiety. My anxiety has been redued substancially, but the insecurity has not. I still don't think that I'm worth while, and I don't have any real social skills. Some person just rejected me...

Hey. I took 60mg by accidnet, instead of my regular 20mg. I had a headache, and grabbed the wrong bottle. Am I ****ed?

Hey. So, people like to get to know each other, and become friends. I'm not exactly sure as to what to say to a person when you ask them if they want to hang out or w/e for the first time. Do you ask: "do you want to get to know each other?", "do you want to hang out?", "do you want to get a...

Hey. So, there's this person at my university who frequently peeks over at me and smiles. Often, she blushes when she looks at me. Does this nessacarilly mean that she is interested in getting to know me? I'm honestly not entirely sure .

So, I have been talking to this one person, who also has SA for around 5 months. I decided one day to ask her if she would like to hang out one day (by this I really meant hang out--as friends). She construed it as me asking her out on a date, which would be a bad thing as she is working things...

SO, I was on facebook earlier today, and found out that there is a SA page. I cliked on it (did not like it), and then found a poll that was asking: "who have you told you have SA." I clicked on one of the options, the wrong one accidently, and later found out that it was posted on my face book...

I find that having social anxiety issues tends to weird others out. How do you think that ordinary people (those without severe anxiety issues) perceive us? Do you think that it's generally: "that person is bizzare, and I don't trust him? He should stay the hell away."? That's what I think.

I have a part time job working with a supervisor who is all of the following things: •*misogynistic • homophobic • dogmatic • stupid I could give you examples of all four, but I'de rather give you his latest illustration of ignorance. He attempted justified the civilian death toll in iraq...

I have very little in common with my Father. For instance, we have no hobbies in common, nor do we have interests in common. My father is obsessed with conforming to social norms, which is fine, but I apprently "am incapable of understanding them." But, what I mean by this is that if you do not...

I took an entire zopiclone today to see if it would effect my anxiety at work. I wish I hadn't this was a mistake. Work starts in 2 hours, and I'm going to be zoned out for all of it. I could fall asleep now. Playing vids to keep me somewhat aleart

My supervisor has lied to me. Apperently, I was supposed to work yesterday on Sunday. However, I was scheduled for 22 hours (24 hours, paid for 22) last week, which I worked. This week (so even in the case that the week starts on Sunday) I am scheduled to work for six hours tonight, 7 hours on...
