Lately, for weeks (maybe even over a month now; I haven't been keeping track), I've been overcome with paranoia about being the victim of a heinous crime (murder, rape, beaten, etc.) I fear this stuff happening in a more secluded area outside rather than in my own residence (though I've...

I have searched online high and low for answers to this, but it's like there's a lot left out, and I don't really know where else to reach out for advice on it. If anyone here can provide some input on how I can proceed with this, especially if you have knowledge of journalism (specifically op...

At the beginning of the year, I started frequenting this nightclub on most weekends. Each time was pretty nice, and during the last time I went (beginning of this month), I had a couple people actually try to talk to me. Then during VD weekend, I went to this event that happens bi-monthly...

Is anyone rather picky when it comes to dating? I know, right... We have social anxiety (and possibly other issues), therefore we have no RIGHT to be picky and should just take whatever we can get. Amirite? Dunno about anyone else here, but I say **** that. Lately I've been frustrated (well...

Hello, I don't have anyone to talk to about how I'm feeling right now, aside from my therapist, and I won't see her until this weekend. I've been a bad combination of anxious and depressed for the last few days or so. There's a specific reason, but I won't get into it on this thread (I'm up for...

Prozac, Zoloft, and probably every other antidepressant out there don't just lower the libido for me; they seem to make me lose physical interest in dating and relationships altogether. It's like my mind is all geared up for going on dates and getting to know guys I'm interested in, but I just...

All right, so... I'm posting this not only because I'm in this very situation and have a general interest in it, but also because I'm writing a magazine article for a class and I need some real-life experiences to add to it that aren't my own (any names I use will be anonymous, of course). If...

I frequently have urges to do outlandish things and act in a way that would amaze anyone who knows me, whether it be talking more or raising my voice. There are many times, however, when I feel the need to blow up on or get into spats with someone. Almost always, I'm in a bad mood or under...

A couple nights ago, I had an emotional breakdown from having difficulty finding a new job. I really wonder if there's more than that weighing down on me. I've noticed that I've been growing sick of feeling anger or disappointment. Reading the news, articles posted on my Facebook front page, or...

So, I have a project for a class I'm taking where I have to conduct at least four interviews, some of which need to be done online. The interview is about social media usage. If anyone wants to help me out with this, send me a message and I will respond with the questions. Oh, and b.t.w...

Hey ya'll. So I found this article posted on Facebook: Are North American Women Really THAT Bad? | Taken by the Wind | Taken by the Wind I have no problem with the article, but the comments... Holy sh*t. Just read some of them! If I didn't know any better, I'd say that equality in...

Seems like I just don't get all that anxious much anymore in social situations (or in general, for that matter). If I do feel anxiety, it's such a small amount that I don't even notice it. I wonder if doing extracurricular work for the campus paper is the reason for this disappearance. On the...

It's been over a week, probably about two weeks, since I quit taking my daily 20mg of fluoxetine (brand name Prozac) cold turkey. I haven't experienced any withdrawal symptoms, and I've yet to go back to the large amount of mood swings and overreactions I had before going on the medication. Best...

I haven't written anything in months and want to get back into the routine, so I've decided to create this new journal. Since July I've had all these thoughts floating around inside my head and I'm at the point where I need to release them. So without further ado... Lately, I've been thinking...

Lately I've been wondering if I have more than just severe social anxiety. Obviously, I tend to isolate myself and get nervous in social situations (which leads me to avoid them altogether sometimes). I've had trouble with even basic interactions and my social anxiety has even severed...

For a while, I've been feeling under the weather, and today I spiraled down suddenly. It's been a while since I've been legitimately depressed. My therapist is probably going to wonder what happened since the last time I saw her, because in many of my past sessions, I've been in a decent mood...

I think I have both of those. And I think they may have just driven this guy away from me. I'm finding that I'm afraid to open up when it comes to dating, because I'm scared of getting hurt again. I told this guy I'm dating that, and I don't think he was too happy with it. He thought it was...

That's how it appears to look lately. Forget school, socializing, dating, hobbies, and keeping my apartment clean. I'll procrastinate on all of that in favor of job searching. In a way, I feel like I'm starting to define my worth based on how much I work. Since that isn't much at the moment, I...

I've been applying for various photography jobs and paid internships so that I'll have some job security by the time I graduate in about two months. Last night, I applied for some jobs, and today I got a response back from one of them. It's a paid internship for a small fashion photography...

This is something that I've always had a problem with. I struggled with it when I first started dating, it put a damper on my last relationship, and now that I'm trying to get back into dating, it's popping up again. I've been trying to talk to various guys on this site I'm on, and I managed to...
