    My SA is better but has lasting effects

    Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Been busy with a lot of things and it has helped to get SA off my mind. I feel proud of myself that my SA has gotten better and I almost feel like a normal person for the first time in my whole life. I have no idea what changed in me. Growing up? Moving...

    Babbling...

    My little brother told me today that he stopped listing to me because I was talking too much. He asked me a question and I guess I just went on and on with my answer. It made me sorta self-conscious. When I am a little shocked that someone is speaking to me or nervous about speaking to...

    Thank you Marki and Bexi!!

    Thank you guys for the information you provided for my women presentation. I had to give a small speech in front of the class for this project. I have always had a public speaking phobia. Shaking, sweating, squirrly voice, etc. The weirdest thing is that this time, I didn't have any...

I am interested in interviewing any woman (girl; female) from a country other than the U.S. I will ask simple questions about gender roles and what is expected of women and what kind of freedoms women have. I will share this with my...

    How do you want to be remembered?

    I just realized something today. I want to live my life according to how I would like to be remembered when I'm gone. I would like people to say: "Angie cared very deeply." "Angie had a strong will." "Angie did not give in to unrealistic societal pressures." "Angie was always herself." "Angie...

    School vs. Fun

    I really want to finish my education because I want a particular career so badly. I don't want to be older and unhappy with my job. But on the other hand school is keeping me from doing a lot of things. Like I can't be where my boyfriend is right now. He's my best friend and gives me all my...

    My mom invited me and my boyfriend over last night for dinner. Me and my boyfriend live together so I'm not used to dealing with family drama since I moved out. Well as we were finishing dinner, my stepdad walked up to the table after refusing to eat, and started yelling at my younger brother...

    Stress

    Lately my SA and my GAD are interacting with each other and I am stressed to the max. I'm terrified I'm going to have a nervous breakdown soon. I feel like running away and starting over. Changing my name, never speaking to family/friends again. Mostly my family is stressing me out. I'm 21...

    Society

    Does anyone feel like the people in their society are ultimately not trustworthy or are selfish? Kinda like....every man for himself, or that people are stepping on each other to succeed. I bet this is an odd question, but it came to mind because of how we think that everyone is judging us...

    Running into people I know

    When I am out, say at a grocery store, and I see someone I kinda know I tend to act like I didn't see them so I don't have to talk to them. This can be an aunt, old friend, person from school. I wish I didn't do this though because I'm worried these people catch on to what I'm doing. The...

    Does anybody feel like they are always annoyed or impatient with other people or a situation? I am sooo impatient. And I hate to be asked to help other people with things. Today I am irritable because I have two middle school graduations to go to for my two younger half siblings and I...

    New here...struggling

    Hey everyone. I am new to this group. I am 21/f/KS (USA). I have never been diagnosed with SAD or GAD but I know there is something wrong with my thinking. I have been "shy" my entire life, but since I was 16 I have been pretending to be normal. Now I am starting to be open about my social...
