    I need to create recklessness in my life and take risks.

    Lately I've been wondering if I should do reckless stuff in my life to go against my fear of making mistakes. Like today I was trying to do handstands and really ran the risk of falling sideways onto my steel futon or falling on my back onto a hardwood floor. Normally I'm so incredibly...

    Persistent fear of being viewed as a creep or criminal.

    I was wondering has anyone in here had fears of being viewed as a criminal? I have anxieties about being near women's purses because I'm afraid something may go missing and it could be blamed on me. I am not a thief and genuinely have zero desire to steal, but for some reason I'm afraid people...

    I was wondering, is there anyone in here that has lost all passion for everything? Over the last six years slowly I've lost interest in nearly everything I used to enjoy.

    I'm not even sure if I'm a social phobic anymore...

    I'm not even sure if I'm a social phobic anymore. I read the topics in here and I start to reply and I realize I don't feel like it. I don't get nervous much anymore. Today we had a visit from the vice president of the corporation I work for (I'm a lowly associate in one of their stores) and...

    Can't sleep, wish I could leave, need fresh air, must escape

    Does anyone else have a hard time sleeping? I am probably going to be up until 3 or 4 in the morning and I really feel like I'm suffocating. I feel like I need to go take a walk or do something. I have no one to hang out with this late (it's almost 1am) and I really need some fresh air. I...
