    Getting older

    A lot of people here seem younger than me, I'm 33. It may sound strange but I'm happy that life passes by so quickly. I can't wait till I'm 50 or 60, I don't care about life anymore. I can't believe that I used to feel so sad about getting older and "missing out" on life. Now I see it as coming...

    Advice from friends..

    Some 'friends' were telling me that it is 'no wonder' that I suffer from anxiety and depression, because I have no woman in my life (I'm 33). They claim it is impossible to concentrate on anything (work, study), as long as I'm single.. I'm sure they mean well, but frankly I think it's an...

    Expose yourself to fearful situations?

    I have exposed myself to anxiety-causing situations over and over again - and it never reduces the anxiety. In fact, about five months ago, I was exposed daily to very large social fears (at work) that emotionally crippled me and facing my fears only made things worse. "Expose yourself to...

    Do you suppress your emotions?

    I always seem to suppress my facial expression and emotions, especially during stressful events, but also in everyday situations. Concealing my facial expressions and emotions is extremely demanding and taxing. I can't listen to people during conversations, or forget what they say very quickly...

    I must look like a monster

    I swear I must look like a monster or something, because every time a smiling/laughing person looks at me, they stop immediately. They look very cautious until I pass by. Some people almost crap their pants when they look at me, I kid you not :eek: It just shows me that I am the only one of my...

    Insomnia is screwing me over

    I'm barely averaging 4-5 hours of sleep, sometimes even less. I think it's caused by depression/anxiety. Anyone suffering from chronic insomnia? Is there anything you can do about it :confused:

    Loneliness

    In the past four weeks my parents were on vacation, so I was completely alone for a whole month. I have never felt so sad and lonely in my life. I fear the day my parents will die because then I will have absolutely nobody. Their absence reminded me of the terrible loneliness I have to deal with...

    Were you breastfed?

    I was never breastfed, and was wondering how many of you weren't breastfed either. I've read some researches indicating that babies who weren't breastfed are more prone to mental illnesses later in life.

    Accepting your feelings?

    What exactly does it mean to accept your feelings and thoughts. How can I accept my crippling anxious feelings, when they prevent me from doing what I want to do? How can I accept my terrible anxiety when those feelings make me suffer so much, that I can't concentrate on anything and affects my...

    Confidence and relationships

    Would you agree with the following statements; I think being nice, but lacking confidence, is much worse (i.e far less attractive) than being a confident abusive asshole. The majority of woman would choose the latter. As long as you're confident and aren't butt ugly, you should not have a...

    Paying attention to other people's reactions?

    I not only pay close attention to my own reactions during social situations, but I always pay close attention to other people's reactions towards myself as well. Can anyone relate to this? Yesterday, I was reading some articles about avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety disorder...

    Question to females

    If I'm ever going to be in a relationship, the woman has to accept that I will need to spend lots of time alone. She would be sitting alone in another room for hours and shouldn't have a problem with this. Also, I definitely don't want to sleep in the same bed, except when having sex. Do you...

    I think I'm cured?

    I feel awesome today, no anxiety at all. I have never felt so confident. I'm so confident that I could approach an attractive woman. This is scary. Help!! LOL, but seriously, I think I can overcome my anxiety in social interactions, except at work. Pressure at work still causes tremendous...

    Nice guys and women

    I just saw that on another board some fool has posted this. He is probably a troll, but what he said really baffled me. "nice guys' are not God's gift to woman. In fact they're usually far from it. They're basically the same douchebags that bad boy players are, just without the charisma and sex...

    Do you think you're ugly?

    It may sound strange, but my anxiety is triggered by my deep conviction of being ugly, and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm bound to suffer horribly, since my appearance is not going to change.

    Add?

    Does anyone have this or know how to get diagnosed? I seem to have most symptoms. I can't focus on anything, I feel exhausted, I have too many thoughts, mood swings, feeling of restlessness and agitation. Extreme procrastination etc. etc.
