Severe social anxiety problems now.

What do I do now?

I have a severe case of OCD but by no means irrational nor delusional. There is this chick that believed I stalked her, went on an endless rant to our friends in common and ridiculed me for months to no end. I avoided this chick. Eventually she was upset that I was avoiding her. She started to sit around me, sit next to me, stare at me across the classroom, and talk about me, then later using "code names" such as a "lesbian lover" as her friends were sick of hearing it.

I was on medication at the time, stuff causing severe anxiety problems, muscle relaxation and tension, ejaculations caused by anxieties, deprivation, massive weight gain, psychotic rages, difficulty concentrating or understanding simplistic problems that I mastered the year before, EPS, and worse OCD symptoms (just to be told it was all my fault by my psychologist). Fundamentally I wanted to be left alone during being victimized for these ~7 months of being on medication.

I responded by insulting the living **** out of her in facebook messages every time I caught her hounding me. I tried removing common friends, let alone, a few of them sat there and degraded me constantly. She eventually threatened me with the school, her parents, and thus the law. I was scared ****less of going to school (my first year of engineering), and any means of interacting with her or her friends. But she continued to sit around me, continued to stare and this would continue onto the second semester.

I dropped out and the school wanted me back. They wanted to "make it work" for me. Got me out 1 of the 2 classes we had together. I was told she was hounding me. This chick again continued to sit behind me or make some means to be known if I didn't acknowledge her existence or avoided her. She eventually sat next to me and thus I reported this. They talked to her and she gave them the expression that she didn't want ANYTHING to do with me.

I continued to avoid her, this time, leaving the room entirely if she even entered. She continued to make a fuss in certain regards, or, sat behind me. Likewise, I was continuously being harassed by other friends stating I'm cruel, I'm a prick, *******, inconsiderate, and frankly: a problem (nothing invoked by me). So, I just gave up and left entirely.

Certain individuals started following me around, parking outside my house, messaging me on MSN, in the regards of "wanting to see me again", or they "miss me". I now have absolutely no friends except for a wonderful friend over in Italy (I'm in Canada) who is rarely online anymore because of her work schedule. Recently I started making friends or having old relations renewed (but again, work constraints or massive geological differences/time zones), and the only localized friend I have I....just....don't know anymore. I really don't want to be around him (heck, I'm typing this while we are on skype together; we'ved been good friends for the past 7+ years, and known each other since kindergarten and now he is going through more dumb rough times with a chick that left him). I've also finished my summer job (engineering lab technician), which I was told to be their most efficient (when compared to individuals that have been their for 5 years), very accurate in my analyses, and their best summer student ever. Even there I barely talked to anyone, only near the end, and regardless of the amount of "training" new individuals.

I have such massive social anxieties and I believe it is greatly linked to what has happened above. I'm going back to redo my first year and honestly can't wait, but now I'm fat, unkept, social anxieties through the roof, and I wouldn't be surprised that this chick is still there (I HOPE SHE ISN'T). I just started to see a councilor who basically told me what I said above was pointless. Let alone, I think I still like this chick.

Okay, so not sure I understand.

You like this chick and you used to be friends/classmates, and then it just got out of hand?

There was this guy in primary school who used to start things with me, and then I'd run after him, and it was usually great fun until it got out of hand - it wasn't exactly bullying, he mostly started it, but it was sometimes just fun running around too. Until it got out of hand.

So, not sure if maybe something like that happened with you two?

I'd definitely stay away from posting anything on Facebook..
Can you transfer to another school? Or is there mediation or something like that avilable?

We were classmates in high school and there is only 1 college available up here that offers a link to university courses. I was going to do 1 year up here and then transfer to the UoA. We had 2 courses that we shared together while I was taking Engineering.

I like this chick because not only was it the first chick to actually sit there and give the impression that she liked him (she used to stare at me in high school as well) but from admiring her I found out I had OCD. It not only gave me an explanation for most of the things that have happened in my life but admiring her took me around from MANY intrusive thoughts. She was the first break from this hell.

Doesn't sound like it. She has told me that I remind her of a long lost friend that she misses dearly. But that doesn't explain her behavior afterwards.

Oh, I haven't been on facebook for the past 6 months. I want nothing to do with this situation anymore. Regardless if I like her or not, I want to be able to focus on my schooling and not have this anxiety disorder get in the way whenever she decides to do her **** (If she is even there).

I have no medication that I can use. I've been on 6 different medications that have done nothing but made my life worse. I'm told that I have a very rare metabolism so they suggested taking needle injections to bypass the liver, but they don't offer those up here.

I am a VERY social person and I have (pure-O) OCD so that means i get horrifying intrusive thoughts. When my intrusive thoughts are bad it will force me to at times have severe social anxiety. In my humble opinion it all goes hand it hand.

Alright, so how do you function?

Okay, this explains it a bit, but still not quite.

Fixating on her helped you get rid of other intrusive thoughts, and you reminded her of a dear friend she missed? (Did that friend die or something? Did you ever find out what went on between them? It might sort of explain her behavior?
Maybe she was frustrated with you and her friend being too similar - or too different?)

And who did she like - the professor or the course?

Yeah, it's good you're not on FB anymore and decided to focus on your schooling - big props to you!!

Egh, stay away from meds anyway.. Have you tried any form of CBT/counselling yet?

PS It would be better if you didn't use specific details here, just in case..

I don't know too much about it, other then that he moved away.

i meant to say me. She was the first chick to start starring at me.

Thanks. xD

I'm in counselling now, have tried CBT, absolutely no success.

It doesn't matter really. The chick harassed me and there is proof of it.

Anyways, ya, I'm still not over the chick. I found out that she started dating one of my friends in engineering. Out of all the guys she picks on my friends. ._. You see what I mean? What a piece of **** of a person.
