Hi everyone,
For past 2 months I have come to realize that I have SAD. I felt different from the world, like an outsider and since last June I have not even begun looking for another Job because of my fears with peer interaction. (Basically @hole employees and customers). Im a huge thinker, we all are, I mean thats how weve come to relize our anxieties and problems with ppl and the fear of being judged or making ourselves look like an ass.
Well Ive done a few things to help myself out and hopefully with more progress I can be free of my fears. Here are some things I have done and I must say they helped ease the pain at least 50%.
1st saw my doctor, he told me I had SAD, recommended Lexapro. And then helped me find a therapist.
Halted the lexapro, but what I did was Typed report of myself what has caused my SAD. Read it out loud to the therapist, Put it in an envelope addressed it to (whomever) and burned it. Symbolism is the best
Bought a whole lot of books cheap online dealing with SAD, Shyness, how to make small talk and communication skills, and self esteem I can list them if you wish.
Lexapro made me very tired so I supplimented it with St. Johns Wort 2 a day
Having gained 30lbs I have been running and exercising, increses the endorphines. Besides a better looking body cant hurt, it may take loads of stress off.
And have been eating alot less acidic food like meats and such. Instead with more vegetables and fruits more alkaline.
Try this as well breathing when you get nervous helps Take deep breath through nose for 1 part hold for 4 then relase for 2. (10 seconds breath, 40 seconds hold and 20 seconds release) 5 times every day.
I used to go to bed late at night but now 12-1 am wake up early and start up my day fresh.
Reading my books in the backyard with sunlight helps, you get a tan and you get a whole lot of good vitamins the sun has to offer. I dont use sunblock just sit out there for 2 hours or until you feel youve had enough.
Another thing that has really enhanced my SAD is that I lack making good small talk. (comes with the package of SAD 8O ) So read up on improving all your self worth and youll feel your striving at overcoming this.
Ive been doing this for a week now and feel fantastic, I probalby wont be working as a waiter or anything but I probably will feel a whole lot better, maybe you will too it cant hurt right?
If you have any input or ideas please feel free to share, Im doing everything in my power to overcome my SAD and would like to share why I probalby developed SAD.
