Thought I'd say hi - glad to meet you all.

Not much to say about me - my SAs got a lot better over the past year, but there's plenty left to do. Thought I would join a forum and chat with you folks, maybe I can help you and maybe you can help me.

I've arranged to call a woman I met off a dating site tonight - I'm feeling panicky and I didn't realise I'm all out of propranalol too. I'm really nervous but I've got to call her. Stuff like this is still hard for me. So I figured I might join up now :)

Looking forward to posting - all the best :)

Thank you superario and Paahi :)

I've had to resort to cider lol - I was hoping I could do this sober but that wasn't going to work out too well. Haven't done this for a while. I feel a lot better now - thanks for wishing me luck.

Heh - I can never think of usernames so I named myself after a song by Ensiferum about drunken vikings :) Glad you like it

I'm not very creative with usernames, either. I usually just end up using the same one over and over again. :p

I use the same name for everything, but not because I can't come up with other names (although I probably can't) it's just that I like my username. It's my pen name if you will

The call?

So much fail. Oh dear god that was actually painful. So much fail I just wanted it to end to spare us both the embarassment. Oh my freaking God that was so, so bad.

She might call me back tomorrow. But that was wretched... I mean... Oh jeezus - it was unreal. :eek:

Okay - so my choices were a.) panic attack or b.) slurring drunk and I chose B. Too much B. The thing is - I can smile about it. Sh1t happens.

I'm glad to be a member of this site now - and thank you folks for making me feel so welcome :)

Viking metal FTW :D

Thanks for the kind welcome!

^don't worry mate. Does she know about the SA? And even people without SA can be really scared on the first phonecall, especially with someone they met on a dating site. Just relax, and think about how she's probably feeling nervous too

Thanks pebblesdundee - you seem like a nice guy and thank you for your kind words.

9 times out of 10 I can handle a call like this - this was the 10th time and I dissociated and was too drunk and this did not end well. My big SA problem is dissociation - I was like a zombie, slurring away lol :rolleyes:

She wasn't put off though - just got a text through saying she's alright - she must be the most understanding woman I've ever met :eek:

Last time I went to meet a girl I liked (and that's not very often) I was pretty panicky when she called to tell me if I wanted to see her I had <20 mins to be down town. Normally I need a few days to mentally prepare for something like that and normally I talk myself out of it entirely. I figured what the hell and went for it, heart pounding, had the shakes as I went out the door and wasn't able to calm down much but had a big grin on my face the whole way there. It was a rush, like being on a roller coaster when I was a kid and roller coasters haven't thrilled me in the slightest for a very long time now. I'll have to try that again some time, going full steam ahead while I'm freaking out! It was a great chance to practice keeping my behavior in check while scared ****less, a state I've done everything in my power to avoid for as long as I can remember. I think I did pretty well. That kind of fear isn't something I want but I'm usually pretty afraid of how fear will affect the way people perceive me and I was surprisingly sociable not just for being so afraid but compared to my normal self entirely.

Thanks very much for the warm welcome everybody - it's much appreciated as joing a forum is always nerve wracking. Thank you :)

Well I called her again this evening and we chatted for about an hour and a half - she seems quite shy herself. I'm glad of the company, living alone like I do. She did say we can chat again so it's all good so far.

All the best to you all, and I'm looking forward to chatting to you on the forum :)
