How are you dealing with ur SA/SP and related issues, is it working?

[Darker Than Black]

well, one thing that always made me nervous is sometimes when people say something mean, or do something to embarrass me..etc, I would get sad, and my heart aches like I was about to cry. So, you can say I used to be VERY VERY sensitive, I used to cry at any movie that showed sad scenes, even at Naruto or BLEACH..LOL.

Then few years ago, I was like "Oh, Fk, crying is doing me no good, so what's the point." So since then I pretty much stopped crying when I'm alone by myself...I used to be such a cry baby and all sensitive, I would cry almost everyday after I've got back from school, or when I get a bad grade, or when somebody made fun of me...lol

I would literally hold back the tears when I was about to cry or anything like that, and beat myself..deep breathing, and tell myself everything was ok, and bite my teeth then self talk myself.

Did it do any good? well, now at least I don't start crying when I'm sad, and I don't gave a Sh** about what others may say or do..I do WTF I want to , and if u don't like it, u can go **** **** ****. Even if I want to get a little emotional, I can't anymore, its like I've lost my touch u know? lol

Did it help w/ my SA/SP...?? a little, when a convo goes bad..sometimes, not all, I just don't think about it *w/e, I have more important things to do* yeah...


so how bout u?

I have a plant that is working for me and doing quite well. I have been experiencing quite a large amount of anxiety recently as I have moved from a city of 60,000 to a city of 600,000. But, basically all I have been doing is exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, getting a regular amount of sleep, talking to healthy friends, and then writing on here or in my journal. Putting together all these pieces of pie has made things go very well for me. I'm over the initial hump of stress and everything else in life is going well, so I think that this formula is working quite effectively.

Adopting a puppy, if the animal shelter will approve me! Sometimes you just have to do something completely unrelated.

I take meds and soon to be starting CBT up again, and yes they work pretty damn good. There's still residual anxiety that nothing can touch but im working on it.
