How are you feeling?

What's wrong?

A lot of stuff getting me down, I guess. Family problems on top of my own. Been questioning why I've turned out the way I have, with these anxiety & depression issues. But it seems my mum would rather avoid talking about it, which isn't anything new, really. She's always changing the subject whenever I try talking about my problems.

Exhausted. My roommate kept me up almost all night. -.- Only managed 4 1/2 hrs. of sleep. Had to go to yoga early this morning, I've been studying for a test I completely forgot about for the last two hours (thank god it's tomorrow and not today though; still have another 2+ hours of studying to do), I still have other homework to do yet and I have to go to a guest speaker event later this evening that I really don't want to go to. Thankfully my crankiness/irritability is gone, I'm really just too tired to feel a thing.

I am confused, everyone I know has a facebook yet I have no desire to get one or go near that devil site lol. Kinda feel like an alien though as it seems to be just me that feels that way. Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange people, I'm the normal one. ;) :D haha.
Oh yeah, I know what you mean, it's the same for me :/

Yay for those who have no Facebook!!! :D

just have been feeling really self concious / socially awkward in the bus.. I was experiencing anxiety and I had tics (moving head constantly, eye twitching, clumsy acts, frightened eyes) They were laughing in front of my face... (some teenagers) I really feel stupid now.. x_X

Wish I was normal -_______- of whatever they call it...
Why were they laughing in your face? That seems really rude.

I'm an attention seeker now, but all day I've been thinking about walking onto a busy street, or climbing up onto a viaduct...or something... I can't stand feeling so disconnected from every person I pass. don't want to be so disconnected...and there's such a weight on my head, and I want to scream and shout, and run up to someone and never let go.

...disregard all that. but there's no therapy.

Well not in my face ,that would be kind of paranoid. But in front of my face.
I was typing really face, but yups. It's really rude.

I talked about it with my therapist and she said me to remember this phrase from her

''If I ever buy a jeans, and I'll wear it, and a guy says in the bus '' What an awful jeans, look her!'' it doesn't say anything personal about me.... Fact is that it is coming from the other person so it says something about the '' rude ass '' because he '' has no respect the way he makes comments, why should somebody say that to someone, or in front of somebody? it is mean''
''It's the personal taste, of someone who isn't really important, they don't care so why would we care''.

So it's also in my situation.

They are laughing, so they probably think it's funny.
It's their personal way of view, they think funny about people who are different so they are not caring and understanding. They don't give a clue about us. So why should we give a clue about them! They have no clue.

And this quote is from my girlfriend ''They don't know how to make contact, so they act this silly.

So.... what the F.... :cool: Thanks to my therapist I have the perfect phrase. Never thought about this on this perspective. lol. wonderful! go P. :D

I'm going to my dads company now... to interview about computers there for a project on school, I'm a little nervous.. haha! Will be fun though i think :)

Just new faces to see, but that is life. ;)

Well, maybe you should pull her aside to talk about it. If she tries to change the subject, then pull the subject back until she addresses it. If she refuses to, then confront her on why she refuses to see how much pain you're in. You're pretty much going to have to bulldoze those ideas into her head. Maybe take her to a therapy session with you so that you two can get some expert advice on how to deal with your feelings. Other than that, the only thing I can say is that you need to take your problems one at a time and, eventually, your "plate" will become empty. I hope that you feel better and if you need any advice, I or anyone else on here would be happy to help you.

I've tried that, it seems to just end with an argument. I've asked why my mum refuses to talk about my problems and she just ignore me. No response.

I've recently said I'd like to get counseling but my mum has been pretty resistant to the idea. Even if it's just me going to a therapy session on my own.

I'm applying for a couple of jobs, so I'm feeling a little stressed out. I haven't reached the pulling out of your own hair stage, but I'm at the nail biting stage right now.

Hope you will find the right medication that helps you :)
Also, you might think about getting a CBT program?
Or relaxation techniques so you can feel more peaceful in stressful situations and make your anxiety less.

Oh and this generation 50 % of the people are on medication.
Maybe not for anxiety, yet for so many other things.. Everybody has a cross.
So you are totally okay and not weird by taking meds.
It's even brave for wanting to feel better and fight !

Good luck

sore and cold...needing a massage and a hot tub right about now.

I'll be over in a few minutes, okay;)? Where do you need a massage at? I'll even prepare your hot tub for you, so just lay down and wait for me to take care of the rest:cool:.

But, seriously though, I hope that you feel better. To alleviate your coldness, try ingesting hot things and getting curled up in a blanket. As for feeling sore, a hot tub, like you said, should fix it, so force yourself up and run some hot water.

Just found out my ex boyfriend from two months ago has a new girlfriend, I feel kind of used. Guess he didn't care as much as I thought he did.
