I can relate to that, Srijita. It's hard to step out of our comfort zones.

It sure is, I wish I tried to step out of my comfort zone more often.

Me too. It can be sad to think about the missed opportunities.

I read it all and I'm glad the Nyquil is working, but please don't get addicted to it because that won't be good in the long run. I'm sure you're well aware of that, though.

Fearing the unknown.

The unknown can be scary. Any reason you're feeling this way?

Nothing particular, just thinking too much again I guess.
How are you Mikey?

I understand that. All I ever do is think and it's always negative. Please feel free to talk to me about these thoughts if you want to get them out.

I'm okay. Not great, not terrible. I'll take it.

Utterly alone in this world. Fearing that I will be one of those men living on their own that are more likely to have serious mental illness or die young. I want to live positively, I want to feel good about myself, I want to change but sometimes I don't have the energy.

You seem to be doing so well, always trying to seem upbeat and stuff. I guess sometimes we have these low days to counter the highs. Keep your head up, my friend, and keep running!

You should feel good about yourself - you have a good attitude, you are wise, kind to people and have interesting thoughts. Not to mention you can run like the wind, and have many (by the sounds of it) achievements under your belt. Not easy feats.

You have a better attitude than me, and that is your strength. Besides as long as you keep coming to SPW you will never be completely alone.

Nyquil really works wonders. I just couldn't shake the sad/angry feeling, and wasn't sure if I'd be able to sleep peacefully. I haven't had Nyquil in a long time, so I took a dose of it to calm me (it also helps that it cleared up some of my allergy symptoms a little too).

I'm feeling worlds better. It's not only sedating, but for some really weird reason it gives a slightly euphoric feeling. And while technically anything can be addictive, it doesn't have any especially addictive ingredients in it, so no fear of that, haha. It does have acetaminophen though, so have to be careful because of your liver.

Ahhh, some peace. I really need to get on some kind of tranquilizer. I think most of my problems - from SA to BDD - stem from just being constantly on edge, anxious, nerves tight. I don't know WHY. It's absolutely awful. But it feel so nice to have a break from it once in a while...

Edit: The main ingredient in Nyquil is the antihistamine doxylamine succinate, and this is what Wikipedia has to say about it: "Doxylamine is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistamines and has anti-allergy power superior to almost every other antihistamine on the market, with the exception of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It is also the most effective over-the-counter sedative available in the United States [2] and is more sedating than some prescription hypnotics. One study found that doxylamine succinate was more effective than the barbiturate phenobarbital for use as a sedative."

Nyquil is intended for colds, but it does work for allergies too! That explains that for me hehe. Also the most effective over-the-counter sedative in the US, even more sedating than some prescription hypnotics. WOW. That explains the extreme calm and euphoria I'm feeling. Man, I wish I could just take Nyquil every day to soothe my anxiety. Too bad.

I know probably no one is going to read all that, but I couldn't stop myself from posting it. Really interesting.

Yeah it is, thanks for posting it. The effects you described seem to me similar to Tramadol which I ocassionaly take. But it´s an opiate and I don´t want to misuse it, so I don´t take it everyday, only when I have pain or feel really really badly. I am afraid if I took it everyday I would get addicted

. But the feeling is so much different from how I feel normally.. so much relief, nothing bothers you or you can cope with that. Why only humans can´t feel like this naturally :

:.God should have designed us better.

Thanks Mikey and Kiakaha, appreciate your words more than you can realise.

I've come from some dark places and I really fear going back there at times.

You're welcome. You've progressed a lot and you should be very proud of yourself.

Happy.. I think. An internet friend called me this morning to wake me up. He told me last night that he would call me in the morning but I didn't think he was serious so I didn't give it much thought really xD He sounded very happy tho which made it easier for me to get out of ze bed. I really hate talking on the phone but he was very easy to talk to. yeay.

That's great. He seems like a very good friend.

I don't know what happiness is anymore. I really feel there isn't anything left to fight for in my life, because I am too weak. I don't even have the strength to write to some of the people I would talk to. I feel I just want to belong to somewhere where they don't think I'm crazy, where they think I'm an average Joe at least...

I'm sorry Daniel, I know how it feels. I don't think you're crazy. If you ever want to talk I'm here.

Much like yesterday, only slightly more angry.

I hate myself, sometimes. :

: You know you're depressed as f*** when something you love doesn't even raise a smile. In my case, that would be comedy.

I'm sorry you're feeling such way Graeme. I don't know what to say except for hang in there. I hope all of it passes once you get some help.

Aye, but - truth be told - I don't know when I'll get help. :

: I'm still waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
