How are you feeling?

My workmates dont like me all that much. They think I am weird and unfriendly because I am so quiet and shy.

I feel uncomfortable in environments where everyone knows each other and you have no idea what's going on because your not in the know. I find it hard to speak up - I can be very socially awkward in the right sort of context..... usually a work context.

It is bringing me down. :'-( I dread going there

I am leaving there - but I have found another job to go to. I am just scared that it is going to happen again. I have a couple more weeks to go at the current place before I leave for the next one.

That's good news Kia, all the best in your new job.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Like I genuinely don't care anymore. Seriously... I'm not kidding

My family doesn't take me seriously. But then, being the only male sibling, that's nothing new. My oldest sister is an immature, domineering bitch - who seems to take it personally when I don't have the time to reply to emails or texts. F**kin' grow up! The world doesn't suddenly stop or end for that matter just because you've not received a freakin' text or email from someone. Or has social networking got us so addicted to that - it's likely going through f***in' drug withdrawal?!

Can't stand up for myself. Can't say "No". Got to do everything everybody tells me. Got to have others make decisions for me, since I'm to indecisive. Must agree with everything suggested to me or I'm an ungrateful, selfish c*** if I do otherwise, apparently. Can't do what I want to do, no, no! Can't have that now, can we? Got to do what doesn't make me happy to out the house more, according to my oldest sister. Which is a retarded - sorry! - way of overcoming social anxiety. Counterproductive, anyone?

Oh, and I'm also the go-to-guy for anything relate to the computer, too. Since certain members of my family are to lazy to do stuff on their own (because "they don't know how" Yeah, right! Yet, the fact they can turn the f***in' laptop on is a miracle in and of itself)

I could go on, but I think I'll end my rant here.

Like I'm falling into a depression.

Came off my SSNRI's roughly two months ago.. my mood stability was a-ok, however my anxiety got worse and is manifesting.. particularly physically.. ive developed sweating in my hands and feet mostly which ive NEVER experienced! im getting alot more facial flushing

asked dr for inderal (beta blocker) for uni speeches... didnt work.. helped heart beat but i was sweating and my face was on fire/had dry mouth

after going off medication i found i would constantly eat (not so much from hunger) and now im losing complete motivation in all aspects, i lack energy and honestly the only thing that gets me out of bed is my dog, and assessments for uni because i cant not do them

thats just a bit of it.

Eh, a little down. Today's my friend's birthday today. Actually I don't even know if I should consider her a friend anymore. I don't talk to her, at all. I haven't seen her in person in over 2 years and we haven't had a full conversation since then either. The last time I ever heard from her was back in April when she wished me Happy Birthday. Even then I asked her how she was and whatnot and I still get the same one - two sentence answers. I don't think she even cares about me anymore and I'm pretty sure it's obvious.

Just makes me sad is all. Childhood best friend, we did everything together (and I do mean everything), even when I moved away and we were teenagers we still talked a lot and now that we're older it's like I don't know her anymore. It just sucks I haven't exactly found that person again yet, that best friend who is glued to you and you're glued to them. Or maybe I have and I just don't know it.

Woke up this morning with tears in my eyes which I can't explain. Don't remember dreaming about anything. Maybe I'm just a little groggy.

Other than that I feel fine.

I'm very anxious. My air conditioner isn't working properly in my house. I need to call my landlord, and must do it today, because my son told my ex's mom about it, and her dad is my landlord. I shouldn't be so nervous, but I am.
My dryer is also broken, and I plan on replacing it, but need to figure out what type of dryer I need. Since I've never bought an appliance, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I planned on ordering it today so it can hopefully be installed this week, so I'll need to have somebody come by and tell me what to do. Plus, the dryer I think I want is on sale (almost 50% off) and I want to take advantage of this while I can.

I understand Phoenixx. Its exactly same with me and my childhood best friend. Although we still talk, we're just not that close anymore. I don't know, maybe our lives somehow drifted apart.

Maybe taking you off the medication altogether was not a good thing, and rather it would've been best to have a gradual cut-down? I'm not an expert on this stuff, but to experience what you're going through now must not be pleasant, or normal. Perhaps have another talk to your doctor and see what they can do for you.

Either way, I'm sorry you're having a tough time here. Stay strong.

I know exactly what you're talking about. My best childhood friend and I don't speak too much anymore. He has a very different life to me, and it's really sad. Last time I saw him was in May for his birthday.

Maybe you can tell her that her absence makes you sad and you're keen to catch up again. If she's still going to give you two sentence answers, then maybe it's best to just let that friendship die, as hard as that's going to be. I know you're going to miss her a lot if that happens, but there's no excuse for you to be strung along by her, because that's not fair on you at all.
