How are you feeling?

[lilmutegirl]

I'm pretty anxious, because I'm supposed to have something delivered this morning (actually, it was supposed to be delivered Wed night, but they weren't able to, so we had to reschedule). They only have a half our left of the time frame they gave me, so they better hurry up or I may potentially be late for work. I'd be anxious about them coming anyway, but it's even worse to think they'll be late or not show at all--then I'll have to deal with that (again--Wed. night I was livid).
On the upside, I've gotten some stuff done this morning. I feel somewhat accomplished and productive.

Hi. I'm new... well ok, not NEW to the issues, but new HERE. lol. I woke up in a pretty good mood today. Had a good thunderstorm roll in at 10:30 last night, so its not as dry and gross in the air as it was.

Um... yeah... just hanging out at home today... fall quarter starts up in a week, and I am looking forward to it. The more I stay at home, the worse my issues are and the harder it is to go outside at all...

Yep.

First of all, welcome!
Second, have you tried going out for a walk? I live near the beach, and a nice evening walk, watching the waves alwayes soothes me

>.< My fiance says the saaaaame thing. I am such a bum... its like pulling teeth to get me to leave the apartment without a good reason...

My agoraphobia needs work, I need to walk more... I'll try

Why's that?

Oh no! what's wrong Graeme?

Not entirely sure to be honest... confidence issues, probably?

Everything seems rather pointless at the moment. Like it takes too much effort. Wondering why I should bother even trying to be social when that just ends up being akward and a total disaster. And my sister's suggestion that I should do something I have absolutely no interest just to socialise is conterproductive to me. I guess I've developed a very non-conformist, slacker approach to life over the years - not sure if that's good or bad?

Wow I can totally relate! I always try to convince myself to talk to others, but at the first sign of failure I simply shut down and tell myself that everyone thinks I am a weirdo, and should not even try..
About something that is uninteresting - I think you should consider giving it a try, so at the very least you will please your sister, and you can tell yourself that you did your best.
Love your picture!

Yeah, I understand. Socialising can be very hard. Although maybe the only way to get better at it is to keep trying. Do it only if you want to though.

Yeah, but going curling really doesn't apply to me, since I'm not into sports. And I feel I'm always having to please my family all the time - I never feel a sense that I'm going this for me, because I actually want to. Not because I've been forced into it, which just makes me a socially akward, stuttering wreck most of the time.

Love your picture!

Aw, thanks for the compliment!

 

[Graeme1988]

Yeah, just got to keep at it, I guess. I just don't like feeling as though I have to do something that suggested to me just for the sake of it - if that makes sense?

 

[Amitush123]

You do not like to be forced, but rather prefer to do something out of choice...of course, free will is very important

 

[Srijita52]

Yeah, it does make sense. If you feel like socialising is something you'd not like to do too much then don't. You don't have to do anything against your will, everyone has different preferences and there's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to be super social.

You're agoraphobic, but you have a fiancée. You must've done something right. (Also, welcome.)

I am tired like hell... And this all with not going to work, not having to get up early. How on earth am I going to cope at work, I know I am going to run into "not coping" "can´t go on" mode. In case any miracle doesn´t happen.. But well what can I do, I just try to do my best in every situation, the rest I can´t influence.. I wish I had a lot of energy, so that life wouldn´t have to be such a torture.

Well, sometimes we are tired because we are not doing anything..try going out for short walks, sport can do miracles

 

[Lea]

I am not doing anything? How do you know that? Not going to work doesn´t necessarily mean that I´m sitting in a room whole day staring at the wall. I cycle to town almost every day (or if not, then somewhere else), to town from here it it 8-10 km (one way). Then I do some other things too.. And have to bear all the frustration from parents, shouting, tensions, normal things in my life. But, the difference from going to work is definitely there of course, especially the lack of sleep..

Lea you'll be fine, just try not to focus on what bad might happen. Yeah I know it's easier said than done but a little encouragement can't hurt.

My apologies you seem to be very productive

 

[Gaucho]

i can't take it anymore, how is it possible to be such a waste of human life. its amazing. i don't deserve anything i have.

 

[Lea]

Haha thank you, no need for apologies. Who said I am being productive again, all I do brings nothing much, it´s mainly daily routines and even if I do something outside it, it is not seldom wrong or brings nothing spectacular.

We met online LOL

But all is well... I've come a LONG way in the past years. Once upon a time I would never leave my house unless a trusted friend drove me everywhere.
