If I were a tree, I'd have no reason to love a human.

I'm having crazy mood swings today. This is nothing new, and the occasional rush of euphoria is nice. But I'm feeling very stressed. I have been wanting to find more ways to get active in my community and volunteer more, but my social anxiety keeps butting in. I actually have mild panic attacks when I try to do it sometimes. I know it's a real condition and I shouldn't beat myself up about it, but I have so much in my life and I've been so lucky that I feel awful for not doing more to make things better for other people.
I'm also having social media woes. I really like using Facebook, and most of my interactions there are very positive. (I set a rule a while ago of only discussing anything substantial or controversial with my own FB friends, because they are known quantities. Virtual conversations with strangers can turn ugly fast.) But I still am not sure it's healthy. I find myself getting stressed about conversations and wanting to keep checking in -- of course, FB is designed to be addictive. But I know I would miss it a lot if I tried to give it up. It's one of my few real outlets. And someone I know well went off on me the other day, completely unnecessarily, and I can't get it out of my head.

Don't torture yourself Peter, surely you're doing eveything you can (sometimes what we want doesn't match what we can), keep working on your SA and eventually you'll be able to do more. Buildings are made from the base, stop focusing on the roof when the base is crumbling. First things first, take care of yourself and then help others.
Why don't you set up certain hours to check Facebook, would be hard at first but eventually you'll get used to it and won't be so obsessed with it.

Okay, so......
Yesterday I met the roommate of some friend of mine, we've had a game of chess, at first it seemed to be a stalemate, which eventually led to a checkmate. He was so pissed, that he wanted to punch me in the head. Then I threatened to call the bobbies on him : "Mate, do you really want to end up as an inmate with some nutter cellmate?". And then I realized that friend was in fact me, and I was playing against my own soulmate. My bad side had just taken over my good side, the prison was my brain and the bobbies were the shrinks.
I think I am starting to become crazy.

Well, this post almost drove me crazy too, because i read "boobies" instead of "bobbies" and i was like: Why?
I thought "boobies" meant "tits" so i've been googling different meanings to that word and literally searched for the expression "Call boobies on someone" at first i thought it would be something like "relax your tits" or maybe it's a threat and he's going to hit him with his tits" (tho u certainly don't look fat enough to be able to do that xD)
BUT then i reached the part where you say
and since i'm a piece of shit, i read again "boobies" and i was like:
But then, on my 24th attempt i finially realized it was: Bobbies. And tho i didn't know that word either, i googled it and i guessed that's the way you say "police", and everything came back to normal...more or less
Sorry for all this, hope you're feeling better Jungle!

I got the motivation to do things, but none of the energy to physically follow through. Haven’t had a decent night sleep for the few days. My mother says she been exactly the same lately. :sad: But then, she’s probably thinking the same thing as me...
I wonder if my mum has that same feeling of despair at the prospect of Christmas this year, like I do? :question: Cuz last year was... unpleasant to put it nicely. But then I’ve never quite figured out how exactly you engage in conversation with folk who tend to be overly aggressive. :idontknow:
Nearly a year on from our lives going down the pan, and things still have yet to change or get back to some sense of normalcy

It's night, and i've got nothing to do, as usual. So i might go to bed early so i'm not bored. I'll have classical music playing on the radio, at low volume, same as for every night. The highlight of today was having my weekly (long, sit-down) shower.
I'll listen to this youtube playlist i made for when i'm bored, some of it anyway, & eat my dinner from a can, before going to bed.

I've learnt to appreciate different types of music, classical among them.
It can be simply amazing.

Thank you (-= , it isn't that bad really, I just felt in a bit a of a "poetic" mood at that moment. The only thing stressing me out lately is my internship, the fact that I have to be productive before the deadlines. But most importantly, the presentation I'll have to make in front of a jury at the end of it.
Sorry to hear, I hope it's nothing serious.
Hehe, I just like calling them the bobbies or the old bill even though I am not in England, I just find it funny.
That damn cat is going to give me retina cancer or epilepsy one day Xd

Not finding much to be happy or positive about in my life lately. Which is understandable, I mean mine and my mother’s lives both turned shitty around this time last year. And the fact I’ve coped somewhat better than her and the rest of family says a lot... and not just about me, either.
I’m still waiting to hear back from my local housing association regarding an accessible flat or bungalow. Not heard anything since I got placed quite high up on their priority list. I’m kinda worried that I’ll not get a place due to my current living situation. :question: :idontknow:
I still regret not applying earlier. Realistically I should’ve planned ahead and put my name down for a house while I was recovering from my operation, back in 2016. I think that year might’ve been the peak of anything good ever happening in my life.
At least I was happy during much of it. :sad:
