Do you write them down? I find it can helpConsumed with a dozen thoughts and can't focus on a single one.
OK so Im normally not this bad but I really feel the need to vent badly. There is no punching bag about so I'll write instead.
This morning I summoned up the courage to tell someone I know (no one knows other than my wife) that I have SA and they laughed. They are normally very supportive so I dont know if I'm just taking the laughter out of context. I guessed the context of the laugh was "so that's what they call it ... thats funny cause everyone gets it, does it make you feel better knowing it has a name?" It made me feel like a fool. Anyway, here is what I wrote...
When people laugh are they laughing at me?
Why can't they see the way I feel?
The way my heart sinks, bearing its heavy load on my lungs
I can't breathe.
My mind swimming then drowning within itself.
No worries, I can hold back the panic, I wont make a fool of myself.
I'll just crawl back under my rock.
Is what I feel real? Is it my imagination?
Who the f++k can I trust if I cant trust myself?
F++k you all... Im better off by myself.
Then I dont need to worry about this sh*t anymore.
grrrreat...
Butterflies in my stomach because I plan to do more today. I'm eventually returning to school (I dropped out when I was 16 years old, partially because of social anxiety) so I'll be preparing for this in the coming weeks. It has been 7 years since I've even been in a classroom, but this is a way out.
u dropped out? well good luck on returning back to school![]()
