Not looking forward to work. Keep procrastinating on the paperwork I need to do. Feeling anxious anxious all the time. Head constantly achey even when not a full-blown migraine. Feel like I may get one today, though, and I work for an hour more than I have been.
Realized though, that my depression could be a LOT worse. After finishing a memoir yesterday on the subject, I'm grateful I can at least still enjoy food, humor, sleep, etc. Some people can't. At least I'm not catatonic.... I hope I never get to that point. Sounds like pure living hell.

Just an ordinary computer mic or something 'stronger'?
What do you intend to use it for? If #2, have you researched the microphones yet & do you know what you're gonna buy? There are quite some options and some reviews online too.. (It's good to test too, if you can..) So is it absolutely essential that you buy it today or can it wait for a 'calmer' day when clerks would also have more time to explain different options to you? (Which might be good if not sure what you're buying, there are many different mics out there..)
I think it would be nice to see you mime too, in the videos, haha... (if your present mic broke down or something?) Some people use paper+writing to communicate or just add in computer graphics/words... or music as background...
It's better to get something good than just hurry and get something imo... (it also depends if you have a PC/Mac or laptop and what your soundcard is if you're buying something 'stronger'..)
oh gosh, 'treatise on microphones' lol...
If you absolutely know what you're gonna buy, then just go out there!! (before they close it) haha
Noo, I haven't eaten the chocolate yet!! It's on the table, keeping me company!!!
I have to do some e-mails to help organize a poetry reading for someone (which I don't really wanna do), so it's there to supervise me!!
Overjoyed! I went to the shop, got a microphone, my friend Rianne called to help me, which calmed me down, and i hot out, and everything's great! I didn't have a panic attack, I was actually happy to shop for once. And i response to Feathers, who wrote an extremely long post which my mind hasn't really had time to process yet, I've got a mic for my computer so i can skype with people
I have a crapload of dirty laundry to do. I hate going to the laundromat. I live in an tiny town and I usually end up in there alone with a creepy old dude that won't stop staring at me, with someone I went to high school with, or with the place totally packed.

Impatient, I've got to wait 72 minutes to watch the rest of 'Silence Of The Lambs'. Damn, I can't wait that long!

Then it sounds like it's time for you to start realising what a great person you are.
I've struggled with social anxiety most of my life and have overcome alot. Recent events, however, really knocked me back on my socialphobic butt.
Our daughter was adopted from Russia at age one, and has serious emotional problems. She's 11 now, and the tantrums (which could last for hours), phobias, extreme oppositional behavior, and school avoidance have advanced to hitting her mother, struggling with me, throwing and breaking things (like destroying a door with a screwdriver and breaking a full length mirror), and screaming at us all night long.
We've done family therapy with her since she was 5. This year she was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, and medication was prescribed. We've had her hospitalized three times this year, once inpatient and twice in "partial hospitalization" (daytime only). Last month we were finally able to get her into a great, long-term facility for kids, which is really helping.
Soon after being admitted she claimed,on a psychological assessment, that we struck her hard enough to leave bruises "very often". We have spanked her over the years, when we were at the end of our rope, and I have slapped her twice. It wasn't right, but it was definitely not often. We can think of three occasions in 10 years when it went too far and left a mark. Considering the extreme pressure we were under, I don't think we did too badly. We're only human.
Unfortunately, her therapist had to notify DHS. We were honest with the social worker and told her exactly what happened. She was sympathetic, but gave the impression that - under their guidelines - we could end up on the state child abuse registry. We're supposed to find out next week.
Obviously this would stress anybody out, but I know you'll appreciate what it means to someone with social phobia. I keep imagining a person with arachnaphobia having a government agency decide if he should be thrown into pit full of tarantulas.
I've had my meds. adjusted, and I'm proud to say I've managed some of the depression and anxiety with coping techniques. But every day will be a struggle until we get the verdict from DHS - maybe longer.
It helps to vent to you, because you know where I'm coming from. I'm grateful to anyone who persevered to the end of this, and I'd appreciate any support, suggestions, and encoucagement you might offer.

So very alone, and everybody keeps treating me like a little kid. I'm not a bloody 10 year old, I'm mature enough to make decisions in life. But obviously the rest of the world can't see that. How easily people forget how it felt when they were this age.
But most of all just sad

I know exactly how you feel mate.
On a related note, I find it hilarious how differently people act towards me when I have a beard and when I don't.

I've tried that too and I can say it's surprisingly true. I thought people could see something else apart from my appearance (at least some people I know), but I was, in most cases, wrong.
