How are you feeling?

Today I am feeling fat after too much meat consumption over the weekend. I am also feeling tired after 10 hours sleep. My skin is bad and I have an interview today! I bet I don't get the job haha.

Good luck, let us know when you get the job ::p:

And isn't it weird that you always feel tired after waking up?

Just a random thought.

Uh-oh, wrong thread :rolleyes:
 
work = no happiness allowed 6am-4:30pm M-F. not to mention hours before and after in anticipation.

I can relate to that.
It drains the life out of you doesn't it?
The worst part is, not everyone is in a position to be able to just leave that job and find another, so many of us are stuck in hell.::(:

I think it would be somewhat dangerous to feel as though you "belong" on a website for those suffering social anxiety.

I'm not sure anybody truly belongs here - because nobody is meant to have this problem, and nobody wants it forever, right?

I certainly don't want to be on this website forever as it would mean that social anxiety is still prominent in my life. I long for the day when I can put this horrible period behind me. The past month or so has felt very navy and orange, if you know what I mean...

But when I do leave, I hope to get the email addresses of the friends I have made first - to retain contact and track each others progress.

I think - when you go back to the first pages of the 'Picture' thread or even this thread, the regular usernames are all completely different to what they're like now. It implies that this site is very much one of transience - apart from the moderators, who do a great job, I think for most this website is just part of the recovery and not something to become dependent on. If I make any sense at all... but the point is, don't feel as though you don't belong here. This site is exactly what you want it to be. And you have made some great posts since you joined which prove that you have a purpose here :)

That's brilliant twiggle, I couldn't agree more. I posted some place today, I don't want to be here in ten years time. I'd be happy if I wasn't here in two years time - though as you said, keeping in contact with people would be lovely. This site is a great place to come and have a bit of a rage where people will listen and relate, but at the end of the day, for most people, using this site should be more than that - a place to be inspired to do their very best to move on from this part of their life. Even for the oldest users on this site, it's definitely never to late to change.

I hope you do get the job - keep believing. : )

Not a bit, if you're happy here then even when you overcome your own anxiety, you could stick around to offer your thoughts, advice, and video logs to others!
 
Thank you very much James :) And you are right, this is all about helping each other get through this :)

Zac - Of course its not wrong to feel like that! It shows that this site is making you feel better. But, whilst you may not leave the site - you will change your perceptions of it perhaps - i.e, whereas at first you may have come here for the support, now you come here for the social side as well :)

Ah, you're so wise! It's not fair, let me borrow some of your wisdom for a while
 
I feel angry and victory.
How i totally lost myself for some people in the past!
How people can make use of your weaknesses!
The ****ers....
But i have the feeling of victory that i won't let that easily happen again.
I just need to find a way to deal with the fact that i want to be nice to everyone.
 
A couple of weeks ago on the messenger, when I was particularly upset about something.
If you don't remember it shows you're more wise than you think because I bet you've helped out plenty of others as well :)

Oh I remember.

that was nothing, really. You're a mate, that's what mates do :)

A little late, but thanks for your support, guys. I really appreciate it.

Right now I'm feeling a little bit better. Haven't cried in like 20-30 minutes! That's a new record. Feel kinda numb, but I'd rather feel that than what I've felt for the last 24 hours. It's kinda weird, though. I feel a thousand times sadder over losing my 1 year old dog than I did when any of my grandparents died. Feel kinda bad about that, but whatever...
