I feel the need to share how I feel right at this moment.
I haven't been on this website in a few months now, and it's strange returning.
For many reasons I don't feel so well.
My cat died on Monday, and I've been extremely depressed about this.
He was 12 years old and he was my entire life. I haven't been coping well at all.
I have unpleasant physical sensations which are very uncomfortable, I weep continously and I cannot eat because of a lack of apetite and because I vomit everything I consume due to the crying.
I also feel alot more self-conscience than per usual. When I last posted here, I mentioned about my 'Britney Spears incident', so people call it. My hair is spikey now but I look like a male with my face structure and I've gained almost 10 kgs in two months. Thank-you medication (sarcasm).
I have been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder. I am content with the diagnosis because now I can understand myself much more than in the past. It feels as if my entire life has been explained to me within a few months.
Something I must admit is how well my therapy has been for me.
My social anxiety has lessened alot, and I have learnt alot and along side my medication I feel as if I can overcome this anxiety and move on with my life.
The biggest lesson I was taught was why alot of anxiety sufferers do not recover. It's because they are afraid to face their fears in which is compulsory for recovery.
I was told the statement, 'feel the fear and do it anyway', and I have been fulfilling this, slowly but surely and I have made many victories which I never thought would be possible for me to succeed in.
I have also been instructed to fill out a thought diary which I find very helpful for me.
Sometime in the near future I may share with the users of this site the steps to this particular thought diary and to see if it helps, and I could also share what I learn from my therapy in hope it will be of help to someone else.

And, yeah, there's something wrong with that horse.
