How are you feeling?

It's not about lieing.
If you tell yourself you're depressed, you'll perpetuate that feeling over and over.
So many manipulate things by saying just the opposite.

It's basic psychology really, and I just wonder why more people here don't apply it.

That is lying to yourself if you say your are fine when you are not.

Personal experiences, I often use I am Fine when I am not and it causes great inner-frustration ... now. As I just buried a problem without a solution.

I don't know about that. I've always heard you should acknowledge you are feeling a certain way and try to understand why and do something about it. Not pretend it isn't there. Telling yourself over and over you feel great when you do not will not make you feel great.
 
I quit smoking last Tuesday, so it has been 7 full days of not smoking. I've quit before and the longest I have made it without relapsing is 2.5 months. I really hate smoking for how it holds so much control over smokers. The love/hate relationship has gotten me into a pissy mood. Alot of the people I know and are close to smoke all the time. I used to smoke with them and it was a great way to socialize with people and a way to feel part of a group. The health risks are getting to me though and I like to exercise (smoking makes this unpleasant) so everything is pointing towards ===> QUIT... but I can't stop thinking about smoking. Just needed to get that out, not going to let it get to me, because I am choosing so. No more smoking for social purposes and an anxiety release!

That's good! It's silly, but just take it one day at a time.


I feel pretty good. My therapist appointment went well. She says we are going to have a 'fun session' next Monday. Apparently we aren't going to talk about anything bad. :confused: The appointment is three hours after my appointment with the state appointed therapist for my disability claim. I told her I may die of a heart attack before then, so if I don't show, she'll know what happened.

Thanks, I guess I'm better now... anyway I'm afraid I'll remain alone.

I'm sure that there are a lot of sweet people out there, in the real world. I wonder where are they hiding XD

Hm... I don't know. Really, I don't feel anything. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure.
^ And the anxiety/depression hits. ::(: It's always like this. I usually go from feeling nothing, and then just crashing and feeling depressed, and then back to being numb again.

^ Thanks guys. I'm feeling a little better. Been trying to distract myself, get up and do something, instead of wallowing in it, which is never good.

Now off to.... find something else to do.

Anyone else just feel like there is nowhere at all they fit in?

I wans't so bad at school, as I had a few friends and people I'd hang around with or play football with, but since then just feel out of place all the time.

- Didn't feel right at university, because everyone else seemed to quickly form into groups and I was just on my own for the whole 4 years.

- Didn't feel right at work. Tried to make conversations and such, but always felt really forced. Didn't get invited to any of the group things they did really. Even if I was standing there when they were organising it.

- Don't even really feel right at home a lot of the time.

I've tried things like joining online communities, like I'm a member of forums for books I like and things like that, and a member of a "gaming clan". But again, even though it's been years, I don't really know anyone there at all. I'll say "hello" and might get a "hello" back on a good day, but that's it. They all get on very well and find it easy to chat to one another, but whenever I try and join it it seems forced and usually get ignored.

Even in a community of people with these similar social/shyness problems it's the same.

If you've experienced this..did you ever manage to find somewhere where you felt at home? Or are you still pretty much on the outside looking in?

Great! The last thing you should do is nothing (like I always do >.<). You're strong :)

I've been always an outsider everywhere I go, that's why I bring music always with me, it helps me distracting, but nothing else.

I'm sure that the place where I've fitted in the best is here. I joined other comunities before (for gamers, for young people, etc.) but nothing really worked.

I'm still looking for somewhere (if possible, offline) where I feel at home...
