I wouldn't feel too bad about that, Aletheia. You're still a very good person on this forum and I, as well as others, have been able to see that.
How are you feeling?

I'm feeling content, but I'm also kinda feeling a bit lonely. :/

How come?
It's good that you're feeling content, but not good that you're lonely. Still no dates with the guys you've been in contact with?

Nope, not yet. That's not really the main reason why I feel kinda lonely right now, though. I just want someone to talk to, which I think will make me feel better. Pretty funny how I get excited when someone takes a moment to just talk to me.

I know how you feel. I know I'm not there in person, but you can PM me if you want someone to talk to.

Meh just one of those days where you leave the house thinking "this is going to be a good day" and then you come home feeling like a trainwreck.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Although it's probably not good that you snapped, it is likely good that you got everything out so she knows how you feel. Now you can move forward and start with a clean slate!
Yeah, I still think therapy would help, though. For myself, if nothing else. Still some things I need to come to terms with, but haven't.

Ah, I know what that's about. I haven't left the house all day today and I have no desire to.
What happened when you were out? I hope you can salvage the rest of the day.
No, you're always so kind.

I am kind of freaking out. I started a social anxiety disorder support group last February and the last couple of months quite a few people have joined... so far the group has about 35 people in it.
The thing is, I am beginning to feel uncomfortable because...I am beginning to feel that the group is becoming larger than I am capable of handling. I am getting all those old insecure thoughts of "what if its not what people want" or "what if it disappoints" "are people looking to me for answers?"
I mean...I kind of intended it just for people to find comfort in others...we dont actually "DO" anything..we just hang out...lol.
I am feeling responsible
Its good....but I may have to step down as organizer. Its the blind following the blind.

I think you're being a bit hard on yourself, really. You've been organising that for nearly a year now and that's a good feat. If you don't want to be the organiser anymore is there anyone that will step up?
Sorry you're having a bad day. *hugs* You're not stupid, either.Just having a pretty bad day along with the fact that I am such a stupid haha

I can understand this, because these are the very thoughts that plague me whenever I organize anything and are why I usually don't.
And I know you take your role seriously; at the meetup I attended you put a lot of effort into keeping things going and into making people feel included.
Is there a way for the role to be less onerous? My experience was that I was just happy you'd created the occasion. The group discussed how they'd like to see things develop, and settled very naturally on a new venue; I didn't sense any sort of reliance on you to determine what the group should be.
But if it is getting too much, perhaps at each meetup one person could volunteer to organize the next one.

^I understand that feeling, I bet they're feeling the same. But its what the group is about right, so all of you can increase your comfort zone and you've done great so far
Its okay that you're don't want to be the organiser anymore, maybe someone else can come forward?

I am exactly the same. I went to the garage and that's the furthest away from the house I've been today. I have the energy but no motivation. I feel hollow.
What's kept you inside for the day?
