My only friend (Online friend) told me that after her breakdown I was the first person she really considered to be her friend, that I've helped her through so much and that even though she's now making friends through her therapy group, she always wants to be there for me and still considers me as her best friend. :D

Also, she's getting a tatoo, to remind her of the fact that she has people that care about her and see her as worthwhile. She's having a star (Based on my online name) to represent the fact that I was her first friend after her breakdown. :D

That made me cry. It was nice to cry because I was so touched instead of crying because I'm miserable.

DMV

Went to the DMV this morning and renewed my driver's license in under 15 minutes plus I got a "Safe Driver" rating so I was able to skip the road sign test.

Here are the lyrics of DMV by Primus, I always thought the line "call it pointless" was "got an appointment", and I did make an appointment online which is probably what saved me from DMV hell. (However my picture looks like I was caught in the headlights, as usual.)

DMV by Primus

I've been to hell. I spell it...I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean
Stood there and I've waited and choked back the urge to scream
And if I had my druthers I'd screw a chimpanzee-call it pointless

When I need relief I spell it THC
Perhpas you may know vaguely what I mean
I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory
As I slowly inflict upon myself a full lobotomy-call it pointless

Barbecues, tea kettles, gobs of axle grease
There comes a time for every man to sail the seas of cheese
Now, life's a bowl of bagel dogs, but there are unpleasantries
Cold toilet seats, dentist chairs and trips to DMV-call it pointless

I've been to hell. I spell it...I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean
I've stood in line and waited near an hour and fifteen
And if I had my druthers I'd screw that chimpanzee-call it pointless

Its useless to avoid the problem or issue, the only solution is to embrace the issue, and take initiatives to bravely overcome the issue, I believe it would be a great journey to perfect our soul and to appreciated life better!
I will visit a local market and cook lovely dinner! Happiness is not from others, is from within..... :D

I went to a bar tonight and was feeling better than normal and I had two prolonged eye contacts (plus a smile) and another chick starting talking to me while I was ordering a drink. My positive mood must have rubbed off!?!?!

I've been stuck in a rut for a few months feeling depressed and not enjoying anything. But I've been feeling a little more positive recently, and yesterday I got my student loan so I spent loads on really nice food and cooked a good meal from scratch (one of my new year resolutions is to become a good cook and eat healthily). Then before I went to bed I did a bit of drawing - a hobby I used to love but I have fallen back on loads in the last year or two because it stopped being fun. And I enjoyed it.

Not big stuff, and not related to anxiety, but it's nice to get some enjoyment out of things after not for so long so it's positive in my mind :)

I'm feeling much more positive than I have done for ages. Thanks to my realisation that I should focus on others and not myself. I'm not feeling down anymore, I'm not lost in self-pity, I've actually restarted my exercise program and I feel mentally stronger than ever. A whole positive vibe is upon me. :D

Yes I still have huge problems that need to be overcome, but changing my attitude is the first step right? Well, my attitude has swung round completely today - I was miserable and angry, depressed: Wanting to scream and be totally alone this morning. I was scared that my online friends would suddenly abandon me, that they didn't really care, they were just pretending for some unknown reason. That there was no hope. Now I'm feeling happy, and energised. :D It doesn't matter if my online friends care about me or not. I care about them. As a human that's what's important. Realising my own emotions and being able to attatch them to other people regardles of what I get in return. You don't love someone if you only care because of what they can give you in return. It's love if you still care without them showing love or care towards you...

Sorry for getting slightly philosophical lol. :lol:

Yes, much more positive indeed. :mrgreen:

Oh and this is my 100th post lol, I'm no longer a newbie hehe. :lol:

Yesterday I had an interview with a family who want to bring their baby to my home daycare. It went great! I wasn't my usual quiet awkward self, I chatted comfortably for 20 minutes.
It helped that they were very open and friendly. But even still I started a few conversations myself, I think I sounded friendly and normal, not weird how I usually feel.

My success story:
As part of my personal plan to overcome my poor body image and SA I forced myself to go for a nude jog through campus yesterday. Quite invigorating, let me tell you!! I recommend getting a half chub going before you set out, as well as wearing a ski mask for disguse and for warmth especially here in Michigan winter. My buns still sting from all the snow angels I made.
