^ congrats! That's awesome. Would be cool if I could bring myself to do that. But maybe it wouldn't be. I already went to therapy for many years from a young boy to about 20 years old and nothing worked. I've been off meds for 6 years. I don't really want to go back to try to talk to someone when I didn't like what it did to me when I was younger. I feel better now than I did then. Or not better but at least I trick myself into thinking it's better now. Hmm. I don't know, but let us know how therapy turns out for you. I couldn't open up in front of them. It was always awkward, way too awkward and I couldn't say much. I had nothing to say.

i think when therapy's forced on someone, its hard to really make it work- the guy im thinking of seeing specifically mentions how being introverted and shy can affect someone in his information online- so i think that sounds promising to me- because i think especially with sa you need someone who understands that like leaving the house is stressful, being in a room with someone is stressful, talking to a receptionist, etc- so many things can cause us to panic- i just really need someone who understands that.
i just can't live like the way i am- the only other therapy i've had was when i was like around 6 i think when parents divorced- i didn't go for very long, but i didn't like it because i felt like it made a bigger deal out of things than they really were= and at that time, i didn't really think i had problems- that i had to make them up, if that makes sense. but i did get free candy, which was nice.

and for better or worse, you've hung in there- and if you've been without medication for 6 years, then it sounds like things are better- at least you're your own person- not being forced to be under a microscope, ya know?

I feel like crying. I am tired of making everyone around me feel completely uncomfortable. People think I am just a creepy weirdo that they need to avoid. I have no idea how to function in the world.

I just noticed I put this in the wrong thread... cant even get that ****ing right.

I like that I have traveled halfway around the world with only one friend of mine and was there for 2 and a half months. I had never thought I would be able to do something like that, but it was amazing. I'm proud that I've been successful in my college career so far and that I'm going to become an RN. I'm proud of the things I've accomplished in my 21 years of life.

Hey ShyKiwi! It's alright... why do people think you're a "creepy weirdo?" I'll bet that you think that yourself and that assume that others share your same opinion. You may message me if you'd like 🙂 I'd love to help, even if it is just a little nudge in the right direction...

I have 2 feet and a heartbeat and a world of experiences waiting to happen if and when I wish, I need nothing else.

I am a fabulous cook, everyone tells me so, and so today I KNOW I am!

I'm an expert at Italian, English, and American cuisine, and decided to try my hand at Japanese. Homemade chicken teriyaki with sticky rice, and I did it!!! Tastes just like the Happy Teriyaki up the road I constantly spend too much money at! Yay me!

Well today was quite good for me, in a class at my new course, we were put into groups and had to talk which made me pretty damn scared. Nobody in the group spoke, so I decided it would be a good chance to initiate conversation for the first time, so I did and in the end was able to get everybody talking! Oh and they were asking me questions about the work which I answered, that made me feel pretty smart too lol
