This is a typical day for me

Ok, so this is my basic day:

Wake up around 9am-10am...as soon as im up, i start worrying about the day...like about who i will see, how it will be when i walk by people, what my friends are doing better than me, how i will handle seeing my friends in the house, what home work i forgot to do, and basically i just wonder about all the negative things i have do/that will happen, until my class starts at noon.

at class, i sit there, not paying attention at all, worrying about why i can't even take notes, because the girl next to me thinks im looking at her, and how i can't make eye contact with the teacher because im such a weirdo, and how i am just not deserving of even being in this classroom, because everyone else is smarter than me.

Then, finally, class ends, three hours later...i rush home to safety(or what i perceive safety), and i watch tv for a few hours. Then, i sit around, wasting time, until my best friend comes home. I am very comfortable around him, but basically him. We talk, i get very energetic, and just say stupid things, until i decide its a waste of time, and go up to bed. Then it all starts over again.

All the time, i look forward to the terrible weekend ahead, all the while hating life, dreading every single moment to come. I don't even know what is wrong with me. It is like, when my day is going well, it goes SOOO WELL, but when its bad, its SOOOO BAD. And, i can go from extreme to extreme in a matter of seconds. Also, i don't even know if i have anxiety, depression, or whatever it is, i feel like an alien, like no one else in the entire world deals with what i deal with.

Like, i put on this persona around people. It's so weird. Like, rather than showing or displaying my anxiety or fear around people, instead i look at people im scared of, and i feel like it in turn makes them scared of me. My fears are so counter-intuitive. For example, rather than a normal anxious person who looks down when scared, i look directly at the object im scared of, until they look away, or i look away. Its such a fighting mentality. But, if someone else looks away, i tell myself they are scared of me, and im a frightening behemoth of a person, who doesn't deserve to look at people and who makes people feel like complete dirt just by me looking at them. But, if i look at someone, and they look back, i feel like they see right through my fake confidence, and they know exactly how i feel, socially anxious, depressed, and all.

I don't know what to feel. I can't drink, because when i drink, im forced to be around be so many people which makes me depressed or anxious, idk what to call it, i feel such weird, unidentifiable feeling all the time. And, when i do drink, all i can think about is the deep seeded anxious feelings and negative beliefs about myself that i habitually stuff inside me when i am sober.

I know my life is NOT really this bad(like, as bad as i just described). But, i am very depressed right now, and this is what my mind wanted me to type. Sometimes i feel like i am not in control of anything between my ears, like its just someone else playing with a remote control, but then at other times, i feel like i can control other people into doing whatever it is i want. At the same time though, i feel as though if i just slow down, and even try to think rationally for a few seconds, i can make sense of things in the present, but then im like well, if i need to sloooooow down every single time i want to be rational, whats the point, i will never be able to do this all the time anyway, so whats the point of even trying to do it once in a while when im feeling super depressed. Ahh..., idk what to even do anymore, my brain is so confusing, and i constantly feel like im just hiding from myself, and i can only feel true feeling and emotions when i am not sober. I wish i could stop stuffing emotions down beneath and feel and experience and realize them all the time.

Also, idk why i'm mentioning this, but every time i look in the mirror, or just a reflection of me anywhere, i hate myself. It's weird, like i know i am good looking, and such, but whenever i see myself in a surface thats reflective, i say to myself, "wow, no wonder everyone hates you, you look like such a selfish douche bag who judges everyone else, and is so awkward, and who no one would EVER want to talk to or be around...you suck Tim!"

seriously, ANY time i see myself, some thought goes on in my head like this...what the hell, ME!?

^^ Dead24, its soooooo annoying. I feel like i would actually be smart if i could pay attention to the teacher once in a while, rather than on what others are thinking about me.

Anyway, that whole rant was basically because i was angry last night. I was angry, and i was feeling some emotions and thinking some things that i havn't felt in a while. For example, i have this belief of mine that is pretty deep rooted that tells me i don't actually have social anxiety. It tells me that it is all just a lie, and that i have something wrong with me that is unheard of, and is incurable.

This belief only comes out when i am down, depressed, drunk, or angry. But, whenever it comes out, i get very scared that it is true. I conclude that since i can't even identify what is really wrong with me, i will never get any better.

But also, the scary thing is that since i only experience this when i am in these certain depressed or extremely angry moods, i conclude to myself that i am stuffing an emotion deep down in my body, and it will just continue to ruin me all the time.

I think i am going to show this post to my therapist. I get so embarrassed though when i bring people stuff i have written on the forums, as i feel like it is more personal than anything i would ever say in a session. Truth is, it is not that personal, its just my anxiety telling me it is.

Everything you've described, minus the best friend part, describes me as well.

Hahaha, thats really funny, ive never seen that movie. But, i wouldn't mind that guys day, as long as i could talk like he could. When i have the confidence to have a conversation like he could, i won't care WHAT happens in my life, i will just be so happy i can talk.
