I had coasted for a while. Through the aid of supplements, vitamins, & adaptogens... Got probably too comfortable... Then, I had a really bad afternoon, when I tried to go rollerblading. I told myself I could take less than usual, as it was a day off... Then, I had quite a lot of trouble getting out of my car. Took even more effort just to get gas that day. I went home feeling defeated...
Googled SAD... wandered in here somehow. Made an account.

I was seeking answers and wondered if I was alone in this. Still lonely but at least I'm not alone.

Me too. Before SPW, I would talk to myself/the air in my room alone, but it was frustrating because there was nobody to relay any feedback. And I started imagining that there were entities/spirits in the room listening to me. After I joined SPW, I felt a sense of relief.

I am an entity...although on the Internet, nobody knows that. 😮

I stumbled upon this site actually when I was researching SA. That was how I came to join it.

Because from the moment I woke up in the morning my heart was beating 140bpm, I was terrified constantly. A 5 min walk to the shop took 2 days to plan and I physically could not leave my house somedays regardless of planning. I used to sit on the stairs in my coat all dressed to go out, bag on shoulder, keys in hand....and then I couldn't do it, I couldn't go.

I was desperate to talk to somebody who would understand. I googled, found spw.

To be able to vent and talk to others with the same problems. Maybe even to make some friends.
