What's Bothering You?

i wish i wasnt so bad at talking with people :/ i am absolutely horrible at trying to have a conversation and lately ive been feeling like i just want to isolate and not reach out to anyonr even though i know it will only make my socializing problem worse.. idk i guess i dont ask enough questions or present interesting topics, but i dont know what to say. maybe i shouldnt be hard on myself about it and just accept that i am not great at interacting with others
I feel the exact same. I feel like just hiding away and isolating, but I also know that its not going to help my socializing problem.

I'm kinda fine spending time by myself anyway as I've always been a bit reclusive, but I think it's the fact that it's expected of me to make friends and socialize that puts pressure on me to feel like I should spend time socializing.
 
Might just order that poster online then, I mean I get it's a bit odd/rare whatever but.. just keep it in store I live like half an hour from it 😂 lol
 
I had a really bad panic or nervous attack tonight. I think I may need to take some time off of even here (will be back before the next event or wait until after). I need to start prioritizing my mental health more.

I have to go grocery shopping early tomorrow but I really don’t want to go to bed on this bad note :/

As someone who's been in the same situation, ignore him and everything that has to do with him. Delete photos and stuff from devices, get rid of things you've gotten from him, and engage yourself in something that doesn't have to do with him. Also delete him on social medias/forums/whatever common stuff you had. Feel free to send me a PM if you want to talk further, this was just some basic advice that helped me at least :)
 
I feel a bit sick to my stomach from nerves, but I took a look even though I was not completely “ready” and I realize I may have overreacted. I just hope it isn’t too late; I still need time to pull myself together to respond in full. I’m such a mess and maybe a coward. Regardless, I still am worried since it doesn’t change that i made someone important to me hurt. I really wish there was a way for me to learn how to talk “normal” instead of everything coming out wrong. And I wish I could forget all the crap that I never asked my brain to dwell on and stress over for so long; and forget all the regrets I have that are paralyzing me from moving forward with my life. sorry anyone that saw my meltdown yesterday

It was probably an anxiety or panic attack, rather than a mental/nervous breakdown. You don't really have a mental/nervous breakdown in the space of one night, nor would you be able to post about it. I'm not having a go, I am so sorry you're upset and do hope you're ok, but a full on mental/nervous breakdown is a far more serious and long term thing that involves some serious psychiatric intervention.

I had one a few years ago. I attempted suicide several times in a short space of time and was twice found by total strangers in public by the rail tracks. To cut a long story short, I have been heavily medicated ever since. So I just get a bit anal about people using the term haha. But seriously, I hope you're ok and hope you didn't react with such anxiety over happenings on this forum? Might be a good idea to take a little break if it's affecting you like that.

Oh thanks for correcting me. I’ll edit my posts. I had no idea honestly or that anxiety/panic attacks were different. And no worries; I get the same way with the term OCD 😅.

It wasn’t anything to do with this site, but I got upset about some silly notification so yeah 😅. Thanks for the concern. Oh wow. I’m really sorry that you went through that much :(; I appreciate that you shared that with me. sorry doesn’t even cut it. I hope you’re managing better now. i’m really sorry if i upset you.

panic/anxiety attacks are very different from a nervous breakdown. while a panic attack is a brief period of losing control and feeling an overwhelming sense of panic (as the name implies), a nervous breakdown is characterized by dysfunction, or not being able to function properly, for days or weeks at a time. ive personally never had a nervous breakdown but ive come close to one a few times. it's scary to deal with. panic attacks are also scary but they usually only last 10-15 minutes. you likely had a panic attack, don't feel bad about being ignorant bc now you know the difference.

also yeah I hate when people use terms like OCD and ADHD to describe their quirkiness. like OCD is not a quirk, it's a condition that is debilitating in this kind of society and is nothing to joke about.



I've survived another day but I'm leaning closer to calling up my uncle and asking if I can go stay w them if I find a job down there. this house gives me nothing but negative vibes and bad memories, I'm tired of it. I want to start anew.

This and when people throw around ASD/Asperger randomly or be like "omg thats so aspie" or stuff.. just n0

Not at all, it was all years ago and life changed significantly since then, thank you for your words though xx And again, don't worry, it's like the OCD thing as you say. Panic attacks are no fun though and I am sorry you had to experience that x
 
i got my senior portraits back today and i look so ugly in them 😭 i’m so upset and i was just starting to feel good about myself again
 
My ear is bothering me again; my teeth aren’t thankfully or my jaw. Anxiety is still bothering me and am dealing with still a lot of emotions. A bit unhappy about a few things as well. Please no comments.

sorry for posting here again.

Tornado warning; i didn’t get one on my phone but my mom did ><.

My stomach is hurting from being upset :(.I am feeling slightly better in some ways but also drained and mentally exhausted.

I can't bring myself to tell my family that I'm getting a referral to a clinical psychologist. I kinda need to discuss it with my dad at least because I don't even know if my health insurance covers it 😅 I just know they'll ask why I'm getting a referral and I don't want to explain to them why. Not to mention it'll just make them paranoid. Oh well, I'm hoping something will come of the referral and then I can discuss with them the results of it.
 
My knees...my knees are in so much pain. It's become progressively worse over the past 3 days to the point where I can barely walk or go up stairs or bend them. They just hurt. I have an MRI on my right one Tuesday, but what am I supposed to do until then?
