In the past I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and more specifically social anxiety disorder.
It was so bad I couldn't even look people in the eye and I would start shaking whenever I feel like I am looked at, I would run out of classrooms at university because of anxiety attacks.
I can't remember what I was on back at the time.

I have now started a new course ( which basically guranatees a job ) and it's back. It's more under control because I am more mature and have learned to breathe, try to calm myself and distract myself but it still doesn't let me function as a human being. ( + )

I am too poor to afford therapy but my cousin works as a nurse. I have access to: paroxetine, citalopram, sertraline, venlafaxine, regabalin, tradozone and alprazolam.

( + ) I'm currently anticipating social situations and taking 0.50 of xanax ahead with like half or 3 quarters of an hour but this will not last me long because I'm developing resilience to the drug ( I used to take 0.25 ).

I exercise using the bodyweight fitness app whenever I can. I do not drink coffee, alcohol or energy drinks. I used to drink tea but at some point I realised black tea unsettles me and I kind of stopped.

My concerns are anhedonia and gaining weight because this happened last time.
I plan on informing myself for a few weeks first and I am seeking help.
If you can and want please share this post to communities which you think might me knowledgeable.

Maybe sushiroll can try to prepare by doing small controlled exposures with a professional or a trusted friend/family? Exposing yourself to the stress in a controlled manner will help you to associate a fear response to it less, and if they’re very positive may replace it with better feelings?

I used to be afraid to go out all the time because I was afraid people would hate and try to hurt me or something. What helped me recover was taking a walk to a nearby park and just siting there with people around for 5 or 10 minutes not thinking about anything (to avoid letting anxious thoughts start) and just watching the trees, closing my eyes and enjoying the sounds, etc. It can also help to find interest groups IRL like DnD, computer enthusiasts, etc. Being in a group of people with common interests feels less intimidating especially when they want you to be there. I also go to the gym at somewhat busy times and force myself to talk with people, that’s helped too.

I’m not sure since I haven’t done it personally, but I’ve heard that social videogames, imageboards like sushigirl, and voice chat can also help a lot. Maybe we should all make a proximity vc minecraft server and vibe together?


You’re not alone in this. I believe you’ll get out of that glass isolation! Remember that, and God bless you abundantly!

You can't help feeling what you feel, if you're happy with a man so be it. But to me it sounds like you went for men as a coping mechanism and not out of really wanting to, so maybe you should look into that.
Just remember that surrogacy is the exploitation of poor women and thinking that you should be able to rent a woman's body for 9+ months is extremely selfish and immoral.

Stable and long lasting! Ones that let me melt into them. I mostly just seem to remember the smell and firmness of the hugs when I've done it with my male friends. but it all depends on the situation. When cuddling it'd probably be loose and relaxed.

>am i wrong for feeling this way?
There isn't a wrong way to feel but there are wrong ways to act. We should strive to have balance in life and that means finding the sweet spot of not too much and not too little of anything. If you're only dating guys then that's a bad thing. Find the balance between both genders and you will benefit from both without being overwhelmed by their downsides. If you are fleeing from women (or men for that matter), you are closing yourself off from happy experiences and hurting yourself without good reason. Loving your boyfriend partly because he's not a woman isn't a healthy mindset to have. As for kids, there's no way a male can give you that. Its one of the disadvantages of our sex.

>What do you think someone like me should do where due to being older and not the best health I became less androgynous and more "rugged" looking when I don't like how I look now?
You can't stop aging sushi roll. You can slow it down and take better care of your health and dress a little more to your liking, but you are going to loose those androgynous looks eventually. I guess you can adjust your style and presentation to feel better about yourself?

> You can't stop aging sushi roll.
I can try in futility though. I mean some people manage to look pretty young for a long time. I was really more talking about overall vibes though. I don't want to be seen as intimidating or creepy looking. It doesn't help when I am in public I wonder if when someone especially a girl looks my general direction I wonder if she is thinking something bad about me.

I don't feel great about myself so perhaps. I've kind of already had that problem of not knowing how to dress since it's difficult to find that that overlap between something I like and look good on me and others like and properly represent an image of me to others. Plus finances.

A week late, but I still wanted to post something here anyway.

Since the last post I made in this thread, it feels like my life is gearing up for major changes. Due to a large sum of debt being lifted from me, I have way more financial flexibility than I've ever had. For the first time, major purchases like home and transportation don't seem like a pipe dream. Even stuff like expensive hobby items are well within reach. It's a nice feeling, but I hope not to take this for granted.

In addition, my mental health has taken a turn for the better as well. I feel much more in sync with myself, more understanding, more forgiving. I'm learning more about myself, rather than judging and comparing to what I "should" be. This is also a nice feeling.

I didn't draw as much as I hoped to, but I'm willing to be patient here.

In all, I feel more hopeful and positive.

Made it another year. Am I better off for it? Eh, maybe. I don't feel much older, though maybe that's because most of my coworkers are older than me.

The other night I dreamt that I sucked big boobies.

 No.20504

>>20503
Ah, the booby sucking dream! People can misinterpret their emotional state on similar physical contexts, ex.: You feel flushed going out on a date, which you think is due to attraction, but going home you become queasy so that really you discover being flushed was due to sickness. To this extent, what you might consider an inherently salacious dream was not the cause of itself; but in actual fact it was the needing to urinate. You had a boner while you were dreaming, and for men the urgent need to pee can sometimes correspond with a hard-on. What can be said is that it says nothing about your sexuality or luckiness; what those boobs were filled with was urine, so you’d also find yourself festering in wet sheets if one happened to drip or pop.

I was dreaming of so many things like being in a beautiful city (but there were no parks??!) with beautiful architecture, but it was prone to floods. My dad had to drive through the flood. Another dream, I was nekkid, got some clothes, and eventually went into an elevator where it went out of control and flew through several buildings. I eventually got back to the city to find out that I was in debt and needed to go to court.

Wow, such good premonitions in my life. Surely, my life is going hunky dory.

I had this horrific dream where I was a diplomat of a space station country in low earth orbit and I was sent as an ambassador to Gensokoyo and asked to do a press conference but begun stuttering and couldn't think of what to say beyond ranting about Yankee imperialism, the evils of Chang'e's illegal occupation of the lunar surface, and space program technical cooperation. Then for some reason, its revealed I am actually trapped and have no way to go back to the station and can only radio my family when its overhead, which due to the station's orbit is like every 3 days. Eventually I begin loosing my mind and having visions of the Moon and delusions that everynight a hidden group of men keep rearranging the world and moving my stuff around when I sleep.

I dreamed I bought an intercom. It was small and heavy with an extendable antenna. When I tried it out I received some police conversation and answered "alright man, but first I have to finish this beer". Then the police came to the house I was at, so me and my friends started to throw furniture out the window.

my optimism about the future has gone the same way as my brain has the past few days: circling the drain and no longer functional. I am struggling with my newfound revelation that I am not a people person even though I really want to be. I am tired and worn out from a lot of sources in my life, namely work and social gatherings. I have a tendency to overthink even the most mundane of social situations, and believe the worst. I can't help it though but its ruining me and I notice in a lot of social situations I am getting more frustrated than happy. I really do want to make new friends and build a network of people I can count on when I feel lonely or indesirable but I don't think I'll manage it anytime soon. I wish I could just do my best in the areas I want to do my best in too. I have had a massive writer's block creatively and its weighing on me as well. Everything just seems to be falling apart and its my fault.

The loss of structure and increasing atomization of post-modernity plays a role in feelings of meaningless. But its also because secular liberal humanism is unsatisfactory for a lot of people. It doesn't answer many of the questions we have. It seems to create more anxiety than comfort not to mention the ecological disaster its created. Nevertheless, its the dominant belief system globally, having pushed aside or crushed anything that challenges it. I'm not sure what you mean by hardness though or how that can be a solution to the meaningless issue.

>>20508
True. I guess what I want to push back against is the idea that religion is just objectively meaningless bullshit and so we can play around with it the way artists play around with paint. I don't mean to say secular art is inherently meaningless or that religions are somehow more meaningful. But I do think Buddhist miniature painters and Muslim calligraphers have a very different idea about what they are doing to the regular art school performance artist. e.g. In the art world, there seems to be an idea that art is supposed to be individualistic, artist centered, liberal, and not tied to religion. I'm not super knowledgable about it but that's the impression I get. I think religion and art are deeply connected, but old religious traditions had a different idea of art than the kind institutionalized by galleries, art critics, and art schools today.
