im an old member/mod who left the site for a few months and now im back =]
names Mitzy, nice to meet ya
“furniture n stuff? i hope that never happens to me, i didnt know that even could happen.
:O”
I never knew it could happen either. I don’t know if it’s happened to anyone besides me before lol Has to have though, people have been around too long for there to be any original thoughts/fears/actions anymore.
Have you told your doctor that you have social anxiety with agoraphobia? Sounds like the welbutrin isn’t cutting it…
I was about to say I saw the map and thought that you might be around the same area. Listen I hope your doing ok I kinda rattled a bit about the Wellbutrin stuff and all I hope you didn’t think I was being judgemental and all. I just hope you do better and let me know if I can be of help you seem like a good person.
lol yeah i hide too! except my brothers bad, he doesnt get it and thinks its pathetic so he invites my friends over! i call back and say ‘umm…sorry you cant come over’ or when someone knocks on the door i run away im like ‘tell them im not here!’
its probably the stupidest thing, but i cant help it.
furniture n stuff? i hope that never happens to me, i didnt know that even could happen.
:O
Yeah. I don’t “do” people. lol
My husband even warns all his friends that they have to tread carefully around me because I scare easy. Most of them have never seen me. Those that have haven’t seen the real me. I hide upstairs when he brings people over. :P
It got so bad at one point that I even felt like inanimate objects were better than me and looking down on me, like cups and furniture. :/ It was a WEIRD awful feeling, and I hope to never repeat it.
I have to try to get some sleep now, but I’ll be on tomorrow if you want to chat some more :) I’d love to.
In the meantime, I leave you with this horrifying pair of shoes I StumbleUponed today. They’re real, made by some maniac designer guy. Scroll down the page just a tad to see them: http://www.barthess.nl/
I swear I’ll have nightmares about them tonight! LOL
Yes I’ve used Welbutrin, but it was an add on to undo the lack of libido from the other anxiety/depression meds.
I hear ya about not leaving your house, I’ve struggled with Agoraphobia and the worst time I didn’t step out of my house (not even on to the porch) for 6 months.
Lexapro cured me best of anything. It was a wonder drug for me. My husband thought I was aggressive on it, but truth be told I think I just felt so good about it that I stopped taking his shit.
It made me brave, not afraid of people or doing things. It also took away my OCD which I totally didn’t expect. It made it so that for the first time I noticed things about the world I’d never noticed before - pretty things, little things that were always there and I just never saw them. All the good things in the world that “normal” people see every day. I don’t see them anymroe because I’m not on Lexapro, but at least I know they’re there, hidden from me, but there.
Plus I really watch my anxiety symptoms and recognize them for what they are, I tell myself a lot that the physical feelings of panic are false. Mis-wired signals. You know, that fight-or-flight response?
I’ll answer your question here because my kids come on this site from time to time.
I have been on meds for anxiety and some of them, especially Lexapro, worked well. I went off all meds though - $800 a month (for all my meds combined) and my husband didn’t like how they changed me.
Now I take a more natural route. ;)
Sorry, I didn’t see the shout until I shouted mine. I aren’t really sure about the itunes stuff, because I don’t use an ipod.
Well, when you have used the program and converted them into mp3s haven’t you? Can’t you just transfer them. I think the best thing for you to do is make a post on it.
LMAO. OK, obviously I am not the only one that liked your hair. In answer to your question, it is b/c I don’t think I could pull it off as well as you. Maybe salt and pepper, though. That I could handle.
Hi,
it’s just your nice face attracted me, I saw your your picture and your hair color, Ohh, the black is more beautiful, Should I tell her, No,, O.o
She doesn’t know me, she will feel that I am crazy.. then some thing run in my head software and told me.. tell her..Really? should I?
Yes,Just tell her… and then I told you.
I am Abdullah..
You are welcomed …
This story is execlusive for you…
Hahaha
You are welcomed anytime.
I think you have excellent taste simply because you mentioned guns ‘n’ roses and the clash.
Though half the bands you mentioned i’ve never heard of… i don’t really like really heavy stuff I prefer stuff with a more melodic edge.
Anyways, in regards to the anxiety the best way to help it is to force yourself into situations you’re not comfortable in.
Try and go to places where small groups of people will be gathering (including people you don’t know)and engauge just one person you’re not familiar with in conversation… it doesn’t have to be in-depth, just small talk at the least.
Take a friend for moral support if you feel you need to.
and to wrap up this rather long essay… just remember that you won’t get shot if you talk… you can kinda think anxiety away with rational thought.
And finally… as everyone agrees, you’re hair is awesome.
I don’t think I could pull it off. My hair’s black, so I’d have to dye it and dye it and dye it. Technically, all I’ve wanted was blue highlights, but maybe someday when I’m old and grey, I can totally pull it off. I’ll be like a bad-ass Dr. Drew.
