I can relate to the avoiding social events thing too. This Sa gets pretty lonely. I wouldnt mind hearings some of the jokes in the Drew Carey book though!
for now i decided not to go to a therapist but like you said maybe the self help groups would help me. the one i found was in a hospital for mentally ill and i kinda did not wanna go there since i'm trying to appear normal lol... well maybe i will look for other places but i don't necessarily only wanna talk about my anxiety, i think i wanna do exposure therapy with someone who has SA aswell and someone who would be a friend at the same time, but it's not easy to find. hope all is well with u
yeaaa it is early, i slept for a few hours 11-3 am and now i'm right awake, i'm not doing too bad, i get 3 days off from work too hehe. today i might go with my parents for a little trip to the forest, they wanna go pick mushrooms, i don't know if too many people in North America eat wild mushrooms but in Europe it's really common. u just have to know which ones are good and which ones are poisonous... then later on i'm gonna see a movie :) i'm still not really working on my SA, kinda helping it's gonna disappear on its own
Hey spring, thanks for the blog comment. I hope I didn't offend when I was talking about getting off the "drugs". I do find them really helpful and know that I and a lot of others really need them, but I just hate the side effects sometimes, y'know? And I'd like to be healthy enough to not need them someday...
I actually don't have a curfew at all. Yay for me! I can stay out all night if I want... kinda weird, I think for my mom to say that. But I'm 27 and I guess they trust me... I've never been a partier or anything, and don't really hang out w/ the "wrong crowd" :P
just saying hello :0) hope ur doing good, i'm feeling sleepy but i have to get ready for work again booo, i was late for work last night, like 4 minutes haha but still it shows my motivation is getting much lower... have a good weekend!
YEAH, I HAD S.A. SO BAD THAT I COULD NOT LEAVE MY HOUSE, LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYES OR EVEN UTTER A WORD!!! I would stay in my room, sleep and cry all day long. I have improved a lot how about you???
hi john! good to hear from u :) i don't know if i'll be getting a job this summer. i got accepted into the program i had been trying for, and it requires that i take a course online this summer before the fall semester starts. i'm also applying for lots of scholarships (which requires more info/work than i thought)! i kind of work around my parents house, doing things that need to be done for a little extra money. i'm sure your job is secure, you're probably a huge asset to your company! hope you've had a wonderful weekend :D
Hey John!
I am doing okay - stuff is starting to slow down at work, but some temporary responsibilities have come up - vacations of other people and such.
I have been going to my "beach", by a dammed up river that formed a lake and a state park. I only have to drive 14mi to get there and it's like a mini vacation (and an inexpensive one) these days!
I have only used ONE vacation day so far this year! My next day off is my birthday.
How is it going with you? :) It's HOT up in Detroit isn't it? Except for rain today, it'll be that way down here! I hope you will still be able to enjoy it!
thanks for the congrats on my last blog :) it's only a matter of time before i actually start getting a paycheck for my work, instead of grades! how are things going your way?
Hello John! I'm doing great too, I finally feel like I'm capable of doing something (work) and it feels awesome and I got my first paycheck after a looooong time lol. Aww ur soo lucky to have puppies haha but you get all the mess that comes with all their love, I guess it evens out.
Ohhh a bike ride, I wanna start doing that too after I buy a bike cause mine was stolen. Hehe hope you weekend went great, mine just starts today, and I came home from my overnight shift not long ago and it's sleep time.
