    yes I am. it is not how I would prefer to spend my time, and I don't want to dwell on bad things. When I went to therapy that one time before, the guy brought up things I wasn't even upset about and MADE me upset about them.


    Do you realize how foolish that sounds?

    You constantly gripe about stuff, yet you won't seek the help of a trained professional?

    Think of therapy as an investment in your (hopefully happier) future.

    I don't think "griping" is what therapy is for.

    I don't constantly gripe either. it's one of these things on here that people perpetuated that idea and know it's like the common knowledge or something, but it's not true. besides this whole place is basically about complaining.

    i think he means gripe as in you starting more than one thread on this matter. and yes, this place HAS BEEN about complaining and i WISH it would stop. What the devil happened to all the freakin fun that used to take place up in here?! jeeze!

  • I wish I could just go away somewhere, alone, and spend the whole (indeterminate length of) time exercising, exercising more, breathing fresh cool air, exercising more, eating raw vegetables, drinking gallons of water, and getting facials. and coming back as my old self.

    god I have to stop fantasizing about this because it just makes me depressed to crave it and not get it.

  • the feelings I have are much more than low self esteem. I'm ambivalent to myself really, if I had low self esteem, that wouldn't be the case. I know it *sounds* like just low self esteem, but it's not how I feel, I can't describe it. it's more physical feelings.

    as for therapy, I don't know how people make trips out for therapy once a week or two in the middle of business hours.

    In the nicest possible way, why don't you stop making excuses and just go and see a doctor. Just roll with it and see where it takes you because it's no fun being miserable, scared and misunderstood all the time. You can't just expect everyone to understand how you feel because everyone is different and thinks differently. Probably the trick is to poke fun at yourself and realise that no one is perfect. Then maybe you'll enjoy life a bit.

    -Oprah :o
  • Sweety, all of your threads as of late lead me to believe all you seek is attention. You can not handle people in person nor do you wish to deal with them, yet you start threads here bringing attention to yourself. Take a walk and do not return until you are done with this matter.

    If she's seeking attention, why are her threads like this 'as of late'?

    Seriously, go take a walk... come back when you learn some compassion. :)

    I don't know, what I am feeling doesn't seem to fit the description of clinical depression to me. and I don't have anything to be situationally depressed about.

    wait after I wrote that I'm like der of course I do.

    but I've been on an ssri for years already for pmdd, I just stopped taking it like this week. if I had clinical depression it would have helped it.
    It sounds EXACTLY like clinical depression. Your problems are not physical and if you keep making excuses as to why you can't go to therapy you'd best get used to feeling this way I'm afraid.

    You just stopped taking it this week? Give it a couple of weeks to get out of your system... and see a doctor.

    well, i just wondered what kind of 'consulting' you did. If you do analysis and research......how about you take on YOURSELF as a project and figure YOU out?! seriously. everyone can offer you their advice but if you dont apply it, nothing will change.
    I agree... it's like there's a thread a day about how gross you feel and yet you insist it's neither low self esteem NOR depression. The common advice that people give over and over again is to get therapy and you give excuses why you don't want to give therapy. So really, why do you ask for advice? You NEVER take it.

    The way you're going, it's pretty bad... if you don't tackle it now when you KNOW it's a problem... god knows how it will end up. You do seem nice and you deserve happiness as much as the rest of us so it's time to stop making excuses and at least try (and I don't mean one session)

    come on sen, we ALL need help in fairness ;) my help comes from the barman though as NYPJ1 likes to point out... and it's a fucking GREAT help :)

    No, it's definitely not insensitive saying it... cos people are good enough to reply to the posts and offer help... and it's frustrating when something is so obvious and yet the person won't do anything about it except post the exact same problems tomorrow :(

    I honestly do not know what has gotten into me in the past year. I am not the same person I used to be and I really don't like it!

    I'm going on this weird ski trip this weekend- my friend's (who lives in NY) boyfriend's family friends organize this stay at a ski resort with discounts on lift tickets and whatnot and they invite like 20 million random people. so me and my two other friends are going tomorrow night. So I'm just now lying in bed and I realize I'm crying- I don't want to go! First, I don't really like skiing and I'm not very good at it. I can't ski with my friends because I'm so bad at it, but I don't want to ski alone either. I originally signed up for the trip because I thought I might spend the days cross country skiing by myself, but right now it doesn't look like that is going to be an option for logistical reasons, so alpine skiing it is. Secondly, I don't want to socialize with all these people. I really, really, really don't. I just developed this fear of socializing when I moved back here last summer, I never really felt this way before. I am so scared! I don't want people to see me or talk to me. I just don't. it's uncomfortable. And right now the only thing I crave is exercise, and I've never really felt like downhill skiing is much of a workout at all. Three days without exercising is just going to make me worse and feel less like going to a bar to socialize with these strange people. All I know is, I am so nervous about everything-downhill skiing, socializing, fitting into my XL ski pants (I'm afraid to try them on. oh well if they are too small I guess I'll just have to not ski). I am crying. I just feel like I am going to be physically uncomfortable. It something I feel often (all the time now, actually) but I can't explain it to other people. My body is just uncomfortable to move in. or sit in. or stand in. or dress in. and the scabs all over my face are not only embarrassing, they are just uncomfortable.

    I never used to be like this, not wanting to do things :(. I guess I'd be more up for it there were more exercise involved. I wish I could cross country ski instead. but even that doesn't feel as good as going to the gym.

    oh-and I am also more nervous about skiing than I usually am because I have never skied with this much weight. I'm afraid that my center of gravity is going to be all off and I'll just turn into this rolly polly ball tumbling down the mountain to my death.

    You do know we all don't like the way we look right?

    ya know, i did my best to just shut up and not post in this thread, but.....................

    everyone is right, you sound depressed.

    im bi-polar, the thought of going to a shrink kicked my ass for years.
    now im in between jobs, and dont have insurance, so i cant go.
    im dealing with it on my own with the help of friends and family.
    i for one cant wait till i can go back so i can get put back on my 900mg a day of lithium.

    take it from me, making excuses for not going is only hurting you.

    and the whole "thats not how i want to spend my free time" is fucking sad.
    so i guess you would rather spend your free time feeling like shit about yourself?

    go to the fucking doctor, so you can start living your life instead of worrying about this shit.

    end of rant.

    i really hope things work out for you.
    Peace, Love.

    If you don't want to go, don't go. Just tell them you don't feel well, which sounds true to me.

    that's it right there-I just don't feel well. that's the whole thing. And it's the only way I can describe it! It's pretty bad when you're in the gym lifting, as I was this morning, and you just start crying. I've never just started crying in the middle of a work out before.

    I'm not looking for attention, I'm not even looking for advice. I just couldn't lie in bed and think about things anymore last night. this ski trip is just stressing me the hell out. my friend's comment about meeting single guys is making me stressed about my asexuality, I'm terrified of hurting myself, I don't like skiing but there is so much social pressure to do it...it's just bringing out bad things!

    oh I misread this post the first time. I have to go, I've already spent hundreds of dollars, and they know I don't have a real excuse, so they'll all get pissed at me.

    Bring your ipod and take off for long, healthy, fresh-air infused, introspective, self-empowering brisk walks in the mountains.

    Find your power...

    And if you can't... which you seem to be having a lot of trouble with... when you get home you really should look into therapy. It's not all day Saturday. A 10 am appt will allow you to be sitting in a coffee shop drinking a green tea by 11 am.

    I was crying on an elliptical machine a few weeks ago. I know the feeling. Take control of your life. If you are having trouble doing this, therapy can help you to prioritize what you need to do to begin to take control.

    this really upsets me...I don't want to get laid, I am not attracted to men and I am not interested in sex...these are the kind of comments that are stressing me out! I found a web site that said that asexuality is real sexual orientation! I don't know if it's me though because I didn't used to feel asexual and I don't know if you can suddenly switch sexual orientations, that would be something you're born with.

    plus my health STARTED this whole downhill trend when I could get laid anytime I wanted (I had a boyfriend). Having sex didn't do anything to make me feel better, it just makes me feel worse.

    so why would this stress you out? Fair enough, it might be annoying but you read way too much into everything everyone says to you and take it way too personally. Your friends try and do a good thing by trying to set you up and yet you think they're thoughtless for doing so. If REALLY you have confidence and high self esteem, why are you so bothered that other people wish to see you happy?

    GTD. your quality of life would improve 10-fold with professional help. It's sad that you can't see that. You posted that you have tried therapy and it made you feel worse... that's ok and perfectly normal. Stuff is weighing on you and you have NO IDEA how it's affecting you, it's buried so deeply. You can take control now or you can do nothing and risk a major breakdown in the future.

    well on the asexual website, it talks about how hard it is for asexuals to deal in a sex-centric society. it's true, it's hard to deal with people telling you that sex is the be-all-end-all of existence when you don't care about it, because then it's like, well if I don't care about the be-all-end-all of human existence, then why am I even alive? how can I relate to the rest of the world? if sex is the one thing that makes everyone happy, then how will I ever be happy?

    people need to be more aware that no everyone likes the same things they do.

    Exactly. GTD you seem to think you're the only person suffering from whatever this is... you don't know what it is and yet you insist you don't need therapy. You say it's physical but then say you cry for no reason and then you say it's not physical. You say you've high self esteem but then you say you're self conscious about your weight... can't you see any of this? You're constantly contradicting yourself

    Hey, I'm not trying to say otherwise. I told you I went off men for a while... but I could still see that, when people were trying to set me up, they were being nice and thinking they were doing a good thing. A lot of people SAY they're off men when they're not really so if your friends don't really believe you it's hardly anything to be insulted over.

  • Excellent advice that will be ignored.

    I hope it won't be ignored. do they allow you to walk around in private ski resort mountains? since I have to spend the whole two days skiing, I won't have time to do full-on hiking snowshoeing or xcountry skiing, so it would have to be just a wandering around thing.
