with all people I don't know.

I'm so torn because I never do anything anymore, but I never do anything for a reason- I don't like people seeing me.

and drinking beer is exactly the opposite of what I need right now.

    I'm really afraid of being out now though. I basically run back and forth to work, as covered as possible, try not to make eye contact with anyone, and then dive back in my house. I know that's not good. but I feel like even the process of getting dressed to go out is make me have an anxiety attack. I'm already starting to freak out about it. I already started crying last night when I got off the phone with her.

    When I've been in situations like this, the best thing for me to do was actually force myself to go out.

    Why dont you like people seeing you?Thats a sad way to feel.You should go,you never know who you will meet,theres probably someone else in the crowd you will be with who is worried about meeting other people and what will be thought of them.You dont need to drink,just get out there and if its really bad you can leave but you will never know unless you go.

    What a surprise....I agree with J LO...:)

    Are you taking anything for your anxiety?
    Don't let it cripple you. There are plenty of non addictive things you can take.

    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    because I have become utterly disgusting. I might scare people.

    I had this thought, but the damage will already have been done.

    well I don't know if I have like, clinical anxiety.
    I have to go to the doctor soon because my medication (for something else but would help with anxiety too) has been making me nauseous so I can't take it but I can't not take it either. unfortunately the doctor can't see me until march 26.

    Oh man,come on life is better than that.But can understand all the anxieties that convince us we cant/aren't worthy of this life or getting out there.
    I can make myself sick at times freaking out about going out to socialise,but I have told some of my greatest friends about these worries and they kinda encourage and support me when out and I have had a good time.
    Please go.Its another day of having these feeling intrench you further or a new day of changing a mind set.

    I disagree, I saw your pictures in one of those pictures thread and I was pleasently surprised, based on how you describe yourself.

    You are cute :o

    What is there to think about?

    no really...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    aahh, you sound like me a couple years ago! i had gained a few pounds and i actually convinced myself that i didn't "deserve" to go out until i had gotten back into shape. what a waste of energy beating myself up like that! thats why i hate to see you do that to yourself, GreenTea! please just try and go out. if it sucks, you can go home. if you ever need someone to vent to or whatever, feel free to PM me.

    amen to that....I love pub crawls.....get all kinds of banged up.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
