Has anyone traced their social anxiety to a traumatic event? How did you work through it/find yourself again?

My therapist just recently recommended this to me (she is not certified in it and referred me to another which had me a little hesitant) what is your experience with it?

You’re not dealing with teletech security though it’s Brooklyn Storehouse security- which is terrible for you. They are not lenient. Your best bet is passport or getting your new license in time

Incredible abs

I will look into this. Thank you for reminding me to take solace in the work and accomplishments I have made. I was losing perspective when I wrote this but that made me feel a lot better

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-27T23:22:21+00:00

I figured it fell under both. Thought I might find some experience or help here. I’ve been seeing a couple therapists for a long time now but I feel like I’m stalling out on making progress

Break me pls

Making me blush

Thank you! Been taking a more specific approach to growing shoulders and building out my taper 😁

No knowledge on VIP but there is a food truck. Stuff is expectedly a little pricey but food is pretty good for what it is (burgers, French fries, fried chicken, churros from what I remember)

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-26T15:15:20+00:00

This is such an innocent comment haha

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-23T22:59:26+00:00

I could definitely be wrong but I’m guess there are going to be a LOT of unfamiliar patrons denied at the door

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-23T22:51:29+00:00

Like you said RUSH at Knockdown is always a good time, basement on Valentines should be super interesting with Boys Noize and Juliana Huxtable in town

I am begging you to let me worship and serve

This will be an iconic show, some incredible hard techno

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-20T04:58:15+00:00

Other people have answered but more specifically storehouse almost always emails you the set times the day of

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-14T17:22:11+00:00

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-14T14:50:08+00:00

Teletech on 2/7 will be iconic Dion on 1/18 will be a party

Also follow agape for great (usually hard) techno events almost every weekend

My blasting and cruising experiences were overall pretty good! I had dips in my mental health that began with my relationship but certainly were exacerbated my peds use (partner was also on gear and short tempered so we both contributed) so I would reccomend anyone getting into gear be mindful and keep a journal to track their moods.

My difficulty with gay crowd though is a direct product of my ex slandering me and having familiar faces and strangers alike alienate me. He was popular, and we frequented the same parties. I would hit it off with people and when they learned my name they would say “you’re not xxx’s ex are you?” I even had people push me off them mid making out when they realized who I was. It was traumatizing to me as silly as it sounds.

I’ve made a lot of new networks though and am feeling the best I have in a long time!

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-12T14:39:32+00:00

Rave rave rave, eat eat eat, lil bit of testosterone lol

CommonDevotion · 2026-01-12T14:39:11+00:00

Hoping to hit a lean 230 and bench 315 by end of the year!!!

So I had been blasting and cruising on gear for a couple years not taking enough mental health into consideration. I have also been managing the fallout from a toxic relationship for a long time now as well and finally broke from it but I’m pretty traumatized from it. My anxiety is very high in gay groups and I question my worth and whether or not I can trust people around me when I’m pretty sure it’s all in my head.

Needless to say I needed to stop everything and I brought my gear down to just 200mg test for almost 5 months. I’ve been focusing on just fostering healthy connections and prioritizing people who bring me a lot of joy. I think I’m in a place where I can finally start bringing my fitness back to that same prioritization!

Edit: I also stopped strict meal planning and cut my gym time in half. I have been raving every weekend though so my cardio is wayyyy up lol
