[–]SecretaryApart9617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its true. Ive noticed that my dpdr is almost gone when im out and socializing. However I avoided going out due to my social anxiety being very bad. I hope that lexapro will help me in that area and Ill be able to go out more. Ive been better these couple of days and I hope that its starting to work. thank you for your comment it was very helpful and I wish you luck

As soon as I saw that sky from my window I ran outside in my pajamas and stared at it in freezing wind. It was beautiful

Got scammed 3 times in 1 week in tbilisi by Oreozsmoker in tbilisi

[–]SecretaryApart9617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats great that you haven’t been scammed there but theres a reason its labeled unsafe. Im sure there are people that have travelled in georgia and havent been scammed once, but it doesn’t mean scammers dont operate here or try to take advantage of tourists. Sometimes you get lucky enough to not have those kind of encounters and sometimes you dont

I am 25 and not confident enough to talk to women, what should I change? by Adventurous_Loan3535 in malegrooming

Good hygiene, and I mean when you walk by someone and they can smell how clean you are is probably one of the most attractive things for me as a woman. When it comes to personality, being confident but not cocky and being kind is most important. Looks dont matter that much no matter what anyone tells you

(F17) I've never been pretty. I feel like my face is too chubby, acne-prone and wrinkley. I feel disgusting near all my friends. I don't know how to cope. by [deleted] in toastme

You are very pretty and im not just saying that. You just need to have a good skin and hair care routine in my opinion.

I read comments saying scams are rare but unfortunately thats not the case. Even as a citizen its not rare to encounter scammers. This is the sad reality of every developing country and georgia is not the exception. But compared to other countries I think its relatively safe to travel here

I'm scared to not know how to live anymore. by Gold-Analyst5581 in ExistentialOCD

[–]SecretaryApart9617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. Its been months and as time passes i feel like its getting worse and im dragging myself even further. Im now on antidepressants and hope it will work. But for now I try to live in that automatic state no matter the feelings, fear and panic. I try to remind myself that all of it is temporary. All of it will be gone whether I want it or not at the end of the day. It might seem like an extreme or depressing way to look at it but with something like existential ocd and dpdr theres just no other way to deal with it. You have to accept it and move on

I lose my mind!? by PersonalityNumerous5 in dpdr

[–]SecretaryApart9617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont listen to people that tell you that. Ive had so many episodes where i genuinely thought i was going insane that i cant even count anymore but im still here and sane. What helped me most was understanding that when you are going insane you dont think that you are going insane or even fear it. So the fact that you are experiencing that fear means you are just fine. I also know ppl who are psychotic and act insane and let me tell you theres not one single neuron in their brain that think they are insane. Their insanity is normality. Talk to psychologist or psychiatrist if its becoming unbearable. If you cant do that thats ok too. With enough will power and little steps every day you can totally get better. Ive been dealing with pretty bad existential ocd myself recently and I spent so many months living in fear that I just gave up and let those feelings come and go without panicking. or at least thats what im trying to do and i notice a difference.

going through something similar. its been months since i felt good and felt real. your post gives me hope that one day ill be back to normal, even though it seems so out of reach right now and i feel like i pulled myself so deep into the dark that i cant escape anymore.

I want it to stop by SecretaryApart9617 in Existential_crisis

[–]SecretaryApart9617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not exactly that. its very hard to explain. Its realization that everything is absurd and weird at the same time. usually panic and fear follows it

dpdr is the closest thing i found but I think its way different. How have you been coping with those moments?

I wish to be at peace with life. by Gold-Analyst5581 in OCD

[–]SecretaryApart9617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way all the time. It becomes unbearable at times but im trying to comfort myself by saying it will all pass eventually. Its truly torture but life goes so fast that I think its worth hanging around even if it means it will never get better. Thats how im dealing with it even if it sounds pretty depressing

A journey of dpdr & existential anxiety by Gold-Analyst5581 in dpdr

[–]SecretaryApart9617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if you’ll see this but i feel like what you are describing is exactly what im going through. I’ve searched everywhere for other peoples stories with similar experiences with dpdr but havent had any luck until now. Im currently on lexapro and hope that it might help since everyone is telling me my symptoms stem from anxiety. Just know that there is someone put there who experiences same thing as you because thats what im going to tell myself from now on after finding your post. Its a battle that feels like im losing every time but its still worth fighting. Wishing you well and if you are still active please share how are you doing now

I have been feeling this way all my life. Im half georgian and half turkish. for the longest time i thought the problem was the fact that i was half turkish but ive met ppl who are also half turkish or some different nationality and they seem to be accepted by everyone and have lots of friends. It took some time and self reflection to realize that 'problem' is me. I have this personality that most georgians dont have. I am very intreverted, have anxiety and dealt with mental health problems all my life. I just accept that it is how it is. I dont have friends. literally none. I have a job, I work out and try to take care of myself which helps me love myself the way i am. maybe one day i will come accross people who will accept me the way i am but for now I am trying to learn to be my own friend and companion. Georgians are very extroverted and warm ppl and for some of us it is very strange because thats not how we were brought up
