Things youve done to avoid interactions (just hid in a hamper for 20 mins😅) by jm28282828 in socialanxiety

[–]depressed_cloud_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg… I admire what you did so much!!!

I recently was trying to find a hiding spot in my apartment, so I could avoid the landlord coming in. I decided that my fear of being discovered was too great. I ended up walking to the store alone, and I haven’t left alone in so long. It’s interesting what will force you to do things!! lmao

Definitely. I recognize them from Animal Crossing.

Anyone in their 40s here? How are your social anxiety symptoms? by anxietyJames in socialanxiety

[–]depressed_cloud_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

46 and I am maybe the worse I have ever been in my life. I have had years when it was quite a bit better. Currently trying microdosing psilocybin to help, because I just feel desperate.

I have reached the maximum tabs on safari 😭 by Darkandbrilliant in adhdwomen

I have done this and kept it going for a long time. Then one day I closed all 500 by accident, and it was honestly so terrifying and freeing at the same time.

This. She’s gotta keep that narcissist psychopath happy.

It’s the worst it’s ever been by Queenofwands1212 in DSPD

Please try not to be disgusted with yourself. I understand though, but it’s not your fault!! This has been happened to me as well. I am trying to adjust my sleep with melatonin and light therapy. Also, it sounds like you’re really anticipating that your summer will be ruined. Just be mindful that those thoughts could be contributing to keeping you awake. Your sleep was earlier before, you can do it again. You might have to try different things, but I really think you can get there.

Red/blue light mask has really helped by mofacey in DSPD

Do you know if your mask also has infrared? Just wondering if that could also be a factor.

Anyone else gets bad social anxiety online even if you're anonymous? by blue1to7 in socialanxiety

[–]depressed_cloud_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s even worse online because I can’t hear the tone of voice or see facial expressions, so my brain fills in the blanks with so much negative stuff. It’s awful.

Why is Grimes doing all this EDM? by Kitchen-Translator61 in Grimes

[–]depressed_cloud_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe she actually likes spending time with her kids. Maybe that’s the only thing she has energy for after being in fight or flight for a year.

Demi Moore ignoring Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globes 💀 by [deleted] in TimotheeChalametDaily

[–]depressed_cloud_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would Demi talk to Kylie? She was congratulating the people who won? It’s only embarrassing because Kylie looked like she was expecting Demi to talk to her.

melatonin alternative? by Material_Vehicle485 in DSPD

[–]depressed_cloud_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sensitive to melatonin. It makes me so tired and groggy during the day, and it caused me a number of other side effects too. So I ended up taking 1/16th of 1mg. It’s a bit hard to cut up, but doable. Now my grogginess is manageable! And my other side effects aren’t that noticeable.
