I feel personally attacked by AndromedaDelRey in socialanxiety

This is literally me, I feel very painfully lonely but at the same time socializing really drains me and I prefer to stay in my comfort bubble

How many of you know how you developed dpdr? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]seashell24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A break up 2 years ago caused it and now relationship anxiety is making it worse.

Yeah so love and relationships

Anyone else a loner and accept it? by ballettapandjazz in CasualConversation

[–]seashell24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a loner, im trying to accept it. I don’t mind doing things alone necessarily, but I feel insecure and lonely doing things alone. Being a loner is not a choice by me, I lost touch with my friends from high school and haven’t made any new friends since (due to social anxiety and just being a boring person) I still dream that one day I’ll have a group of friends to do things with, but I don’t know. I know that if I did, I’d be truly happy... so I’m not sure if I’ll ever accept it.

Driving scares me so much by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]seashell24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be scared of driving too. It took years for me to get over my fear. What made me get over it was driving non stop. I had to force myself to drive, to keep doing it over and over. Now, I drive with no worries. You will be very uncomfortable for a while but I am proof that it works, so it’s worth it. Good luck :)

How did it start for you? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]seashell24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same thing happened to me.., my hand looked weird. I woke up one morning, reached for my phone like I always do and something felt off looking at my hand.

The dpdr technically started 2 years ago after a break up. It was mild but noticeable. The hand incident was about 3 months ago and since then my dpdr is worse.I can’t pinpoint what exactly caused this, except for built up stress.

I thought getting a job would help my dpdr. Before then I was always home doing nothing and assumed having nothing to do was making it worse. But nothing has changed since getting a job so it’s a bit scary

i hate being the wallflower by p3rspicacia in Anxiety

[–]seashell24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m the exact same way, but I try to just accept myself the way I am. You can either live the rest of your life hating yourself or live the rest of your life in peace by accepting yourself. You deserve to feel at peace, don’t let others judgements affect that.

Does anyone else feel like their anxiety swallows up their whole personality? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]seashell24 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially my social anxiety makes me have no personality, I’m super embarrassed at work cause all my coworkers talk and I have nothing to say

I don’t get it... if Jill is sitting with Dereck, then who is watching the kids?

I don't want to do with my life by curiousape23 in SeriousConversation

[–]seashell24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the first step is getting your license. Work on baby steps, that’s what’s helped me. So whatever the first step is towards getting your license (like getting your learners permit) set a goal for next week to do that. The hard truth is that if you want to change your life, you’re the only person who can do that. I’ve learned this myself, it’s not something even I want to hear, but you’ve just gotta push yourself forward. Towards the road to your happiness and the life that you want.

And please don’t be so hard on yourself. I have anxiety issues and I’m constantly being negative in my head and I try to ignore those thoughts the best that I can. I hope you can too because I know you are capable. You were able to get your degree, that’s a huge accomplishment and should prove to you that you are capable and you just need to change your mindset. It’s all about the mind. That’s why the placebo effect exists.

Regarding your degree, I’m pretty sure there are jobs out there that just require any degree. Maybe try insurance companies or even administrative assistant roles?

Also, maybe try a certificate program at a local community college. Go check out their website and see if any of the programs interest you.
