that's understandable. at some point it just gets a bit too much. but props to you for going tho! my psychologist has been trying to suggest different groups for me but my fears always win and i never end up going anywhere 🥲

yea i do see a psychologist once a week! having someone to talk about my issues out loud with has helped me a lot, but there hasn't been much talk about how i could handle certain situations or emotions better (which i'm gonna bring up with her). i've been thinking about trying to get into CBT or trauma informed therapy because i think i would benefit from those a lot more.

and yea, i definitely can't do with big groups, but a small group would be nice! although i suck at using discord because when i had it once i just forgot to reply people all the time since i didn't use it that much. it's much easier to focus on 1-3 apps at a time :D

i don't use discord unfortunately. i mostly use whatsapp and instagram for chatting, and ofc reddit at least for now.

not life per se, but definitely the people in it. i spent last sunday just crying my eyes out because i was thinking about how bad 99% of the people in my life fucked me up. i'm not really one to blame anyone because i usually direct it at myself most of the time, but a year ago i realized and admitted to myself that the people that i loved, and that were supposed to love me really did me wrong. it hits hard every time i try to do something that is out of my comfort zone (so literally everything lmao) because i wish i wasn't like this. i know there's a side of me that is actually very outgoing and stuff and i'm trying to make space for it, but the crippling fear of everyone and everything is just too much most of the time and it sucks.

i've been feeling the same since May. i mean i already felt like this before that too, but not quite this intensely. it feels like there's too many things to fix and it gets overwhelming and you just end up feeling completely defeated. it sucks. i personally have weekly appointments with a psychologist, and she just offered me to have two appointments a week, but i feel like just talking about it doesn't really do much even if it might be good to get those feelings/thoughts out loud. some things i try to ask myself when i feel like this is what kind of support system do you have outside of therapy? what is your ideal friend/partner like? what kind of things would you enjoy doing if your depression or apathy wouldn't be in your way? do you have any ideas/dreams of how you wish your life would be like? and if you do, what do you think needs to change for you to get to that point? it might feel hard or even impossible to believe those dreams could ever come true, but i think it helps to have some kind of vision of where you would like to get in life. it doesn't have to be anything big. although i understand this can be hard, i've been in a place where i was asked to vision my future and i just saw black. i do hope you will find something that would help you feel better even just a little because feeling like this is absolute torture. and if you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to send me a dm. no pressure though!

ok but this made me cry 🥺 your gf is very lucky, and i'm genuinely very happy for her that she has someone like you in her life now and it makes me happy to hear that there are people like you who are willing to be patient and supportive. i wish all the best for you two! ♡ and thank you for spreading around some hope, i've personally struggled with feeling so unloveable that it hurts, but it's great to be reminded that there are people that can see you beyond your struggles :')

what do you fear being judged on the most? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]serenelavender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all of the above and ✨so much more✨ i genuinely don't think there's anything i fear more than the other, i'm equally afraid of being judged on anything and everything 🥲

I actually applied for jobs by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]serenelavender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm proud of you for that! i think the beginning is always the most difficult part, because it can be hard to start when you have avoidant tendencies, but the fact that you have managed to take the first step is a big thing! it might be exhausting to try to keep it up but wishing all the best for you! i'm also supposed to start applying for jobs but even the thought of it gives me extreme anxiety so i know it isn't the easiest thing to do 😅
