I'm OK right now, but I'll get depressed if nobody listens to my broadcast :P |

Monoid, if you put as much effort into trying to be happy as you did into making posts about how depressed you were then the world would be a better place :) |
||||||||

I'm not, I grew out of teenage angst a couple of years back and now don't get down for more than a couple of days at a time. |

I'm in a transitor period at the moment so any depression or moodiness is understandable. I'll be right as rain in a few months when my life stabilises. |
||||||||

|
|
transitory dammit |
||||||||

Yeah transistors depress me too, they might be more robust than valve based amps, but dammit, they jsut don't sound as good at the low frequencies, despite what people say. ;) |

It's amazing how much having a girlfriend has changed the way I feel, my depression has just vanished like fog on a sunny morning. Of course, the fact people are listening to Affluxion now helps too ;) |

What is social phobia? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when you find social circumstances or places difficult to cope with, it links in with depression in some ways, its not a sign of personnel weakness though, no mental illness is |

EXTREME SHYNESS |

I'm shy too. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
NOT as shy as IM....I can gurantee you that.....basiclly im fucked |
||||||||

I'm not overly depressed right now... too many things I enjoy in life, none of which are anything social. Generally, I can be a miserable son of a bitch, but not overly so. . And I sympathize with Monoid, social anxiety disorder/whatever you have is much much worse than just shyness, I have it too. I wouldn't open my mouth for months at a time at college, unless I had to. Difference is, I've never wanted a girlfriend or any of that, I'm content being this way. |
||||||||

I refuse to believe that. Sure, you may have a hard time getting out of it, but you're definitely not fucked and by saying you are you're not helping yourself. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you can get through it, you can be helped, dont mean to sound as tho its easy but there are things you can do to get through it |

Depression I believe comes in phases. You simply cannot be depressed the whole time. Extreme euphoria of course uses a lot of seretonin and so subsequently you can feel a bit down afterwards. But I find when you're on a buzz and I'm not talking about drugs (I don't do) then you want to really maintain that. |

this extreme shyness, social phobia, or whatever it's called is not an easy thing to deal with. i cannot function socially at all. i can't meet people. i can't look someone in the eye and talk to them, let alone keep a conversation going. there are no friends, no going out, and girls are definitely out of the picture. it's a completely hopeless feeling to know that you're unable to interact with people. what's worse is knowing that it won't change, especially when you've been that way your entire life. so instead you're left with isolation and misery...nothing matters anymore, and little by little you begin to forget all things you loved and enjoyed doing. any new opportunities are wasted cause you feel like shit so much that you just give up. that's the way it is. |

nothing inspires me enough to do anything. I'm bored out of my mind or just too lazy. it's weird that it's so easy to know what to do, know the right course of action, but you just don't do it, don't follow through. why is it like that? bleh. |
||||||||

You're making me very depressed. You sound like me, only worse, admittedly. I can actually hold my own in social situations, but it's SO damn hard and I never ever want to do it. I'm fairly happy, and I don't ''feel like shit'', but there's no doubt I'm fucked up socially, I just want none of it and it causes some grief. So it works out for me in the end. I can use my disorder as an excuse to escape situations I don't want to be in, heh. You sound like you need some help, man. It can change... I feel I could change it if I really wanted to, but there's no need or want, for me personally. Maybe someday. I got a job doing tech support and already I'm a bit more outgoing... by necessity. Force yourself into a job like that, where you have to interact. I was forced into it, and I'm glad now. I'll still be a lonewolf and eat lunch by myself, but I CAN talk to people if need be. But I hear you on the isolation thing... but not the misery. I never do anything or go anywhere, ever. I dig it though. |

seriously naaic, if that's the case, I hope for your sake that you get help, instead of just wondering around in your own miserable little sphere. It's shit, I know what it's like to have personal problems like that, and quite frankly you can't solve these problems without the guidance of a professional. |
||||||||

Yeah, heheh, I had a job doing telemarketing surveys. Used to be nervous calling people, not anymore |

i'm doing quite well at the moment :), everything is falling into place, i met a new boy, getting school stuff finished, and things at home are going good... i still get spurts of depression, but then i throw a party and things are good |

ophecks and nlogax: i see what you guys are saying and it makes sense. while it's far from perfect, usually i can get by ok. but i'm pretty far from home right now, and i'm as alone and overwhelmed as i've ever been. so things seem pretty shitty right now. the gloomy weather sure doesn't help either...i don't know how you scandinavians put up with this every year ;) |

I was just browsing through this site for the first time and had to reply. I was diagnosed as having Avoidant Personality Disorder (pretty much the same thing as social phobia). I agree, it is not an easy thing to deal with. Often I feel I am missing out on the best things in life- lots of friends, girlfriends, just generally getting out and living life. I always feel like life is passing me by, which to me is the worst feeling in the world. The stuff that makes life worth living. What makes it worse is usually people don't understand and just think I'm cold or not interested in them or boring or an asshole which just pisses me off. I usually end up smoking weed or obsessing on stupid shit that doesn't matter just to fend off boredom and keep my mind occupied. So yeah, it really, really sucks. But having said that, it's not hopeless. You can get better. It's not easy and requires effort just to experience what others take for granted but you -can- make improvements. I used to be TERRIFIED of public speaking so much that I just couldnt do it. I took an anti-social anxiety pill, Paxil to help me through it the first time, then stopped taking it and now I can do them no problem. Try by just doing something easy like asking 5 people what time it is. Then ask 5 people for directions and look in their eyes. Then make some small talk with 5 people, etc etc. and get progressively more challenging. The momentum you build up will give you confidence. I think the best advice I got was WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT OTHERS THINK!?! Once I got that I felt myself get more ballsy. It's funny because I really do think I'm better-looking, smarter and more interesting then most guys. But the little negative voice in my head keeps babbling 'you're such a loser, you're so fucked-up, everyone thinks you're weird, you're hopeless with girls so don't even try cause you'll only embarrass yourself, etc etc' |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
BTW, I think Paxil's shit and wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. I don't believe in antidepressents really, unless you're suicidal. I think I just needed it as a placebo to help me through the public speaking thing. No public speaking, no degree... |

try spending less time on message boards, they do not serve as a replacement for real social interaction.. mb overuse and dependence is very emotionally crushing.. |

OT but...I tried uploading my avatar photo about 568744 times and no go. Does it have to be EXACTLY 80 by 60? And if so how the *&*%$ do you get it that precise? Not with Windows Image Editor... |

I was depressed coz of my girlfriend being away thing and complications due to that but somehow now I'm over it. I haven't been down at all for a few weeks. But when I do feel upset it's nioly usually for a short time and then afte rthat I feel rerally high and it's weird. I think my brain chemistry is like really really really messed up. I came into work totally hysterical today my boss actually pulled me aside and asked me if i was on anything. |
