Tried going into the pub today. I knew it would just be our family friend in who we trust.
But because I was so stressed I started thinking he was working undercover. Was a horrible feeling. Images of me throwing my drink over him kept intruding into my thought space.
So I basically went in, gulped my beverage and left. Now I feel overwhelmed with paranoia/anxiety.
I am sorry, that is a horrible feeling.
Are you feeling any better now that you are back home?
Socializing is difficult.
Feel a little better back home thanks
Jimbob I also suffer similar symptoms to u man
It’s ■■■■ isn’t it?
At least you were willing to try. That’s better than I do.
Yea I hate it.
It’s so tiring
Peoples body movements catch my attention.
Like if someone randomly raises their hand I feel they are sending a msg fo a sniper to take me out.
Very irritating
Feeling better now I am home. Am just not ready for such social situations. At least I am aware of that and can act accordingly
@anon39015889 so sorry you get this stuff too. It really sucks
Hi @anon94176359, happy to hear you’re feeling better now.
I struggle with paranoia too when I’m out in public.
It might sound a little corny, but I think most people generally mean well.
Take care.
Haha you guys are too nice. I find best way to get thoughts away like those are to talk about them and if people stare, who cares? At least your not acting them out. I was plagued by them too long, and I couldn’t find any other coping skills. It’s good if your talking to someone, the thoughts happen and get into ACTION! Its a little counterintuitive but it works just as long as you’re with someone that understands. You have no reason to feel bad. Think, and talk, don’t act!
I’m glad you are feeling better.
You tried and good if you keep trying and doing your best and hopefully you will have days soon where you can enjoy socialising and enjoy going to the pub.
I have difficulties socialising.
I have several different symptoms.
My voices and paranoia stopped then I had heaps of delusions and paranoia but that seems to have stopped too but I still have difficulties socialising.i will get so tense and have like fits of all the tension where I just feel awful and sometimes my brain will hurt specially the right side feels so frail.
I had dinner with some of my family the other day and I thought it was difficult and it absolutely exhausted me.
Socialising is exhausting to me even with family and loved ones it can be that way.
I want to have friends and I want to socialise but it takes so much out of me.
Sometimes people think I’m “everyone’s ■■■■■” to be bossed around and I don’t agree with that and even if I’m the only one who does not agree I do t agree and I’m not in the army etc
May we keep trying and doing our best and may things improve for us.
