Venting time

I feel very depressed.

It stems from anxiety.

I have no irl friends where I feel no anxiety.

It’s like Amy Winehouse song rehab where she says she just needs a friend.

That’s what I need.

An irl friend.

But it’s so much more unlikely with anxiety.

But I am not giving up

Although I am feeling a lot of sorrow and sadness

Could you join some support groups? You could meet friends that way, maybe. Or, are you religious? If so, maybe there is a church related group you could attend? Could you volunteer somewhere? I’ve thought about volunteering, somewhere. I haven’t really looked into it yet. But that could be a good way to meet people.

No, I feel the opposite. My one irl friend that I still talk to calls me too much and wants to talk. I don’t feel like chatting. It’s actually kind of annoying. She called at 9 am this morning. Much too early to have your ear talked off. Maybe I’m just grumpy this morning.

I guess I could continue volunteering whilst doing full time work.

I don’t want to burnout though.

I’ll see I guess.

Good luck with applying for volunteering if you do :slight_smile:

Yes, I miss having real life friends too. I moved from some years ago. Most of my childhood real life friends live about 400 miles away. I still talk with some of them on the phone and online but I miss being able to hang out with them and go places.

I think volunteering is a good idea to meet people.

I can relate but I also get burnt out from talking to people…

I had one friend add me recently who said she thought I didn’t want to be her friend because I deleted my old facebook account.

Well if its really social anxiety talk about it with your Dr and therapist. There is meds for social anxiety. I said it a lot but I had a friend with social anxiety, he told me he didn’t have friends etc Now he takes Citalopram and has many friends but before leaving him he told me he gets too stressed around opposite sex and stress too much, anxiety, so he said he will never have a gf etc I left him bcz he smoked weed. He said weed helps his anxiety but I think its bs.
