while i doubt any of you remember me, ive made some interesting developments since i was last here.
for the last several months (the past week or so especially), ive been having a much easier time being social, and its getting easier every day. there were some major things in my life that i was in denial about, and some traumatizing things in my past i had forgotten about, and as i started acknowledging those things and dealing with them more maturely than i did when i was 12 (when my SA problems first started) i felt like the extroverted and confident version of me slowly started coming back to life after being dead for about 8 years.
maybe i never really had social anxiety, maybe it was all just a huge amount of repressed anger and shame. i dont know. all i know is things are getting better now. there are still times when i feel anxious and dont want to be around anyone, and times when i get nervous and make an ass of myself in front of someone, but those incidents are becoming less and less frequent.
so, i guess this will be my last post here? if youd like to chat with me, pm me if you have msn. ill drop in a couple more times maybe, but i doubt ill be posting again (unless of course i have some sort of relapse and start getting nervous all the time again).
Best of luck to all of you, i really hope one day you can be (almost) free of anxiety as well. _________________
