I've had anxitey forever, about age 13. It caused me major depression, and possibily a mood disorder. Anyway I uh well I have nothing to say...>.> jk, ahem. I refused meds until recently about age 19 (it was getting really bad,), im on zoloft, and risperdal, with the zoloft i can actually think without racing thoughts, but i feel even worse now knowing everything i missed by hanging out by myself all the time.
i know i never delveloped anywhere close to your average 20 year old emtionally, (at least thats what im guessing)...but whose to say theres any average anyway. My point is i feel like a loser, and have no social skills to say get a girlfriend which would make me feel better.....SINCE I NEVER HAD ONE
LOL.....im pathadic (falls down off bed), but at least i have video games
0.0 (i think my brain fried from playing for too many hours...seriously)
With the zoloft i can acutally socialize, but i have no social skills, really so i dont know what to say to people, its like im stuck in a endless loop, meh, in high school i had girls interested in me but i ignored them....now i feel lost.....anyway i dont even now why i am posting this its not like ima find a girlfriend or get a life doing this......but what else do i have t do anyway..... |

I'm pretty much the same way except I haven't worked up the courage to push through my SA to recieve medical help though I wish to be put on meds. So instead my SA depression and ADD are just going to worsen until I do.
Anyway I've heard of a thing called social skills training. It's a type of therapy were they teach people who have disorders that have prevented them from learning social skills like SA would to interact with people and teach them other social skills. You should look into it. I know I hope to be able to find a social skills training group after I find a sucessful med b/c I have a severe lack in social skills especially when it comes to the opposite sex. |

i feel the same thing. Ever since ive been in college i feel like im having a much harder time meeting new people.
I really feel like im missing out on the college experience. I never felt that way in junior high or high school. |

Sometimes when you don't follow the path most well travelled, you think you're doing something wrong. But that's what popular opinion likes to do to have people think "the same way".
It's definitely tougher to meet new people in college. I can't say I'd made many lasting friends in college. Of course, it doesn't help that I didn't really participate in any extra curricular activities beyond writing for the school newspaper, so some of that is on me. |
