I Think I'm Losing My Mind
I really only started feeling super socially anxious the second semester of last school year and it just hit me like a train. I had never been afraid to walk into school, or say something to a stranger, or go to a shopping mall but now I am. I don't know what to do and I have no friends. Even if I did I don't think I would have the guts to ask them to hang out. It's summer break though and I'm so lonely I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can only hang out with my mom so much. I feel like I'm going mad cooped up in my room 24/7. I feel like there is no one to reach out to since I'm not involved in any extracurricular activities and I'm not in school. I just want to get out of my house and have fun again. I don't know what to do anymore.
@calliexjae have you spoken to your Mother about how you feel as they can be supportive if that is not an option have you tried speak to a helpline to discuss any solutions .... you may just be seeing a lot of people for who they are and as a result of being such a real person you may not be liking what you see so you are then spending time alone getting stronger trying to find and rely on yourself... it happened to me in school years ago
@indigoNest5772 I've talked to my mom a bit but do you mind explaining more on seeing people as they really are because I'm a little confused but if it's what I'm thinking of that could be a major possibility.
@calliexjae no problem, sometimes in our many years of growth in the early stages of you're luck you may realize not everyone is such a good friend as they seem to be and they may not have your best interests at heart ....if this has happened it may be a big reason for your recent behaviour emotions and feelings about things
@indigoNest5772 in the early stages if you're lucky I meant to say
@indigoNest5772 maybe I'd say I've been lucky with my best friend. She's amazing. I feel like I can read people really well though just by how they present themselves and stuff. I don't really know how to say it but I get "vibes" from people and I generally feel like they wouldn't like me or they would judge me because I'm not "normal". I guess I do limit myself in some ways too because I don't like having a lot of distant friends but more like one or two close ones. But sometimes, especially at a younger age it's harder to find those people to confide in because how often have kids gone through this and that because they haven't lived that long. Thank you so much! You were such a help!!!
@calliexjae I've experienced this situation and would like to tell you, it can be over come. Check out my profile,if you want and I'd be happy to listen!
