Scary yes, but you could pull it off! Stranger things have happened

Of course it's possible, it's just big and scary and risky. But I suppose it's not like I'd give up my full time job for it right off. I'd test the waters first. But just still.

Lost my debit card today...not the best one for someone anxious

In the event it was left in a store and someone handed it in

Only realised after shops were shut up though (had to phone them) so very hasty trip home to block it. Phew.

That sounds like a right pain in the arse. Hope you'll get a replacement before Xmas.

Oh yeah 2 working days

I'm just glad it a) wasn't stolen anyway and b) I had it blocked anyhow.

It actually made a weirdly nice change to actually HAVE to deal with something head on and let the anxiety purely ride over me...it had to be dealt with immediately and I just tackled the anxiety (including the extra stress) head on...it feels like I've been exercising actually. So I'm alright now

That's great to hear actually!

You don't seem as talkative as usual, maybe it's just me?

Obviously fine..I just mean if something's up moreso than usual? (Though you did say you were fine so

)

Does any one with anxiety daydream and then snap back paranoid they were saying it out loud??? I usually know when I'm talking out loud!! but I keep getting fixated on this

Not that specifically, but I do feel I've drifted for a while then snap myself back into reality. Plenty of people do that anyway tbh.

I daydream constantly too.

Sala · 19-12-2014 08:15PM

Thanks I get carried away and I get such a jolt when I'm daydreaming in paranoid i was saying things aloud - probably was not, but sure why miss the chance to give myself something else to stress over :-(

You're probably being very silly! :hugs:

It's very common.

it is very common among those on the schizophrenic spectrum of disorders:

schizoid, schizotypal, schizoaffective and schizophrenia

The letter of the day in the indo about how loneliness is a big problem for some this year.. The letter has a stock photo of an elderly lady beside it.. Surely that stereotype needs to go.. I've been lonely a while now and it's worse this year than ever.. I'm in my thirties and have been very lonely on and off for as long as I can remember..

Rant over, sorry about that..

Roquentin · 19-12-2014 11:29PM

i feel more lonely around people than i do alone......

there is a lot of freedom in the solitude.

i meet people from time to time alright, but certainly spend the majority of time alone

very introverted

Not a rant, a sound observation

I know the feeling, but then again I don't think I've ever truly experienced life yet. 26 Monday, about time I broke the shell once and for all.
