Well I'm glad you were able to share with us special_k.
It sounds real hard. Reminds me of me.
Is there any chance you could get some benzos? I used to like xanax, but I prefer clonazapam now. You sound like your having a great deal of anxiety. Makes it hard to think, I know.
A short term T might be ok, if you know right from the get go that its gonna be that way.
I dunno if you do any drugs, but if so mebbe there could be withdrawl?
Oh those stupid people don't know what they are missing in knowing you. They are so stupid. But surely there's some more real people too? Somehow you'll have to find them. But don't get caught up in a trouble crowd. There are good people out there, I'm finally beginning to understand that that may be true.
Boggles my mind really......
Sometimes its so hard, and it seems so trite to say 'this will pass', but hell......it will......eventually.
If you could keep posting, maybe that would help you not feel so alone, cuz us babblers are with you all the way. I am anyways for sure.
I bet somebody more socialized than I will have some ideas.
Ack, gotta run,
You take care,
Muffled

I have the same problems with names. Usually if you pull off a welcoming "Hi!" with a smile, and acknoledge them, like you recognize them, they dont' care if you used their name or not.

I'm sure you have TONS of great qualities, you just gotta let the world see them. Apparently if you walk like you're confident people are more liekly to approach you. Also looking people in the eyes and smiling at them. Who cares what others think? Really, they're just missing out on knowing an amazing person. I always try to tell myself that I don't care that they do this, or that she has this or he does that, so why would they care if I do this? You know? Don't be too hard on yourself

Yeah. that is a good idea. I've been getting a bit lax with that too... Depression has been sinking in and what is the point having a shower when you aren't planning on getting up? But if you can muster the effort... They can help one feel better yeah. I get this feeling sometimes. Of being dirty on the inside. Long hot showers help with that. Maybe it will help now. I will have a smoke and a shower before hitting bed. thank you.

I don't like to think that is what I need because... Hospitalisation isn't an option. And medication... Well I have some valium PRN so I've taken some of that and now I'm feeling a lot calmer. I am a little afraid of taking it... Have an addictive personality etc etc. But I think I needed something anything about now... Thanks. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow.

Hey. Yeah... I'm a little wary of benzos... I think I like them a little too much... I used to get Temazapam in hospital. To help me sleep. And I liked that very much indeed. Used to be able to buy those... But I think it might be anxiety yeah. I'm not sure what to do... At the moment I have diazepam 5mg PRN. So I've just taken one of those. And I feel a lot calmer. I was looking at how it is meant to be long acting... I don't know about them... Would I be better to take a low dosage of something every day? Or just take a dosage PRN? I don't know. I guess I've got it PRN at the moment... But what does that mean? Especially when sometimes bad patches... Seem to be neverending?

> A short term T might be ok, if you know right from the get go that its gonna be that way.

Maybe. But then maybe I'll get attached and then when it is over... Maybe that will be hard for me anyways...

> I dunno if you do any drugs, but if so mebbe there could be withdrawl?

Need to stop drinking :-( Yup. I do. I think that isn't helping. I think that is messing with my mood. Also... Feeling burnt out. Over socialised. Freaking out rather. Need rest. I just want to hibernate for a while. People... Too much anxiety provoking. Need to be by myself. Feel like it is a waste though when before... I envisiged really making the most of the art gallery and stuff to do here. But in reality... I just hide in my room all weekend. I don't do anything. Haven't even been to the suburbs yet. Hardly know my way around CBD. :-(

I think people are okay really. It is all about my panic. My freaking out. I think they are okay really. But I freak out. Then need to hide myself away.

> Sometimes its so hard, and it seems so trite to say 'this will pass', but hell......it will......eventually.

thanks auntiemel. i just really freak out sometimes :-( i can see that is what is happening... but i'm not sure what to do to
stop it or make it go away.

sometimes those thoughts just go around and around my head. in response to every little thing. i make a blunder and the thougth 'i hate myself' it just keeps on popping up... over and over. and i always remember what my old t used to say to me 'be kind to yourself' and i always try and remember that to counter it but maybe her magic is wearing off over the years or something. i don't know. but the thought just seems to keep on occuring to me.

and it can be so very tiring to hear it...

But while some people cope with change really well, I think what you're going through is fairly normal for a large number of people. Going someplace new and trying to fit in is HARD. Trying to figure out the overt and unspoken rules for a new place is HARD. The anxiety makes it worse then it all swirls together.

My son's teacher said that someday he'll be able to say "Ok, I'm in that transition phase, and it feels terrible, but I know that eventually it will be over and I'll feel ok where I am." He's clearly too young to understand that. I think I may be too.

But... Over time you'll figure out where the best place to eat or grab a cup of coffee may be. And that confusing sea of new faces will sort out into those who are nice and fun to be with, and those who aren't. You may make one or two good friends, or you may at least know who it's safe to hang out with. At the beginning, till you sort that out, if one or two people are unkind and most people are neither particularly kind or unkind, it can seem like everyone's unkind.

This coming from me, the person who thinks my life will be effectively over if I have to move, and that my son will never get over it.

So if we have to move, maybe you can echo what I've just said to me.

:(

***I have a big problem w/anxiety. I also have an addictive personality. I remember awhile back when I was smoking weed to try and feel better and my T says "do you think thats a good idea given your history?" WTF, that kinda pissed me off, but she was right :-(
But (mostly) I'm pretty careful with the benzo's. I only get a limited amount so I try not to overuse.
I don't use them all the time, just when I am extra struggling(eg .5 clonazapam daily for a week or two, then a bit of a break). Some work faster(like xanax I think) for quick effect for anxiety attack, others seem to be slower acting. Some make me feel really like I'm on 'drugs'(like street drugs), so I stay away from those, cuz it just upsets me more. Can't remember which ones, I think it was ones specifically prescribed for sleeping(oh ya, and the one you put under your tongue too). I dunno bout the one your on, alls I know is I react very differently to some of them. For me clonazapam(.25) and xanax(.25) are ok. I tend to take just as needed these days.
I'm on sertraline for anxiety and depression, but its a low dose(50). When I try and go up, it kinda freaks me some. So I not too sure bout it yet....

*** Well for me drinking is poison. It most definately messes w/my mood. Its a very powerful drug.
Ah take it easy on yourself girl, you do what you can do, nothing wrong with that. Can you give yourself permission to 'hide out' some weekends or the odd day? You with your hormones, mebbe you could plan ahead? I know I am just not a very social person, so I REALLY need my times away from people. Alone, all alone. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm licking my wounds, sometimes I just walk around with absolutely no expectations of myself or others.(I think sometimes when I do that I look like a tranced out addict, but I just allow myself the rest of dissociating and ignoring weird looks or comments).

***my T likens it to my wearing lots of 'protective coats' and sometimes I start to take some of the coats off and relax a bit, but then I feel too exposed and rush to put all those coats I took off back on again, even though its hot and uncomfortable, its what I'm used to. Feeling relaxed and cool and comfortable is scarey to me, cuz its not what I am used to.
But really, ya, lotsa people are ok, but they human, just like me. Bet lotsa them have struggles, just like me. Bet lotsa them hide it, just like me................

Hey. I think... People are okay. Really. They are okay. It is just that when I get anxious... Case in point... Went out Friday night. That is normal. Few drinks after work then dinner. I was going to go home after that 'cause I've been fighting off this throat infection thing. But some people were keen to play pool so I ended up going along with that. And I was on water so that was okay. Then they wanted to go to this other bar for a drink. So I thought I'd go for just one... Then after a while we went to this other place... And I really liked the music and dancing and stuff (though I was hanging out for some drugs)...

And I probably opened my mouth about that a little more than I should to someone I don't know all that well (oops but then to be fair people seemed to be doing that all night) And of course I don't want to get back into that I don't I don't I don't.

And I guess people just started leaving... So I found myself and two others at the end and they had something else to go to and so I had to walk home by myself. If I new my way I'd feel a lot better about that... But I managed to find the landmark and a couple cops confirmed I was going in the right direction so it really wasn't so bad. But I realised... I've always been waiting for someone to leave who was headed my direction so I could find my way back. Anxiety around that. But what is the big deal? I have a cellphone and can call a cab worst case? So didn't get back till 6am then posted (oops) then slept... Then woke up feeling much the same... Actually no dammit I was in a very bad way. And I was meant to go to a party last night but managed to get myself all worked up in such a state... Why didn't I want to go? I didn't know where it was. So why didn't I call a cab? SIgh. And then there was this other anxious stuff too about them not really wanting me to go - boy oh boy do I get paranoid about that quite a lot - I don't know what is wrong with me... How pathetic am I... Anyway last night my phone starts going... And I see I've missed a few messages... And I ignore it and near the end about 5 different people rang me to... probably ask why I wasn' there or to offer me a ride or somthing. Or maybe check to see whether I made it home the night before lol. But I was so upset I couldn't answer and just turned the phone off. So you see... It isn't really them... They are okay really. It is me. It is me :-( And the trouble is that while 'rationally' I know I shuold just pick up the damned phone and say I am just about to jump in the shower and where the hell is this place? (In hindsight anyways) Emotionally I just burst into tears and couldn't face the situaiton.

Alchohol. Isn't any good for me. But really... It is about moderating the drinking. And leaving maybe midnight at the latest. 5am. Damn. But I get this stuff going on every now an dthen with stress anyways. But yeah to be fair the alchohol probably wasn't helpling :-(

SO I'm working on my story :-( I had a headache sounds so lame (and we were having a chat about psychosomatic illness the night before anyways)... But they know I"ve been fighting off this throat thing... And I've told them befor ethat my phone does have this unfortunate habit of turning itself off (which it does) And so I'm thinking I'll stay away today... And I'll maybe go to the doctor on Monday morning (to get some antibiotics for my throat and maybe have a chat about my anxitey and which kindsa meds might help and what i'm supposed to do about psych services in this damned country anyways just in case worst comes to worst... I mean can I access crisis services or what? How about community respite housing? etc etc...) my doc from nz told me to do that anyways...

And then I'll tell them that I was feeling really bad and yeah didn't get home till 6am and slept and slept and woke up with a headache and slept some more. And I didn't see their messages cause my phone was off...

How terrible is that? and will they think I hate them?

i hate me I do. I do.. WHy does it have to be like this? ANd amongst all this I really have to get working... I do...

and i'm sorry to go on and on and on about this... if it is any consolation it really is helpful to me. it was like this back home too. except the difference was that the people I was living with were undergrads and much much younger than me for the most part. and they would ask me to go out with them. and i wouldn't. and so after a while they would stop asking and then that was it i didn't have this problem. and there were only a couple people in the dept (three though sometimes 5 or 6) that i would hang out with or go out with. but when it was the three of us (plus a few other mutual friends) it was about movies or x-box games or board games or whatever. and we never used to drink. we'd just play or whatever till 5 in th emorning on energy drinks and junk food. so going out... and drinking... and so very many people is different for me. and people here seem much more independent. in terms of finding their own way around. a lot of people bike everywyere (incl while drunk) and i have been avoiding the whole biking thing. and i guess i'm in this mindset of 'i really can't afford to taxi' because i never could before and i have a lot of f*cked up ideas about money in some respects... it is crazy. i kind of think 'that is not an option' and write it off before thinking about it properly. and get really anxious about things (like finding a way home) when really... people wouldn't have left me to it without knowing that it really isn't that far or that hard... and if i had gone to the party then there would have been lots of people to split a fare with anyrate. sigh.

and there are a lot of people in the dept. and they are a very social dept. and they socialise a lot in virtue of being a dept. and i guess to people outside the dept... they are a little daunted and think there is this clicky group. but it really isn't so bad it is just proximity. and you really are included in virtue of being in it and there are honorary members (who are really in other depts too) though... i think tha tmight be harder... and most people socialise fairly much just with dept people. and some people... well if 4 or 5 nights a week isn't enough for you... some people go out even more. and there is this whole 'work hard party hard' ethic. and i feel old (though everyone is same age as me give or take maybe 3 or 4 years and some are a fair bit older) but i feel old or something 'cause my body can't take it. and even mor eto the point i guess it is a shock to the system. but if i can ge ta benzo or something to deal with the damned anxiety then i would be happy drinking non alchoholic stuff. really i would. and i know better than to mix the two. i really really do. i'd rather not drink. back home i never used to i'd just smoke. but nothing to smoke here... and i don't want to get into that though i am starting to crave. but it is about dealing with the anxiety really. sigh. i'm sorry to go on...

yeah. that is what i used to do too. and i'd think it wasn't so bad the smoking. but paranoia and depression really are side effects...

> But (mostly) I'm pretty careful with the benzo's. I only get a limited amount so I try not to overuse.

yep. i don't wanna get addicted to them and end up with a worse problem. but i'm not sure what an ok use and an over use consists in. im not sure what kind of amount leads to tolerance i'm not sure what kind of amount leads to withdrawal. i will have a chat to a doc on monday. really. make me. i'm thinking i can' tafford it which is why i've been putting it off. but i can i'm jus t being all funny about that :-(

> I don't use them all the time, just when I am extra struggling(eg .5 clonazapam daily for a week or two, then a bit of a break).

ok. i was looking at the benzo equivalence chart last night and i didn't know there were so many diff. varieties with different properties. i didn't know that. the diazepam / valium had major muscle relaxant effects (IMO) and i think.. I might still be feeling the effects of it today... i don't know how long the effects are meant to last... it was talking about half life and stuff from memory... i'll go and ask over onmeds i think...

>Some make me feel really like I'm on 'drugs'(like street drugs), so I stay away from those, cuz it just upsets me more.

yeah. i think i might like those ones a little too much... i used to take temazapam with some shots of some kind of spirit (don't try that at home cause it really can make you feel horrid if you get the dosage wrong and probably f*ck up your kidneys or somesuch) ... but that was all the way back... when i wanted to feel high off my face... and when i had more of a tolerance to drugs in general and when i really didn't give a f*ck about the damage i might be doing.

> I react very differently to some of them.

ok. i think i'll have a chat with a doc...

> *** Well for me drinking is poison. It most definately messes w/my mood. Its a very powerful drug.

yeah. i've never been much into alchohol. for me... i wanted to feel higher... and i'd never feel high enough before i was spewing. but here i seem to have a better eye on my limit (re spewing) and also... seem to be developing a tolerance (which i actually don't think is a goo dthing)

> Ah take it easy on yourself girl, you do what you can do, nothing wrong with that. Can you give yourself permission to 'hide out' some weekends or the odd day?

i do. maybe... i need to do it more. and be more firm with myself re i'll play pool then i'm going home. i hope i've learned...

I know what it's like moving to somewhere new. It's hard and scarey. But don't feel that you have to go out every night just to get people to like you. And don't feel that they will look down upon you (or whatnot) if you dont' drink. Most of the time they'll ask, but if you just say, it's not something I like, they'll be like oh cool and keep going. I'm kinda in the same situation. But now I've been here almost 8 months, and next semester I'm moving across the country. I'm excited but not. I hope things start to go better for you. Could you invite people over to watch a movie or play a game?

Thanks for these posts, I'm glad they helped, there's a lot of stuff in there that matters, that means a lot and helps me as friend to understand, so thank you.

Hope you're feeling better today, I'll try to post more once I've had a chance to read and think and reflect little.

Hey. Yeah, I know I don't have to go out every night. I guess I've just been trying to make an effort to go to most things so people get to know me. And I think that is the way to go. That seems to be what the other new people are doing. And yeah it is helping me fit in. I guess it is more that it is a radical lifestyle change from me (used to spending a lot of time by myself - but then also used to get depressed about not having enough social contact too I guess). Probably about finding more of a balance. Also... As I get more self confident I'm hoping it will become more enjoyable and less stressful. Think it is more around my setting firm limits with myself re calling it a night at a more reasonable hour...

> next semester I'm moving across the country. I'm excited but not.

Wow. I hope your move goes well :-)

Re movies and games... Turns out there are a few gamers here so we are going to try and get into one of the seminar rooms to network out computers... Might figure it out ;-)

Yeah. I am feeling quite a lot better today. I am. Still feel a little vulnerable... But I guess that is pretty usual... But I'm doing ok yeah thanks.

Hope you are doing okay too.

> P.S. They won't think you hate them. They probably just think you were shattered from the previous night - which isn't that far from the truth ;-)

Yeah. WOuld you believe... That is exactly right and it turned out okay. Other people who stayed out... Didn't end up going to this thing either. I guess the night before got to me more than I thought... And I wasn't the only one either lol.

Funny thing also...

I had sort of arranged with one of the people there that we would walk back together because I said I wasn't too sure on the way... I had a look for her at the end but couldn't see her. So I just assumed that she had left already. She didn't like the music. More into chatting. And the music was a bit loud to chat properly. I sat with her for a while and chatted to her. Then she said something about it being a Friday night and... It was really hard to hear her... But she said something about how she wanted to chat with some people... And it was really funny 'cause she got what I meant and I said I was happy enough chatting to her... But I really wanted to dance... I just didn't want her to be kind of standing there by herself... So we kind of laughed at the misunderstanding and I went back to dance... But I figured she got bored sh*tless and left.

But she didn't. She stopped by to see me this morning and she was like 'where did you get to' and I said I thought she went home. And she said she hung around and people were getting kicked out 'cause it was closing... SO actually.. I left her. And so we had a bit of a laugh at that misunderstanding. And we both ended up having a good night and missing the party last night. So that was okay :-) And I do get myself into a state over not a lot sometimes.

Sigh.

I was going to go to the doc to have a chat about meds... But... I really was feeling a lot better this morning. I've finally managed to kick that throat infection that I've been fighting off over the past week or two! And I was feeling a lot better. Back to normal. So I didn't go to the doc after all.

Glad you feeling better. Now remember this for next time, put it in your brain. Sometimes, ya, you freak some, bit it DOES get better! ;)
BTW alcohol gives me the worst anxiety next day. Worse than any hangover. :-(
Happy for you!!!! :-)
Take care,
Muffled

Glad things turned out okay, and that you had a good night even without going to the party. Was a tough weekend, but lots of good things have come out of it :-)

Really happy you're feeling better too :-)
