Ich verließ das Büro heute schon mit einem ordentlichen Schub meiner #socialanxietydisorder. Wir hatten Bewerbungsgespräche. War gut, aber ich war dann echt platt.
Bin trotzdem noch zum Dorfladen weil wir für heute Abend noch ein paar Dinge brauchen. Sie hatten keinen Porree. Kurz überlegt und mich für den Supermarkt in der Stadt entschieden statt umzuplanen.
Und nun stehe ich hier, den Einkauf, den Laptop und meinen Autoschlüssel im verschlossenen Kofferraum und warte auf den Schlüsseldienst...

Yep, I’m a mess but I’m a funny, lovable mess who would burn the world to the ground for the people I love. And if you think any of those hashtags defines me as a complete person, then you need to get away from your one dimensional thinking and join the rest of us in the real world where life is messy and people are complex, and there’s never a day quite like any other.

If you’d like to talk about any of the hashtags above, please do, I’m happy to have conversations about any of them except about any medications I may or may not take.

Signs + symptoms of #socialanxietydisorder:

– blushing, sweating, trembling
– rapid heart rate
– mind going blank
– feeling nauseous/sick to one's stomach
– rigid body posture
– speaking with an overly soft voice
– struggling to make eye contact, be around strangers, or talk to others in social situations (even if desired)
– feeling self-conscious or fearful that people will negatively judge
– avoiding places where there are other people

I had blood work and an ECG done today. Hope everything comes back normal, because I really don’t need more problems during this fucking crazy time. And I started a behavioural activation group for depression yesterday, which went alright-ish. I struggle with groups a lot due to multiple severe anxiety disorders. Had a panic attack the entire 2 hours. The group is once a week for a few months. I hope it helps. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #SocialAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder
