I have never been good at doing things like resumes, job applications, calling people to ask about jobs, etc, it all just freaks me out. Staring at my resume reminds me how many dead end jobs I've had. It reminds me I dropped out of college because I had too much anxiety to focus in class. It...

I haven't posted here in a while, but here goes. As the title suggests, this is about sex, so it might be triggering, although I will only discuss it in vague terms, I have no plans to get into the graphic details. I am a 28 year old man, lifelong loner due to crippling social anxiety...

I am an amazing man. I have been through hell. I have seen a side of human nature so dark most people cannot even comprehend it let alone accept it.

This is strange for me to say, but I think I am subconsciously sabotaging my life, in pretty much every aspect, and have been for a while. I like to think of myself as a very self aware and analytical person, so this seems so strange to me, but its starting to become clear. I've worked long...

OK a little background. I did horrible in school, freaking horrible. Classes I knew I was good at like english and philosophy type stuff I excelled at , math, science, I did very poorly at. I dropped out of college after failing a bunch of classes. I'm not stupid, at all, but I was overwhelmed...

It has become clear to me that I need to grieve for all the pain I have endured over the years, especially as a child, especially the pain that comes from having monsters instead of loving parents. Not long ago, I really let myself go there for a few days. It wasn't exactly pleasant but...

I feel so completely alone right now. No one has ever loved me, except maybe my grandmother but I was never really around her much. I've never had anyone to be there for me or comfort me. I am so hard on myself. Really I should be feeling happier these days. I have accomplished so much. In the...

I have made a lot of progress and I no longer feel scared or angry at fireworks, but I really can't say I enjoy them much either. Lets call it common annoyance.

I get anxiety so bad it hinders me from doing just about anything. I get it in all social situations, I try to be outgoing but anxiety turns me aloof and distant and I dont connect with people, I dont make them want to be around me. I love to play music, but every time I try to learn a new song...
