Can I be blunt? You are 25 and yet you keep saying that you want a girlfriend, can't see why your brother is getting a girlfriend, but you aren't willing to do anything to change how you are? What is it exactly that you want? There is no way that a magic wand can be waved to make you better - you have to work hard to get better and only you can do that!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Sorry, my counsellors get annoyed at me as well, no one knows what to do with me. I seriously struggle with social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem & anxiety in general. I'm constantly worrying about silly things, even my mum gets annoyed with me. If I wasn't lonely I'd be more content & less insecure..Originally Posted by Suzi
I'll consider it with my doctor. The reason I haven't increased them is because I upped a previous medication & it didn't make a difference. All it did was give me added side effects of drowsiness & I don't like taking drugs in any form as it is..
This is a different medication, and they all affect you in different ways. No one likes taking pills, but it's got to be better than this, surely
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I'm not getting annoyed at you at all, I genuinely am interested in what you want to happen and how you want it to happen....

I've increased my dose from 50mg to 100 for the Setraline & I have to see my doctor again in 2 week. I don't know why though because surely 2 weeks isn't enough time for them to kick in
It's probsbly to make sure you're ok on them and don't have any difficult side effects

Well done, that's a positive step. 2 weeks is to check everything is ok. If you need to see the doctor before then, don't be afraid to ask.
I keep meaning to ask you, do you only work at weekends?
ye rose 1-2 days & I volunteer on mondays. I feel completely hopeless about the future & I'm a serious recluse. My mind is so riddled with sadness that its impossible to break free. People tell me to think positive but how can I when I have no friends, no future & I'm 5'3. My mums friends try to encourage me to do somethin but I feel so bad.
I don't wanna engage with any1 because I'll bring them down with my reclusive miserable demeanor. People seem to like me & say I'm funny & a good lad, I'm not sure why though at all ..
I was on 50mg sertraline but i braved another visit to gp and it the dose was upped to 100mg. Things seem a bit more "normal" now even after only two weeks after the bigger dose.
It does take about 4 to 6 weeks for you to get the full benefits from the ads ive been on
Take care

Have you looked for a job that gets you out of the house more often? It might help with your feelings of being a recluse?
