Of course, she wouldn't be there today. And it couldn't have just iced a little more so I didn't have to go to this class I hate so much.

If I could have the numbness and lack of care to my social phobias without being drunk all day, life would be great for me. crying


Try Xanax. I'm supposed to take it for my anxiety, but I don't like it. It's a great painkiller, though, so I use it when I'm really bad.

Trust me, if you're on Xanax, you don't give a s**t about ANYTHING. Which is why I don't actually take it like I'm supposed to... ha.

I'm really not all that fond of prescription drugs dealing with anxiety and such.
But even if it weren't a problem for me, I don't have any health insurance to get prescriptions, or go to a doctor. emo
So I'll just deal with it by drinking. sweatdrop

What the hell?

My sister and I have both gotten several "5 times login failure" notification emails between this morning and yesterday, when we weren't anywhere near Gaia.

Is everyone else getting those too?


I got one on Sunday morning.

Social phobias tend to get easier for me if I pretend I'm somebody else. I guess that's why I like being "Wilhemina" so much. xd

Although it means my own mother couldn't recognize my voice that one time when she called me at my retail job. domokun I spoke in a way that eliminated most of my nasal resonance.

Not to sound preachy or anything, but wouldn't it be a lot healthier, and more effective in the long run, if you tried to defeat your social phobias without the use of substances (be they alcohol or prescription)?

Maybe not as easy...but definitely more worth it, I'd say.

I think I have a phobia for prescription substances - or at least I'm unsettled by them.

On an abstract level, science is like a religion for me.
Though you can "prove" science, you're still just taking someone else's word for it. I've never opened up a human body. Or been to space. Or seen the ozone layer, or any of those things I accept as fact, because a teacher told me so in 3rd grade and I saw an illustration in my textbook.

I'm not saying the world is flat. Or challenging the things that are considered scientific facts. I just don't think people should allow themselves to be mindless sheep.

Since I have to trust you with my life and body, I don't want to be handled like an irrelevant mosquito when I go to the doctor's, given a prescription and shuffled out in 15 minutes. I want to know what the ******** you're asking me to do to my body.

I frustrate my pre-med boyfriend. x]
It's fun being devil's advocate.
I become more like my dad every day.

Hey, I'm getting better. I was just noting that when I'm not sober they seem to disappear and I wish I could be that way sober. I am getting better today. I was all up and confident today and then she wasn't there. crying

It's awesome to find beer hidden in your room.

It's not so awesome to find that it'll foam for 5 minutes after you open it.

I wasn't meaning to sound judgmental or anything, and lord knows I know that getting over those kind of problems just happens out of nowhere (I've been struggling with anxiety and depression issues for as long as I can remember).

It just...I dunno...it makes me kind of sad to see people who depend on substances to function normally. Not that I'm saying you do it or anything. Bah...I'm just digging myself a deeper hole here. XD

Basically what I'm saying is that I know it's not easy to get over those sorts of problems, but it's just so...awful to see anyone form a dependency on medications or alcohol because they think they can't overcome it otherwise. D8

Though it is really good to hear that you're getting better. And I'm sorry your lady wasn't there when you felt all confident and stuff. ;o; ~Hug.~

Wow. In 23 years, I don't think anyone has EVER used the word "sexy" to describe anything about me without sarcasm.

It felt nice. You're not reading this, but thank you. Thank you very much.

I'm the same way, I really don't like the idea of prescription substances when they're not needed.

I'm fine with prescriptions if they are for infections, to cure sicknesses like a cold or fever or such.
But using prescriptions for phobias or for dieting or what have you, isn't needed.
And it pisses me off that they shuffle you out in 15 minutes.
When my folks tried to get me on some anxiety pills, I talked with the Doctor's assistant for 10 minutes.
And then the Doctor comes in and looks over the survey, and says, "Okay, I'm going to give you these two prescriptions, and have you come back in 2 weeks."

Doesn't even talk to me other then that.
And when I looked up the prescriptions it directly says in bold letters "May cause thoughts about suicide or dying."
"And can cause a likely hood for attempted suicide"

I'm not alright with that, so I never even took them.

Reddy: I'd much prefer to do it without substances, but I'm not likely to get through them on my own.

What I need is a friend that lives near me, and can give me the push to do things when I need it.

I'm sure I'd be able to do things that need to be done, or want to be done, once I'm put into motion, I just need the initial push.

Or rather, the initial kick in the a** to do things. sweatdrop emo

Don't worry, everytime I drink it reminds me of how much I really don't like the taste of alcohol. And really, as far as things go, there's only a few things to get in order and I'd be a pretty happy Jaho.
