I've been mainly focusing hardcore on getting my college life in order, and then possibly being able to graduate sooner than intended. Along with that, trying to have somewhat of a social life between that...? I still find most of my social life on the Internet of all things, but it's something. All of these small improvements help bring about bigger and better goals in the near future for myself.

wow this thread has been going on for quite sometime

Went out for a walk in the park, listening to music and appreciating the natural beauty of the flowers and trees. :)

TL;DR I finally got the courage to talk to somebody about my anxiety, and it really helped lowering the amounts of anxiety attacks.(▰˘◡˘▰)
The Details
Before I had like a few minor attacks everyday and sometimes a huge attack that had the power to make me blackout and immobilize me for up to 2 hours. Had these shitty attacks as a part of my daily routine and would just cover it up by acting like I was working really hard with something (like writing stuff by hand or draw mathematical looking stuff while wearing headphones). After I blacked out in class, I was brought up to the school nurse and got the courage to talk to her about it, got sent to a doctor who diagnosed me with anxiety (or something, don't really know how to translate it into english as I am not a native english speaker)

Got a few advises on how to handle the attacks and that it is a great idea to make more friends so I started hanging out with my sisters friends (they are a year younger than me but doesn't care about age). They now consider me a part of the gang and bring me everywhere. I think this is the reason my attacks went from multiple times a day till one minor every once in a while. I has basically boosted my life quality

Also I do not feel depressed anymore (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ ✧゚・: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)
The Depression
Used to get bullied a lot because I am really pale even after spending the summer vacation out in the sun. Always been pale, probably bad genetics and living in a country far north of equator. Anyway, got bullied about it all the time and people would do bad shit with me.

Happened from 3rd grade to 7th grade, when I hit 7th grade all the bullies started junior high and I got a year to recover. They just ignored me through junior high, but it was still traumatizing me. Almost wanted to bring a gun at school for payback, but didn't do it because I was afraid of the consequences.

Now I am in high school, and have not seen any of the bullies in over 2 years. Moved on with my life after I befriended my sisters friends and started hanging out with people instead of spending 24/7 in front of my laptop.

I am glad to hear that, wow, way to go!
I hope your life quality just continues to get better
in the future and hopefully you won't need to face
things like that again, but only time will tell.

Anyways, bravo!

my issue is doing things outside of home by myself, i guess that's what happens when you play on a computer for 10 years.

in late 2012 i started taking college classes and it has really helped me to get out and meet people, even driving and getting gas for the car was a big deal for me at first lol but i feel much more comfortable doing stuff outside of home now :) this next semester i will be signed up to be available for work in the computer department, cant wait to meet people with the same interests as me :D
Eh, I have the same problem. I'm really super shy when I'm out around people. I'm having anxiety, and I start shaking and shit. That's why I am always on the computer - I can talk here with anyone about everything and I don't feel shy at all. I'm so free here.
I do go out, of course, but rarely. I prefer being on the computer all day than going out.

I've gotten better with people tbh.
I used to get into fights a lot at school over something stupid.
I have anger 'issues', and it's kind of improving now, but not so much.
Though my arguments have gone down a lot.

I've always been this private, introverted kind of person, but I've been a bit more open with other people lately.

I clean my room once a month depending on how lazy I am there will be mold and dust. When I clean it I get way less headaches.

Almost a year ago I received my GSCE results, and I cried at how 'bad' they were. I had just average grades that I'd managed to scrape with little revision (nothing wrong with average grades, just wasn't my personal target.) I'd had a few rough patches with family as well through out the three years at school prior to them and this led to self destructive behavior which probably didn't help school either. But now, I have spent the last year putting my head down, eating healthy with no smoking or drinking I can honestly say that no matter what grades I get this year, I feel like I've done my best. I've also patched up the relationship between my parents and I and everything feels so much better.

I now hope to carry out the next school year by being even healthier, whilst studying business studies, english language and religious education to then go on to do a business law degree, perhaps joining the JET programme and teaching English abroad. I finally have some motivation to try achieve something in my life, maybe even learn a new language. I feel like new person. :D

Well I went outside recently
LoliPantsu
I went outside today for the first time in a couple months and I went to get the mail and I talked to the mailman for two whole minutes!!! and then I went out to the mall with my imaginary friends who think I'm super cool and popular, I think I'm progressing at learning how to socialize like normal people in society, also lately I started exercising better because the walk to the mailbox was a good 15 feet or something and I started getting into better eating habits because I went from only eating pop tarts every meal and now I eat organic pop tarts!

I've started getting rid of my "procrastinator" side bit by bit.

And by bit by bit, I mean really slowly. Like the speed of a snail, but progress is progress.
