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 DetailsBefore 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 DepressionUsed 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.
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.geckogates wrote:
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

Live in solitary is the best.

My two cents:
Prolonged episodes of self-induced solitude just made me very unhappy long-term. Getting hurt by others is awful, but deciding to withdraw completely from having any sort of meaningful relationship was worse. It was a silent, creeping pain, a dangerous one because you start accepting it as part of your personality, because you start to cozy up to it.
You aren't special. People are just people. If you get hurt, remember: Some of them are awful, but most of them are just stupid (shoutout to Hanlon's Razor). This applies even more when you are still in your teens.
And oh well, people can be pretty great once you know how to deal with them.
Go out, meet some people. You need them. We all do. Don't shoot yourself in the leg by choosing to not trust anyone anymore. Trust is always a risk, but solitude is already a loss.
