Thank you, I think I'm ordering the Feeling Good book tomorrow
I just started 2nd job for extra money at Home Depot. They are hiring a ton of people with spring coming. 10$ an hour to start and so far looks like 20 hrs a week.
Hey everyone, I've always had anxiety and panic attacks. But lately the depression is getting worse. Can anyone recommend books that are helpful for depression. Thanks
I think I'm both. I want and like staying home. Going out I'm uncomfortable and want to go home when socializing will occur. I'm fine going to book store alone.
Thanks ponder. I'm reading up on introversion. Hoping I can explain to her that I like staying home and it's normal for me and I'm not depressed. I get irritable when I have to go out and I don't...

What would you say it sounds like. Im ok with a ballpark guess to. Id say I have addictive personality, impulsive, not liking to wait for gratification and throw in a side of social anxiety :)
Sorry...
I was surprised when that was brought up on the other website. But im open to anything until I know. My behavior does differ from my daughter's. With her there is no doubt.

Yes I've got issues with social anxiety. They've gotten worse since I quit drinking. I had more general anxiety and panic when I was a practicing alcoholic. The social anxiety is worse without the...
I definitely think thats a part of it. When I have the obsession going on im usually happy. When I get tired of it and turn away im mentally exhausted, frustrated and sometimes bummed. It doesn't...
Ive been this way for as long as I can remember and I'm tired of it, to the point of depression. Im always getting very interested in something then like someone flips a switch I don't want that...
Completely relate to what you said as well. I thought maybe I couldn't look people in the eye because im a recovered alcoholic and felt guilty. But it happens with people who dont know about the...
Social awkwardness. ..thats exactly what it is. Funny thing is I don't believe myself awkward but I feel awkward. Or people make me feel awkward. Not sure if that makes sense?
Welcome! I get the homesick feeling a lot. Its like separation anxiety from my comfort zone. Your definitely not alone. There's no place like home:)

I've noticed for a while now and maybe even as long as I've been sober that I can't usually make eye contact with most people. Even close family and friends. When having a conversation with...

Thanks AV.. :)

Welcome. Ive only been on here a day or two and the people are great. Lots of good advice and support. I always have this up on my phone so even at work I can come here to get my head straight.
