I’ve sobered up and been joining different local hobby based groups. My social anxiety is bad

[Rozay Oro]

I’ve been trying to thug it out and everyone is nice. I feel bad. I don’t care bout a woman, just want peace. I have a therapist and might need a psychiatrist next.

Anyone have suggestions? I’ve been experimenting with magnesium and l-theanine, that shyt ain’t working.

Respect to you for openly sharing.

What is your therapist saying?

Why do you think you need a psychiatrist?

Do you feel ok, and do you have any thoughts of self-harm? If so there’s no shame.

There is help out there.

Do you have real life family and friends nearby?

What substances are you sobering up from?

 

[Worthless Loser]

Being social for the sake of doing it is overrated. Focus on doing what makes you happy. Don't conform into the image other people want you to be.

No self harm. I did tell my therapist I was considering taking medication for it but I ended up canceling the appointment. My therapist has sent me a pdf on cognitive distortions and recommended two different books. Also let me know that my brain has to heal. The drugs to cope, promiscuity and pornography has left me with temporary trenches.

enjoy I can also vent about everything besides just given advice.

What substances are you sobering up from?

Alcohol, weed, vape/cigs and edibles. Obviously not hardcore but I’d do it to manage my anxiety.

Dump your friends ASAP but friends are overrated too.

Anyway, maybe you can make friends at the gym or something.

Dont listen to this guy OP. Socializing is a skill and a muscle. The more you train it the better at it you become. If it is something you want to get better at then absolutely keep doing what youre doing. Growth doesnt come from your comfort zone

You don't need to socialize to grow.

Exercise your body. Mind-body connection is a real thing. You work your body out and your mind will feel better too.

Work on mindfulness meditation and learn to observe your thoughts so you don't have to latch on to them.

Look into rTMS treatments if you can, it saved my life. Better than any meds or drugs I did when it came to giving me real lasting relief from my depression and anxiety
