Online Dating Advice/Anxiety Inducing/ Venting
Relationship Stress / by NyxArcane1226

...See more I've been out of the dating game for a while now. At my insistence of "focusing on myself" is really just an easier way of saying dating is probably one of the most anxiety inducing things. I've had maybe a handful of relationships and one long term one. And I have friends I really value and people in my life who offer emotional nourishment. But now it's a matter of all my friends are in relationships, as are others in my life and it just feels so lonely. And really the only platform these days is online dating. I'll be honest when I say I've been too afraid of online dating. The thought of trying to sell yourself and advertise yourself as the best candidate just terrifies me. Or like the risk of running into someone who might know me irl. I dont necessarily think I'm the greatest looking either so there's another reason why online dating fills me with such awful anxiety. And the pictures for the profile are kind of.. uh necessary. Of course I don't think a relationship will be an end all be all to my anxiety and depression, but it's just been at a point where I'm feeling pretty lonely and I miss that feeling of being in a relationship again I dont know the purpose of the thread.. maybe it's me venting??
Hopefully a step in a better direction

...See more Hi all. I'm Nyx. Im 26, and I'm starting to take the first steps towards self kindness. This really has been one of the most difficult things I've done, I have held such deeply conditioned self hatred for as long as I've known. Enough to warrant a suicide attempt. But for the first time in my life I'm on anti depressants, I'm trying counseling, I feel like I can hate myself a little less. I used to think I was untreatable and so messed up in the head. Like I was not worth saving. A friend told me about this and I just love everything about it. I know pretty heavy for an intro. Stay well friends
