@Paulina2043 how does it make you feel, or what emotions are triggered when you think about the past? What's so painful?

@Paulina2043 I see. For the past 2 mths, I'm a zombie. Instead of working, I stream movies in the office to pass my time till I knock off. I've not been talking to colleagues and it's affecting me at home with my wife as well. I don't like this feeling.

@bumbledanielbee Yeah I have no motivation to even get out from my house or spend time with friends. I just feel completely isolated.

@SweetLemonade21 Hi i notice that you have been posting daily posts on #gratitude and #positivefocus. is it an exercise you are practising? how has it been for you so far?

@SweetLemonade21 same here.. I have low-esteem, people pleaser so I tried to please people but just when I am conscious, I found out that I just talked stupid things and I hardly sleep these days. I'm going to take pills soon. U all are not alone. Hope we can recover somehow...

Life is really hard with this but I will not stop fighting it 😉

It's been happening for a while now. I tend to think about what I am going to be saying in future conversations throughout the day. I get scared that what I am going to say will sound dumb and I rather not say anything. I also constantly feel that everyone looks at me and is talking about me in a negative me. I just want it to stop. :(

I have always been a social person, but for about a year and a half I have been feeling this way every single day. Will it ever go away? :(
