You know what sucks? I went to a doctor yesterday. I was diagnosed as having Social Anxiety Disorder, and depression. I now currently have two prescriptions, and then a third one I'm supposed to pick up in two to three months. In two weeks, I have to go in for blood work for them to make sure its not something else with me causing my problems. The two prescriptions are gunna be a pain. One is one pill a day, thats Lexapro. The other is three pills a day, and I forgot what its called. Four pills a day goddamnit. I took my first Lexapro this morning, and it left me tired, and nauscius.  I still am. Perhaps I've got a fever again. I've also been told I'll need to see a counsilor, then a psyciatrist to make sure that the doctor made the right choice in prescribing these drugs. Mainly because these drugs are meant for adults, and I'm not even 16 yet. Otherwise, I was told I was damn healthy; c'ept for a 99.2 temperature I was sporting.

Gugh. I hate drugs of any kind.3.
 

Bah, tell them to piss off with their silly pills that cause more problems than they fix - if they even do fix anything.

Social anxiety & depression = being a teenager.

ill sign to that one, seems when im on my own i have some serious personality problem, i.e. now but its infrequent. if air could be smited, id have a haze around me right now

Actually, the Social Anxiety has been with me ever since I was 5, so its not because I'm a teenager. Also, I'm not faux-depressed like most teenagers pretend to be for attention. I was mainly posting this because I wouldn't want anyone to worry if for some reason I started acting different.

that would be blamed on hormones too. whens your psychiatrist meeting?

In a few months.


But for social anxiety being something with all teenagers, do you know any teenagers that can't buy movies, or other shit, even if they want to and can? And do they need to have someone else go up to the register while the teen ducks under some stands and shelves to not be seen, then bolts to the other side of the store or area? I can only manage to go to the counter at EBs now, and it's been 6 years since I started shoping there. I still can't buy things there by myself because I'm afraid, scared, nervous, and many, many other things.

if my parents are around ill get the to do it, i have somthing about social interaction, but not like that. quite frankly i work better when im left to my own devices and theres no one else around.

Im not sure if i should feel sorry towards you or intrueged

Well I am/was a little like that, but not that extreme.

I dunno if I'd call that anxiety or something else though.

I do think drugs wont help it though. The brain is too complex for man-made things to be able to fix it properly.

well you have friends here, and im sure you wouldnt be depressed if we had more topics  :P  

Sounds like your just very shy, you dont need drugs for bloody shyness...

Fil you don't need to socialize with the outside world.  You get enough of that here :)

Well they really dont know how to help you so they just throw pills at you.  I should so become a doctor.  i'm getting good at throwing pills at people :P
"hmm I dont know what I should do about ____"  
"take some advil"
"Its so hot in here"
"there are some antidepressants in the cuboard"

I'm not comfortable in social situations but i don't know if its Social Anxiety Disorder...

Yeah, but still, I'd rather have people see I'm trying to fix things rather than sitting and doing nothing. Now, I must pose you a question.


I've missed so many days of school I'm behing held back to repeat my sophomore year, and I'm not getting any credits. Should I go to school for the rest of the year knowing this? Or say: I'm getting nothing, I'm giving myself an extra month of summer, even just to situate myself to the changes in my life, and the fact I won't be able to graduate on the day I've been wanting too (6/6/6.)? I'm just hearing different people's opinions before taking a course of action. I, myself, think its rather futile to go the rest of the time and get nothing from it.

it depends on your stance on education, like if you really want to learn or not. Then again, not much goes on near the end of school except for Finals. I don't know if i personally would want to go back to school and know that my friends are going ahead and not me

I say dont bother going the rest of the year(if its ok with your dad) it will give you some time to work out some of your thoughts and whatnot without the pointless distraction of school.  

Yeah... but now I'm so damn nervous and scared. I'm being held back a damn year. I won't graduate with the people I grew up with. I can't do shit about any of it no matter what I do and no matter how hard I try. Instead of being one of the youngest in my grade, I'll now be the fucking oldest. I'll turn 19 about a week after I graduate. And I always knew this would happen under the circumstances I'm going through. But no one in my damn family listened to me at all. They never do, and they never will.

Well if you cant do anything about it, you can ry to accept it if that would make it easier ;) and sometimes things seem worse than they are  :unsure: and ehm this way you can get to know new people and stuff..eventhough that doesnt sounds that fun
i think that psychiatrists can help you better than drugs, but i dont really know anything bout it so uhm.. :ph34r:  

im happy being one of the youngest, oldest? you could make good use of it... friends thing is a stomach churner though




thats not the correct response fire

doesnt matter, they stoped paying attention to the nonsense I say :P

Fil ever considered  getting a GED instead of graduating from highschool?  you have to be 16  and I dont remember how old you are but that would be an easy way out.  Just study your arse off, take a couple tests, and you're done.  and I dont think they limit how many times you can take it if you fail the first time.   You still wouldnt be graduating with your friends but at least you wouldnt have to repeat this year.

Can a GED get me into a good college? -sighs- Because thats all I want to do. Go to college, learn some things, and then hopefully do something I'm interested in.

probably not.  dunno for sure though.

Thus, I cannot do that. I've been wanting to go to college since I was about 7.

hmm.  you could do some independant study stuff and do twice the work you normally would so you can catch up with your friends.  and take summer classes  so you will end up graduating with them.  but that will be really rough to do.  

Only summer courses are in rutland. For 100$ a course. x.x Well, I found out I can take a GED and get into a college, maybe not the best, but I can get into a college.


See, I'm worried about when the next school year rolls around. Will I have the nerve to even show face? Damn. Aren't I supposed to feel something biting at my heels to make me get around to things I know I should do? -grumbles- But, at least I got burritos.

"So take off all your...." *slap* Arg!!! Get that song out of my head!!!!

*chuckles* luckily for me i cant pic out the tune of that through Duality playing right now

"sit down on the couch."
"but what does that mean?"

oh thanx ripper now thats stuck my head <_<
