  It's a shame how slow this place has been lately. :(

  It's funny... what keeps me away from whining in this shoutbox is the thought: "but I'll delete it later anyway".

  Regrettably, I don't listen to anything dark anymore. Dark inside makes me wanna be cheerful outside -_-

  Hi all! I want to find friends who listen "goth" and "dark" music like me:)

  And so I decide to leave this group after 5 year of being part of this group. Had fun times and friends (and still have). Cheers!

  Hey, thanks! No need to delete your posts. I think one of the purposes of this group is to vent our frustrations our anxiety makes us go through so we can discuss those things with one another. ^_^

  I've deleted my posts; I feel stupid whining on here... :/

  I am EXACTLY the same, Yoshida-Kun. :( And I am also willing to change, but it's very hard for me. I have too many bad habits and too much self-hate... Good luck with your job.

  I've been reading some articles about anxiety and how to overcome or at least control it. It sure sounds like a daunting task, but it frankly can't be worse than what I've already lived through.

  I can definitely relate to you nyork_binox. I have spent the past eight years (or more...) doing nothing but wallowing in my self-pity, feeling worthless, hopeless, alone, misunderstood, avoiding people and the like. I could never accept myself for what I am. I am extremely ashamed of what I've become over the years, which is: Boring, extremely depressed, stupid, slow-witted (I have the worst sense of humor ever), extremely self-conscious and anxious to the point I barely speak with anyone, extremely paranoid if I talk to someone (I start making assumptions based on our conversation as insane as: "what did you just say? are you retarded? he/she hates you now" or "they didn't reply to your messages because you are such a failure") among many other things. I am frankly fed up with this shit and I'm willing to change. I simply can't go on living anymore with this kind of pressure, especially now that I have a job and have to interact with people all the fucking time.

  I understand that, I mean, I REALLY do... so much that saying anything else is pointless, though on the other hand just nodding and saying I understand seems stupid, too. So I write this because I don't want to leave it without any answer from my side (Which also doesn't make any sense at all). And I know I have no right to console you but I want to say it can't be true that you don't have anything to offer but SA!! I just don't see how.

  What were you taking? Benzo withdrawal is some serious shit, can't imagine how terrible it would be to quit a benzo cold turkey. One of my relatives can't live without clonazepam. Not because he needs it, but because he simply can't stop taking it. :< I refuse to take any benzos and antipsychotics for my anxiety because of tolerance issues. Getting off of either of them is hell and antipsychotics and give you tardive dyskinesia if used for too long. :/

  Meds for social anxiety are a good choice unless you'd like to stop taking them one day. I ended up in ER due to an unplanned cold turkey -> bzd withdrawal syndrome.

  Me neither.

  O_O uhh... it all sounds quite risky. I guess I don't want to try them anymore...
