A little about me

I decided to post a little about me and my family. 1st of all I have anxiety. I have phobias and social fears. I freak out when I have to talk on the phone. I'm on meds for anxiety allthough I take it everyday I don't always write it down. All my life I thought I had depression until about two months ago when I was diagnosised with bipolar disorder. I don't have any friends in real life. My family and I are on the outs. The only person I have is my Mom. We live together but we tend to argue a lot. I admit sometimes I start it but not always. She has mental problems too at 1st she was told she was paranoid schitzophrania and recently found out she was labled schitzoaffective. We are stuck at home a lot. Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone. That's why I came on here to just be able to talk about it without feeling judged by the world. To talk to people who can relate to someone who is like me sorta. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know why I feel this way and have since I was in my teens. Well anyway you can post something to me or you can talk about you if you want or your life or whatever. I guess that's all for now.

I think we both are.  I'm really hypersensitive to rejection.
I probably wouldn't continue posting here (although it has it advantages).  I feel a bit too stink to start writing stuff though and not follow through.
I don't think it would be all due to us, just that other people have other interests or get their needs fulfilled elsewhere.
This forum might start seeing a little more activity over Christmas when the experts are away.
That sounds like some other sites where there may only be one person in a chat room.  Quite sad really.  But sometimes people don't even bother to log out and people thinks there's still someone there.
Do you think it would seem a bit strange if the founder disappeared?  Maybe then they would have to give the role to their new user name?
Sometimes I wonder why you started this group as sometimes I think a journal would be as effective.
I need to go do some work.  I was suppose to be helping tidy up the place for when my brother and his g/f come in a couple of days time.  It just hasn't been happening.  I have zero motivation.  Strange really because usually I would care -a lot.
Catch you later.

I agree. I worry too about people leaving. I'd feel pretty bad if that happens and with my luck it could. I already get rejected enough in real life. I don't need it here. I don't know maybe I'm taking this all to personally. I can't help it. That's just how I am. I'll think that I must be boring or lame or sound stupid or something. I'm sure I'll blame myself even if it really isn't my fault. I know I shouldn't feel that way but it would make me feel as I failed or something. That I didn't do a good job with this forum. I shoudn't feel that way. I just get so excited when someone joins. Like maybe this forum ain't so lame after all. Maybe it was a good idea. I was hesitant on creating this forum. I wasn't sure if it would be concidered a good idea or not. I sometimes see forums with only one person the creatator of it sit there alone from months ago and of course I worried that could happen here. But I'll feel somewhat relieved if there is at least one other person on here than just me. But I hope that no one leaves, even if they don't want to talk. It's ok. I mean I hope they do. I'd love to hear from them but if they don't want to it's ok. Maybe some members are shy or have other reasons for not typing. Maybe they want to know more about us. We do tell some personal stuff and I'm sure we both feel exposed sometimes. But hey there is one bright side if I end up looking like a loser I can always get a new screen name. That's the good thing about internet chatting. If you blow it you can always start agian. Maybe someday I'll be up to showing my most personal experiances. After all I did go this far.

I guess some do.  My biggest fear is that they do and then don't care for what they read and then leave.  I think more than anything it leaves me feeling a little vulnerable/ exposed.
I guess that is what I do in my own life, or rather have done.  It is easier to criticize someone for participating and making a mistake than to make your own.  It doesn't really help you to learn or grow though.
When I posted all those other headings I guess I wasn't expecting everyone to comment on all of them all the time.  It seems to have diluted our own discussions somewhat.

Ok. Hopefully you feel up to writing more tomorrow. Do you wonder if any of the other members read our posts? Sometimes I do. I'm ok with that though but like I said it would be great if some commented. Anyway I hope we get to talk tomorrow.

Sorry for not writing much today.  My doctor gave me some antihistamines for hay fever and it has completely wiped me out.  Just sleeping mostly.  I don't have a runny nose or itchy eyes anymore but I can't stay awake either.
