i think we are being too hard on ourselves. this is a major thing we all have to deal with, and if it means we have to try really hard each day to get through the day, then so be it.
at the end of the day, we are stronger people for all the pain we go through, and i think we are more empathetic.
but yes....it is a common feeling i get when im having a rough day, no matter how much i try to put a positive spin on things!

I think Eledee is spot on when she says we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves. Don't we deserve a bit of credit for having to fight anxiety everyday?
I also get depressed when I see my friends getting on with their lives while I'm stuck at year 1 of university but then I remember they don't have to fight anxiety everyday like we do and that makes me feel a bit better.

I got in to phase when i think that everything i do (or might do, or might will do?!) is a waste of time. Like i m suffering from serious identity crisis or even something much worse. I worry about everybody and everything and wherever i look i find bad aspect of it . Like my mind became mazohistic. I cant think of anything that would give me optimism.

In a word: yes. But, yeah, we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves - it's similar to someone having to deal with any other kind of disability. It isn't our fault we're like this - we're not to blame. Sure it's frustrating - but wouldn't any other disability be frustrating?

SA stops me from doing so much I would otherwise do, im 25 and its controlling my life. Proffesionally and socially.
If I didnt have SA and various other things associated with it I would be working my dream job, making loads of money, going out with my friends all the time, meeting people, travelling around the world, id be looking at getting married, having a family, ect. Waoh what a different path that would be.
"Yes" would be pretty accurate for me :lol:

I'm 27 and before i know it i'll be 30. A lot of people i know of have more established lives at my age...Married, have children...I compare myself to my parents who were married at 22 and were buying their first house and i think..Shit! I'm 27 and i have never even had a girlfriend o'r have never moved from home! I feel so lame compared to other people.
Anxiety/depression has taken so many things from my life, such as when i was in college. I spent the two years in college unable to concentrate on anything but my problems. I was more concerned about whether people accepted me than doing well. The same went with my hobbies. I used to be an avid cyclist but i was so mentally and physically drained of energy i could barely get out of bed in the mornings, leave alone pedal a bicycle for miles.

i dont think that fighting this SA is wasting our life, its just another challenge i guess, but with that attitude we are never gonna make a change really, well if you want to change or overcome this at all.
