Ugh. Things are worse than ever.

I've been trying more than ever to get over my social anxiety, but somehow this has made things even worse.

All my old friends from school have stopped contacting me. I know that if I picked up the phone and called them, they'd be glad to talk to me. It just sucks to know that I'm always the one that has to initiate contact.

I've been trying to get out and go to social events, but it never goes well. I went to a potluck with people from my program the other day, and I left it feeling like a huge failure. I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise the entire night, and everyone else seemed so close and comfortable.

Plus things are really bad in my personal life. My dad is officially homeless. He lives in his van now. I don't know what to do, and I have no one to talk to about it.

I keep telling myself I just have to keep trying, and eventually something good will happen. I've just been trying so damn long.

I really hate the idea of going on medication. And I have tried therapy in the past, and it hasn't had any effect, probably because it was just the free therapy offered by my school. It sucks because I can't afford to see an actual psychiatrist.
