stop drinking or doing drugs, it’ll make it worse. you’ll be ok!
I'm not taking drugs, but should i drink until i pass out ? To be honest i really want to, if i could have health issues it would be nice
it could make your dpdr worse when you wake up. i advice against it
Yeah but could it make it easier for right now ?
likely not
You are real bro. You need to go outside and walk for a like 10 min put the booze down. Your anxiety is up and up now.
Definitely a good time to quit drinking
Ok. Very good, you are going good. For the people in the street problem, put on your hoodie, maybe listen to some music you love with earphones, walk with ease and don't mind other people, think that they don't mind you. Look your feet, concentrate on your breath and soon you be alone in the nature, by a river, in the woods If you like, talk me about your surroundings... Where are you living? Can you see the trees changing colors in autumn? Listen to the sound of the waters? Feel the change in the air when the weather change? Don't concentrate on people... Notice the small beauty around you. Listen, close your eyes. I'm here if you want 😊
I live in the surroundings of Paris, in a middle-sized city. I know a place ~30 mins away (with a bike) which is almost everytime empty, in the middle of a forest and next to a river, I used to often go there because it helped me feel better, but I didnt go there for a long time because I was busy and didnt really want to go outside for the past few months. I'll try to go as you recommended, maybe tonight, it is possible that going out at night will be easier than in the middle of the day.
I'm sorry for my english i'm really bad in general plus i'm drunked so it's worst, i consider drinking more and more until my health is in danger, i dont want to stay here anymore, i like my friends but i dont know i cant handle it anymore
3 hours ago. are you feeling any better? if not honestly i advise making an excuse to your friends and safely go somewhere more secluded if you can.
Yes i just woke up, fortunatly I had a friend to rely on, idk what would have happened if not. I'll still try to go home as sooner as possible. Thanks.
How are you feeling today?
To be honest, bad. I left early thanks to a friend who I told everything if she were not here I know for sure that things would have ended in a really bad way. The travel time was awful, I was totally in spectator mode, everything I saw and did seemed fake af more than usual, it was not a feeling anymore, it was a fact in my brain. I got home few minutes ago and I have the same sensation, but hopefully, there's not anyone here, I currently dont want to see anyone if possible, I feel like I dont want to go out ever I dont know why but that feeling is really strong
I am so sorry for you. Try to not drink for a certain amount of time, and reduce screen time. Try to go into the nature, a forest, the sea, don't know where you live, but I often find relief being without phone, without no one, simply alone into natural environments. Sorry for my bad English.
I'd like to but I dont really want to go outside for now, I just want to stay in my room as much as I can.
Do it anyway. One step. Try to do lists on your head, small steps and follow just the next thing in the list. For example, start with putting on your shoes. Done? Great! Congratulate yourself, you made it. Then reach the door. Just one-step at a time. Done? Wonderful! Go on and on this way.
I tried to do as you said because I had something to do irl i couldnt avoid (things would have gotten worst if I didnt go), I had to walk for 15 mins, what you said worked at the beginning but when I started seeing people in the street it hadnt any effect, and now i know that i should definitely avoid seeing people. Your suggestion of going in nature, alone is really nice, i'd like to and I think i would definitely be able to, but I cant go without passing by streets and places full of people and I dont want to
Great places, countryside in France! We are not so far, I live in Switzerland and I speak French too. I hope you will go there, find some peace of mind, reconnect with the earth. In Japan they do something called "bath forest" it seems wonderful for soul and mind 😊 I'm looking forward to ear some news from you. I'd really enjoy to see some pictures of your surroundings if you like!
I'm currently outside, i'd like to send you pictures but it's already too dark so you won't be able do see anything.. I'll take some when I can I promise. It was easier to travel in bike, I had less trouble passing by places crowded with people (it wasnt easy but I could do it at least) I still feel strange as usual, but at least not bad, so it is a nice beginning. Thanks for the advice.
I'm so happy you are outside! Thank you for the feedback. I know how things appear to be bizarre to people like us, but please reminder is not really dangerous, it's just a moment in your life. Just impressions. Keep strong my friend. Seek for beauty in the nature, art, music, whatever. Don't mind other people, it is just us for a moment in time and space on this little planet called earth. Enjoy the ride 😊
I'm sorry to disappoint you, everything was fine as I said before until I start heading back home. During a few minutes i was fine, but then I arrived at a big place crowded of car, all the roads were full of car, I have to pass by this place to arrive to a road that no one ever take, which is really nice, but I started to panic just before crossing one of the 3 roads, the first one was mentally hard but bearable (I was walking to cross them, I couldnt stay on my bike), but before crossing the third I was litteraly falling on my bike, it was supporting me, without it I would have fallen on the road. I was having a panic attack. I couldnt breath well at all, my strenght left me and everything was blurry. I made it throught the road safely, I could arrive to the small path that no one takes I talked about before. There, I fell (smoothly, I knew it would happen so I was still walking and not riding my bike). Thats where i've been sitting for the last 15-20 minutes. I can breath without problem now, I'll head home soon.
You don't disappoint me at all! You will try again and again, and at some point this shit will be gone. I promise you. Write me whenever you want. Stay safe
Ehy buddy how are you? Comment ça va?

Hi, sorry for not giving news, i didnt want to bother you.. I know that you will probably tell me that i dont but i cant convince myself, it's the case for everyone, even my closest friends, it's not a trusting issue (but i dont know why i'm like that). But thanks for asking. Really. I'm fine, and what about you ? I'm going to school again since monday, i was really scared at first but it's fine overall. Every morning were hard, i still have my trouble with car and people in the street, but when i get in the bus, it goes away, i'm totally fine in and attending to classes is not really hard. Except very early in the morning when walking in the streets (~25 mins) my last few days were just fine. My biggest issue is before sleeping, when lying in my bed, i'm used to hear voices before sleeping so it is not really disturbing, but theses days it is really more disturbing than usual, and visual hallucination came back, it is not the first time, but it really creeps me out, i have trouble sleeping because of thoses both issues.
Sounds great, thanks for the update, I'm really happy to hear that!
I planned to go out with friends tomorrow at night, but i dont know, i dont feel it at all, i have the feeling that i shouldnt go. I feel like they all hate me, it is not a feeling anymore, it is a fact i cant overcome. It is better for everyone if i dont go

I'm sorry can i talk to you for a bit ? My state is currently really really really bad

Man I dont know i want to die so hard, you dont know me so dont be pressured or stressed i'm just a random guy you dont know, i dont know whats going on they all went sleeping, but i'm still drinking, idk i just want to pass out, i want everyone notice that there's a big problem
