Has anybody actually gone out and tried to get help with their

I improved myself by spending months talking to random strangers on Omegle, forming a conversation voice, a way of talking to people, and then after a while real life situations became slightly easier.

That's another problem i have though, i don't care for human interaction really. It's too stressful and pointless to me.

I literally don't want anything for my life.

Then maybe you don't want to make friends?

Unless you're depressed (you mentioned SSRIs). In that case, I recommend dealing with the depression simultaneously, and easing into it. You might feel more motivated then.

Don't they give you SSRI for anxiety?

I don't care for humans but I know I have to interact with them especially when I get any type of job.

Don't worry about medicating yourself. There's nothing wrong with you, only your circumstances. You are in fact the sole force of righteousness within this universe. What I mean by that is you only have your feelings by way of navigating the place; and if your feeling is fear, it's so for a reason. Your fear is your best friend, since it's what keeps you alive. Dulling it with drugs or other mass delusions can only worsen the real problem.

Yes, I got a job in retail.
6 months later I started feeling ok, year later I'm confident, 2 years later fears all but go... Still get a odd day but that mush better than everyday.

Job in retail actually might help best, I was much the same, awkward and shit.

Got a job in sales and all that shit went away.

Didn't deal with my depression at all, stress was still pretty bad. But at least I could interact with people and not feel like shit about it.

I like you

>Don't they give you SSRI for anxiety?
They can, but there are whole other classes of medications out there, both for anxiety and for depression, that can also be tried.

SSRIs are brain-killing drugs for many people: you have to have exactly the right forms of depression for them to qork properly, and even then your dosage must not be too high (nor too low, or they just won't work, but that's a different problem). But when properly administered in the right kind of case, they're as close to the opposite of brain-killing as one gets. You just need the right match.

I know all of this but I'm stuck in a loop I can't get out of

If I had benzos I'd be fine but le short term

What's the issue?

>>16672144
I'm stuck in a constant surrounding of negativity my entire life and have social anxiety/general anxiety and so I can't just get a job and leave.

>>16672179
Yeah, me too. But if you want to join a new tribe, you're going to have to pull hard. Those charismatic people who make friends easily are pulling hard. That's life. Strangers are dangerous.

There is no easy fix.

I tried so hard, and got so far. In the end it doesn't even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all. In the end, it doesn't even mateeerrrrrRRRRRrrrrRRRrrr

God I have generalized anxiety disorder, and my social anxiety goes into full retard when I'm in a work setting. Whenever there is some expectation put on me, I'm freaking out inside because I know I won't be good enough. Why live...

>>16672186
I don't even know where to start with anything

I've never been taught how to be a normie or get a job. I've been alone my whole lyf.

I feel simultaneously like I'll be doing the wrong thing if I do or don't get help, but it's easier and less frightening to do nothing.

One day doing nothing will no longer be an option. But that is not this day.

this is what scares me

Like the other anons in this thread, I got a job in retail which forces me to interact and socialize with people/strangers. I took it to challenge myself, like jumping into the deep end if the pool. I also initially walked myself into the local mental health centre for youths, and had a few sessions with their counselors and psychologists.

Another thing that may or may not have helped me were drugs. Acid, mdma, and ketamine seem beneficial when used properly. I only take them once every few (3-6) months. But I would strongly advise you not to take any of these while yon SSRIs. It can be dangerous.

Healthy alternatives are also:
-exercise
-eating well
-sleeping earlier

I still struggle to do those 3 above, but I'm gradually getting there. Baby steps, my friend :)

How do I find a dealer? I live in the slums so there's probably nothing but crack and shitty weed.
