Is it solo therapy? Like, not group or anything? Sounds like you need someone more understanding to help you. :/
I try to smile and be polite whenever I can, it's just getting to talk to people or go be social that I have a problem with.

Hehe yep. Better be on the safe side. :3

yeah it's solo therapy until i get confidant enough to merge into a group setting. A group setting would be beneficial but i need to learn how to tame my social anxiety first, otherwise i'm liable to hyperventilate or have a heart attack.. which would kinda defeat the purpose of therapy lmao :P

I'm always polite and courteous to people when I'm out and about, i have no issues purchasing things for myself or walking around by myself (which I told her) it seems that the more powerful/authoritative a person is the worse my anxiety is, or if I feel a person doesn't like me or when I get bad vibes from them.

i think the best thing for her to do would be to set up random appointments with people and have them interview me, walking up and down a half-dead shopping mall and purchasing a candy bar isn't going to do anything for me.

i'll give her a few more sessions to start listening to what I'm trying to tell her, after that i'll switch therapists if she's still being hard-headed. She's nice but she needs to listen more than she has been or i'm not going to get the help i desparately need.

and it's definately better to be safe than sorry, so far my item stock looks to be pretty worthy, the key is figuring out what i'm going to do with it now that i don't want to play gaia anymore. I might just split the items down the middle and pass them on to sarah and tristian (two of my good blog buddies who play on there) at least that way they still get some use so my money wasn't shelled out for nothing.

Heh, yeah. I don't really know what it is that triggers my anxiety, but just the thought of going to school or work can give me panic attacks sometimes. I had to cut down on work this summer because I was suffering from it quite badly by the end of it. So I had to take Wednesdays off during the last week. Thankfully my boss was very understanding and I just worked a few extra days to make up for it.
I think it often has to do with doing the same thing again, seeing the same people again. I get most anxious around people I sort of know, but are not quite friends. The people at school you know in sight and may have talked to a couple of times but nothing more, or the customers who come in quite regularly. I have no problem with complete strangers though.
I hope the sessions work out for you, would be a let-down if you had to start all over again with a new therapist. :/

Hehe, I don't know what I'd do with my Gaia stuff if I quit. As it is, I don't really chat on there that much. But I've spent so much time and money on the items I have, I can't really just.. leave them. I don't even have any friends on there I really know enough to give my stuff to. Maybe I'd just do a charity for clever nooblings or whatever.



comotized 11-05-2008 03:25 AM

mine's opposite, my anxiety is most triggered by people I don't know. I'm hoping it'll work out with my current therapist but if not it's no big deal, i'll just make them give me another one and keep trying until i find one that works for me.

i don't chat on gaia at all, the conversation over there is just too annoying. filled with teeny-bopper arguments, cyber sex and massive amounts of bumping for gold.. there's no real conversation that i can find to get into over there so I just gave up. I hate to leave because i've spent a lot of time and money as well but it just isn't worth it to me anymore ya know?

ljosberinn 11-05-2008 03:45 AM



Definitely worth starting over and over again if it means in the end you'll find someone who will be able to help you properly, of course.

Yes, I know what you mean. It's been a long while since I stopped going to the forums, but I've occasionally had a look at a couple of guilds I'm a member of that had some intelligent people. Seems like everyone else is thinking along the same lines though, the guilds are slowly dying it seems. And I'm not interested enough to spend time reviving them, to be honest.
It is a real shame though, since Gaia does have a lot to offer and their items are often quite amazing. Still, I think too much of it is starting to revolve around items you can only buy for Gaia cash, their regular shops don't get too much of the fancy items because they're too busy making the evolving items. And I think there are way too many of those, too, it's become one big money-sucking-machine. :/

God, either the Internet is dead at this hour on weekdays, or everyone is busy watching the elections. I've actually started organizing my playlists on iTunes, which is such a massive amount of stuff to go through I've been putting it off for far too long.



comotized 11-05-2008 04:52 AM

yeah gaia is starting to focus on real money way too much, like the new aquarium feature, you can't buy anything for those with gaia gold which is completely unfair. not everyone has money to spend on a game ya know?

I was excited when the aquarium came out only to be super disappointed when I found out I couldn't buy anything for it.

swapping therapists should be interesting at least, it's shitty to have to start over but if i get the results i want at the end it's totally worth it!

ljosberinn 11-05-2008 04:57 AM



Yeah. I don't know. I think the aquarium is a cute idea, but it's too heavy for my browser and it requires a lot of regular attention. If it was real fish, I'd have no problem feeding it but as it's something that may cause my browser to crash, I can hardly be bothered.
I really really want to try out the new google browser, I'm just waiting for them to complete a Mac version. It's supposedly really good for stuff like Flash, videos, etc.
But yeah, not everyone has the money, especially not young teens, which is the majority of the Gaia population. It's really quite silly.



comotized 11-05-2008 06:00 AM

oh it's deffinately heavy, i'm on dialup so i know exactly what you mean lmao

the google browser isn't bad but I still prefer my firefox over any browser. I have google chrome, opera, safari and ie for backup though hehe

ljosberinn 11-05-2008 01:32 PM



That's a lot of browsers. xD I prefer Safari over all the browsers I've used, but I also have Camino. I can't seem to be able to get it to support Icelandic letters though.

*Yaaaaawn* So tired. I wonder what I should do today.. I need to book the studio at least for tomorrow. Hmm.



comotized 11-07-2008 09:15 AM

lol yeah, i do a little web design so having a lot of browsers to test stuff in is a must. i like safari but i can't pimp it out like i can firefox and i love my twitter, plurk and brief plugins. i'm a social gal and like to keep up to date with my communities :D

I'm tired too, we finally found (and got, thank god!) an apartment today so we had to run around everywhere paying for cable, phone, electric, etc. I did try to go to bed early but as usual my insomnia said 'nope, not happenin missy!"

go figure lol

ljosberinn 11-07-2008 09:59 PM



Ah I see. I'm well busy enough with the stuff I already have, so I'm not even going to check some of that stuff out. :Ð

Congratulations on the apartment! I hope moving went well?
I went to Brighton today to meet a friend, a girl I got to know through Mene actually! It was really nice. Even if the trip back was freezing cold.



poet`s playground 11-09-2008 01:36 AM

Oh wow, haha... *just stares in awe at the present conversation*. You two are very loquacious.

ljosberinn 11-09-2008 03:30 PM



We are?

Mmm, I bought shiny things today, and relaxing things. I've been having so much trouble with my sleeping pattern so I bought some St. John's Wort tablets. I really hope they'll help me relax enough to fall asleep at a decent hour. I also went to this really sweet Christmas market fair that is in town and bought a heat bag that is actually a very soft and cuddly lamb! You heat it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and it stays hot for an hour, can't wait to try it tonight. So soft. xD
Then I bought one of these small leatherbound notebooks with recycled paper, one small for me and a bigger, purple one with an inset stone as a Christmas present for a friend of mine. And I even took some pictures around town, so I'm feeling very shiny and happy. Now I just need to get my laundry done and cook something for dinner, and my mood will be perfected - and hopefully, as a result, not as tense as usual. I really need to get my ass to class tomorrow morning. xP



poet`s playground 11-09-2008 04:38 PM

Yes, your posts are very long XD.

ljosberinn 11-09-2008 04:59 PM



Long post is looooooooooooooong.
I like long. :3



poet`s playground 11-09-2008 05:01 PM

That sounded more wrong than it should have. x_x.

ljosberinn 11-09-2008 10:56 PM



Yes, I realized just as I hit the Post button. .______.


I have a warm lamb on my neck, I cleaned my room so well earlier it almost SHINES and I'm actually feeling quite drowsy - and it's not even midnight yet! Mmm, this is a very nice feeling.



poet`s playground 11-09-2008 11:14 PM

A warm lamb?

ljosberinn 11-09-2008 11:41 PM



The one I bought today, I mentioned it earlier. I've named it Lambrekur. :3



poet`s playground 11-09-2008 11:44 PM

Hmmmm... I'll take your word for it, haha. Sorry; I'm a little tired.

Strawberry Octopus 11-09-2008 11:48 PM

poet`s playground 11-09-2008 11:51 PM

comotized 12-26-2008 12:29 PM
