Struggling with this part

I stopped the program around 2 weeks ago because I´m struggling with this part of program 4. I don´t have any particular fear to set on goals. The main problem I have now is social anxiety, but I don´t want to force conversations to happen, things has to happen naturally for me to develop a conversation and for me to enjoy it.

The only other fear I have is to be far for my sos anxiety medication, in case I have a panick attack and don´t have them near me. But I don´t know if this it is good goal.

Struggling with this part

Jay Dee, I wasn´t sure if it would be good to do it, but I think it´s better because I don´t want to stop now. I´m have been progressing in a very good way.

New Goal and exposure plan - Leave medication

I was very happy with the program when I became to the part 6. when it says "A second problem is that subtle avoidance strategies often make it hard for you to take credit for your efforts." I felt understood.

One of my safe object is medication for sos and daily medication. The CBT program is working very well for me and I´m surprised with the results. But from time to time I ask, and if I wasn´t taking medication, were this working too. I can´t give 100% credits for my hard work while I´m on medication, because there is always the doubt, should I give credits to myself or also to medication?

One of my goals is to leave medication, I´m taking a low quantity: 25 mg Anafranil, 10 mg Inderal and 0.5 Rivotril each day.

But when I don´t take Rivotril, I have very difficults on sleeping, it seams that my body is physically dependente of it, and I don´t like it. It seams that I have to find strategies to sleep well without it, this will be my first mini-goal.

I have to tell you that while I was writing this post, this mini-goal appear on my head, so writing this post as already helped me too :)

Struggling with this part

My anxiety have most impact on social life, but it´s more related with core beliefs. I think the rest of my problems is more related with depression so I´m starting reading depressioncenter.net.

Simulating and medication

I´m continuing stuck in point 6. Since my goal of leave medication should take between 12-18 months, when should I start point 7 of the program ? I don´t know if I wait till finish my goal, or start right now. Everithing is running very good and I stopped having panick attacks.

Simulating and medication

I have a goal related with social life, because I´m not able to create empaty with new persons.

I can develop a conversation (making questions, etc) but I can not create interest in other person and be relaxed. When I try and make a short conversation, this person never contact me again to have another short conversation. I not feel relaxed and feel empty of issues to discuss in front of them. Other people seam to feel that, that I´m not with a good energy.

I can force to create short conversations, but may be I don´t seam natural, and other people don´t enjoy contact with me. I also don´t enjoy, is something is not natural in me. I´m with lack of skills to comunicate because of my isolation.

When I force is not a good experience. I can try more times with the same person, but I can not see any evolution from me.

I only can make new friendships with extreme extrovertive personalities, they puy myself in a confortable state.

I think my problem is more related with depression and core beliefs. :(

Less dramatize life

I have a new female friend, from around 6 months, with extreme extorvert personality, with a lot of comunication skills. I admire my friend and wish I have 20% of hers comunication skills. She´s like a seductive personalitie that enchant everybody, from women to men. And she do it eveyday.

Recently she became more close and confident with me. She told me something that surprised me and make me re-think. She has a problem, although her facility to seduce the opposite sex, she is afraid of deseases, so she is a lot of afraid of have intimacy with them. She told me may be she will not be abble to have anithing with no one in the next following years.

I got very surprised because almost every man she is in touch are very curious about her and she could have practically every men she wan´t. Not only because of her standard beauty but because of her enchant personalitie.

The point I´m sharing this is because it seams life puts a big challenge for everybody. She don´t have any social anxiety like I have tons or a lot of us have, but life put her another challenge. She have to face her fear deseases that enable her to have intimacy.

So it seams like life is tricky for everybody.

Simulating and medication

Since it´s dificult for me to do real connections with people, I feel very alone. To increase that I leave alone, have no children. I still have hope I could find someone to create my own family.

I don´t know what do to, I think it´s normal I feel unhappy, like a normal person would feel in my situation. But it´s being very hard to eat every dinner alone, no one to talk.
