@matigo No it’s not. But I have to give it a go, I also need to sort out a proper diagnosis for my anxiety. But, at the same time I didn’t realise that anxiety/depression are also symptoms of Hashimoto’s, which I also have.
@hybotics I don’t think it’s odd. In fact I kinda feel the same way. I find it hard to trust people at the best of times and maybe that’s the reason why I only have a few offline friends I can truly relate to. Then there’s my online friends - you guys - I’ve been through some tough times and I’m really glad I have all of you to get me through.

@matigo Fair enough. I should probably get some bloodwork done to make sure all my health related stuff is going ok. I’ve been thinking about seeing a new GP since mine is becoming increasingly harder to see as she only works part time and during the week.
@hybotics I’ve been watching many psychology videos on YouTube, not only to learn more about me and my introverted qualities but how to identify and deal with certain behaviours in people. It seems to be working well. There’s a couple of channels I’m now subscribed to as a result.

@hybotics It’s completely unfair that those people in particular are using your disability against you. It’s tough to sit back while things take place but I really hope all the legal stuff goes your way and you can find some kind of happiness in all of this.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen me mention the slow fade process I’m going through with one of my “friends”. It’s tough but it’s something I felt like I needed to do. I’ve even been taking an earlier train to work cause I know he won’t be there. Maybe the break will make us both see a bit more clarity and if we ever get back to being friends again, it might be different but we’ll see.
@hybotics I’m sorry you are experiencing this too. I hope both of us can get in a better headspace soon.

@matigo This is true to an extent. To think that someone can mess with your mind that much and you don’t know how to come back from it sometimes is really hard.
// @hybotics
@sumudu but that’s ok though, right? I think for me especially at the moment there’s a lot I need to get out, so I’ll probably use this exercise as a dumping ground so to speak and then create a daily habit out of it.
// @matigo
@matigo I agree wholeheartedly with this. I’ve been learning about the power of narcissistic behaviours and going through the slow fade process with a person I used to be able to call a friend is proving to be a good exercise. I didn’t realise I was subjecting myself to such abuse until now.
