Too sensitive to function in the world
| Mon, 05-01-2006 - 2:37pm |
First, I want to apologize for posting so much. Just so much going on. And too much for me to handle.
I think I'm too sensitive to function in the world. When something bad happens, I OBSESS over it...I can't stop thinking about it! For instance, I keep worrying about what happened at work Sat., I can't get it out of my head, it's like a broken record. And thinking about it is so stressful, but I can't stop.
I really don't know how much longer I can function in the world, I'm not really doing it now. I don't have a good job, I hate driving, I'm filled with worry and stress.
Does anyone else feel this way?????

Hi Blue,
First don't apologize for posting so much. You kept this board alive while I was unable to tend to it. And your problems and thoughts have value. Don't diminish that by apologizing for posting.
I definately understand how you feel. I tend to ruminate a lot too. The simplest little thing and I'll be obssessing for hours or days and as my therapist said, the rest of the world has probably forgotten all about it by now.
Don't know what to suggest, but wanted to let you know I understand and am here to listen any time.
Lori,
I do try to take it one day at a time. I'm not good at thought stopping though- I can't seem to do it.
Schitz,
"First don't apologize for posting so much."
It's my worrying too much again- now I'm worrying about taking up too much board time. But then again, if someone else wants to post they can, right? I was waiting for "my turn" so to speak, for others to post first, but it seems like no one else wanted to and I could'nt wait any longer.
Sometimes I worry that no one on the board likes me becasue only you and Lori respond to my posts! It is just like real life- but not as bad becuase it's online. I'm really glad you and Lori are so supportive.
Blue,
I know that sometimes we feel like people don't like us because they don't post but I'm sure that's not so. Maybe people are too wrapped up in their own lives to post. In general as a society we are. Don't worry about waiting your turn, you're right, others can post if they want to. Also think about the fact that even though people aren't responding to your posts, they're not posting their own posts either, so I would try not to take it personally although I know exactly how you feel and understand. I'm starting to feel this way about my friends. I'm BPD so I tend to see things in black and white terms. So either my friends are a god or are the worst people out there. I also tend to assume that they are thinking the worst about me, which is generally not the case. Keep posting, who cares what anyone else thinks!
