Weekly Tuesday Meet 11/26 - Stouts

I think you're fine, you seem to have chilled out a bit in the last while -- you're wouldn't be the first person by far to start out rough and end up just fine here. I wouldn't let it stop you from going to any events.

 

And if you want some unsolicited feedback, I'd say you could post a little less often but more meaningfully -- like someone else said don't overthink things quite so much, just do it; you learn by doing stuff and learning from the experience, even if it means getting burnt occasionally.

 

Being a 16 year old dealing with depression and slight social anxiety, It's hard to meet new people. I always tell myself, "I'll go this week" but I end up bailing because there's that's light tick in my brain.

 

Nothing abnormal about having depression shaken and stirred with anxiety. I have to deal with it too. Just have to ignore your doubts and come out.

Protip : Meditating really helps relieve anxiety/depression/ and stress.

 

I take anti-depressants, and if they don't help, driving helps me relieve stress. Tried meditating for a week or two, didn't really notice any differences.

 

Lately I have been resistant to want to get medicated if I don't have too. Due to the price of some of these scripts, the side effects that come with it. Newp. Finding things that bring you joy / interest you is a good way to keep yourself busy. I hit the gym regularly too. That straightens me out when I feel as if I am derailing. Plenty of constructive ways to approach it though. if rx meds work for you then thats what works though. just remember google is your friend.

 

Usually I have a list of backup plans if anything doesn't work. If I'm too depressed to drive, I'll usually just sit on my chair and play video games, maybe even prop up some math homework.

Usually never makes it past that, but if I'm ever pissed/stressed to all hell, I'll hit the weights and hope I don't want to strangle a kitten after an hour or so.

 

I hate the majority of people, too.

I mean.... social anxiety or whatever....

Idk if youve met these guys but they're awfully unassuming laid back folks. No one to impress or look cool in front of or anything like that. Just show up and talk **** about your own car and what you've dealt with while owning it and you'll do fine.

 

@MinnesotaFTW if you want to come with me next time u head out I'm in your area. I was the same way and now these guys have got me through some really rough patches. They have done more than my family has. Just gotta say screw it and have a blast. Show people you changed and they can forgive trust me
