I kind of feel maybe I need to stay off the internet for an extended period of time and seek professional help for my anxeity.

I can tell you from someone who has suffered from BDD, low self esteem, and anxiety that this place might be a good form of group therapy. You can still get professional help too in your area. I just think people tend to be more open about themselves if they are around people who understand them. I went to a psychologist and I knew more than him and he was not able to help me. You have to go because you need medication to help your anxiety unless you want to try OTC help. If you think avoiding the internet will help then do it. I don't think you have to go to the trouble of deleting your account. You can just take a break and don't log in here. I do it all the time.
That's true. I was hoping maybe SSRi meds would help me out a lot.. I don't know I'll do a lot more research first.. I just want to be normal.. that's all.
If I went by your definition of normal, I would still not be normal at my age yet I think I am as normal as the average person is these days. I think you should work part time as a personal trainer. You need to help people and be productive. That is why you are struggling right now. You don't have any purpose right now. You are in limbo waiting to do something productive. In the meantime get a job at a gym and help people worse off than you.That's true. I was hoping maybe SSRi meds would help me out a lot.. I don't know I'll do a lot more research first..

Actually, you are absolutely right. I am "para"normal.Naaaaaa, you are not
I know your advice is right. In the summer I made friends with a girl from the gym who is a front of the house manager at a bar here, I wanted to know about bar tending because I felt it would be a great way to get myself out there and she told me she would get me a job as a barback and I could start at the bottom and learn the ropes and then be a bartender, unfortunately I met someone in the summer and I ignored the girl from the gyms texts and we lost contact.. definetely would have taken the job now as I got laid off from oil and gas in September. Thank you for the advice though.
Of course I know.
That's the 'lil devil in you - you know where it hurts the most
I know you're insecure but the fact is women in their 30s who have good genes and who take care of themselves have no trouble getting good sex and getting relationships.
I know, David I'm not that insecure about my age now, at 24, although I know I'm already competing with younger women on some level. I'm content being 24 actually, it's the future I worry about. Anyway, I was referring to Dante's comment about Pas being old at 28. He later said he was joking so it's OK, although he made that comment knowing very well how sensitive the subject of a woman's age is.
The worst was to call me a "balding woman"... it is obviously true! How dare he say the truth to a woman?
Maybe it's just me who's so age obsessed though
This woman is annoying me
She doesn't want to see pics of guys who are naked or are in boxers.
Now look at her pics

I was not when I was 24... then I did not had (or was not aware I had) hair loss! hair loss makes you very conscious of ageing... I really fear ageing since I lose my hair, before I was always feeling like when I was 12, Lol

Since puberty, before going bald, I'd look in the mirror and think "I look better than I did a year ago!".
Since balding, I look in a mirror and think "this is the best I'll ever look".
Although treatments changed that outlook for the moment
