I have to say the original Alien and The Thing are both pretty great.

Same thing I am doing (studying for) now. Being a teacher.

Thank you. I started with reading a book about overcoming fears but working on my self esteem seems like the obvious next step. Is there any book of Nathaniel Branden I should start with or an order I should keep?

Thank you. I might come back to your offer.

Thank you. I will give my best.

I feel you. I can still remember how long it took me once to call a barber to make an appointment. I later decided to let me hair grow out just so I don’t have to make appointments any more.

I recently moved back in with my mother after living on my own for a few years. I kind of know how you feel. But as @bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml said there are people out there who won’t have a problem with your situation. Someone who is so shallow that they can’t accept your circumstances won’t be a good partner anyway.

Thank you that is very kind.

Thank you for the advice. I will try this exercise next time.

YES! We will both make it. Thank you for the uplifting words and I am terribly sorry what happened to you.

Thank you. I made your answer my mobile backround so “I can read it until I understand it with my heart”.

Thank you. You are right, nothing worth it was achieved in a single day. I will get better even if it takes a while.

Thank you for the advice I will follow it. Regarding the books I am not 100% sure what it is. When I introduced myself and problems to my therapist she listed some issues I might have but she wasn’t sure herself yet. Would it help you if I describe my panic attacks and when they appear?

Whenever I read something with “… Industrial Complex” at the end I have to read it with David Hayter’s voice. Imagining Snake ranting about Party FOMO is hilarious. Thank you for the smile.

Thank you. I would send a virtual hug back but there seems to be no other picture on the internet of a cat and a capybara cuddling. If you need someone new to talk to send me message. I think it’s helpful for both of us if we try talking to strangers 😄

I know this sounds strange, because it would be a lot better if no one had anxiety issues to begin with but I am glad knowing that there are other people who have my problems who have recovered. It gives me hope that I will do the same.

Thank you. I will start therapy in September and since getting a therapy slot I did a lot of reading. This already helped a little bit. I can at least communicate electronically now. I would still be grateful for further help. Got any advice or books that might help?

You are definitely saner than you think. Realising that capitalism is a cancer and seeing through the lies and deceptions of anti communism is something that no insane person would do.

I am glad you got better and I am sure both of us can make it and be healthy one day.

Does Matthew Mercer count?

Don’t look up what happened with Bam Magera then.
