Well Delilah congrats on 20 days! My hope is to join you tomorrow. I planned on not picking up today but that didn't go to good. Today ended up so complicated when all I wanted was simple. A few of my friends just had to have problems all on the same day.i let their bs totally absorb all of my energy. My fault because I don't know how to set boundaries.my gf is furious because she doesn't understand y I feel the need to help everyone else but myself. The I need to save the world syndrome is not working for her. I help a lot of people. I wish I could figure out what to do for myself. I'm thinking if we could just get anti depressants right I would be much more even. I was doing pretty good till I started getting headaches from the Zoloft

Because of severe social anxiety, you'd happily be a recluse, yet you have a need to help everyone, can't set boundaries, and let your friends problems become yours.

Some contradictions here. Perhaps therapy, not meds, would help.
