Forced myself to go outside and play in a social tennis session earlier. Enjoyed it but it was a brief respite. I hate when it ends, and I get in my car and return home alone. Tired of the loneliness. Not sure about the rest of you without partners, but I seem to see couples everywhere! Feel like such a worthless failure, haven't had a relationship for 18 years now.
Worried I'll be made redundant soon. Last week I did 30 minutes of "work" the entire week. I feel guilty as it feels I'm not earning my salary. My bosses are supposedly happy with my performance, but I feel like such a fraud. Surely, they realise how little I do. Maybe redundancy would be ideal as it will force my hand to have another attempt, I wouldn't want to look for another job.
I currently work from home, have two bosses who tell me on a Monday what needs to be done by Friday and leave me to it. I have no colleagues or clients I deal with. Quite lonely and isolated but ideal for social anxiety, I guess. I don't think I'd be able to find another job like this, I've had this work setup for such a long time. I wouldn't want to go for interviews or work in an office setting ever again. Just thinking of my old open plan office makes me feel ill.
I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle. "Work", tennis, gym, sit in bedroom alone. "Work", tennis, gym, sit in bedroom alone. Only do tennis and gym to try and distract from the loneliness. Took them up after my failed attempt to try and work on my social anxiety and perhaps make friends or find a partner, neither of which has happened. Hey, look at me outside, doing normal people things.
The only person I talk to aside from my bosses on a Monday is my counsellor on Tuesday's. Not looking forward to seeing her this week as each session has started to feel the same. I don't think there will be any answers or solutions to be found here.
Had a couple of heart palpitations earlier which has raised my anxiety, I hope I don't start getting them regularly again. I don't want to live this way for the next 30/40 years, I feel like something will give soon.
