You are being hard on yourself calling yourself a loser... you are not... some days are good ... some days are bad... you had a bad day... maybe next week you can go to cricket... maybe you need some encouragement...

take care

Perhaps you should find some activity that you do want / are prepared to undertake. Cricket may have to wait and maybe you're over it.

You are no way a loser. It is the depression that is affecting you/your social situations. We all go through it and some of us end up phobic because of our depression. I know you are not phobic - just uncomfortagle with your cousins. I am phobic and know what it is like to not have social contact. Chat with the psychologist about it and hopefully you will feel better about it then.

Go Omar!!!

Hey omar .sorry to hear you had a bad day about not going to cricket. but don,t bash yourself up about it.You did give it your best and you gave it a go, just because you have no control on some things does not mean you are powerless to try something else.lt is hard when you feel you have let yourself down to forge ahead . But 100% for giving it a go in the first place .Wishing all the best take care

Hello,

Please do not call yourself a loser, this only confirms your FALSE negative perception of yourself. You and everyone on this site are beautiful people, we are just not well.

Like cate said, yes you are being too hard on yourself. Just because you have one bad day it doesn't mean you are back to square one. You are allowed to have a bad day, sometimes it is too hard but the fact you are willing to discuss all this openly with your psych is great! Talking and even writing on here is a great effort on your part, keep it up.

You are doing better than you think, I do think you need to push yourself to socialize only because I know it improves your mood more than sitting around can. However one day at a time, when you start to love yourself more, it will be easier to socialize.

Yesterday I had a terrible day, my mum forced me to go to my Salsa class, It was hard, it was so hard going in public and just getting out there, but honestly when I was done I felt sooo much better.

Be kind to yourself ok, remember tomorrow is a new day.
