Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Security update: At around 2:28AM EST, the site was labeled as malicious by Google erroneously, causing users to get a "Dangerous site" warning in most browsers. It appears that this was done by mistake and has been reversed by Google. It may take a few hours for you to stop seeing those warnings.
If you're still getting these warnings, please let a member of staff know.
I try to take a deep breath and imagine I'm floating on a cloud while listening to my favorite songs. I end up being transported, in my brain, to a calm place where there are no problems. The problem is that even this is becoming difficult and I need to concentrate more because if I continue to see no sense in all this here, I will be another distant and fleeting memory.
The disassociation may be a self-protection mechanism. Depression may be circumstantial or biological, anxiety may have a biological or developmental cause, however, experimentation in how to create a safe environment where you can be certain of control may be a way to lower anxieties.
If you attend an AA meeting, you might see that others have found alcohol to contribute to disassociation, depression, and only temporarily numb anxiety.
You might consider creating a small corner of your life for experimentation like joining a weekly reading group that meets at a library, doing volunteer work, taking a liesure learning class, or visiting a bible study. Such social dabbling might open up opportunities that you did not expect.
