Interests
Swimming. Films. I find it difficult to pursue interests generally as the things that interest me involve other people. At the moment due to social anxiety I just can't do those things. Would like to do some volunteer work once I've made some progress Other than the few interests I have there is little I enjoy doing. I feel very empty inside. This isn't episodic. I've always felt this way and it creates a lot of anxiety because I can't 'lose' myself in anything.

Close Personality Disorders
I've been diagnosed as having traits from a number of personality disorders (NPD, BPD, APD) and these aspects of my personality do, greatly, impair my ability to function. They have done since I was a child.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- It's tricky. I do crave attention (NPD, BPD) and have labile emotions so when I talk about myself I will generally feel 'happy' if not excited. I try and suppress this as it just adds to the spiritual pain. So, I only talk to a couple of people about it. I'm really trying to focus on others and try to be generous and caring.
- Meditation Considering
Close Insomnia
Have had insomnia for 11 years. Started suddenly one night seemingly without reason. The last few months havent been sleeping for more than 4 or 5 hours over the course of the nite which isn't enough for me.Its a very light sleep- I'm always half awake
Treatments

- Took this off and on for a number of years and very effective. Recently took it again but had no effect. Its long-working and would always feel chemical tiredness the next day. Horrible taste in mouth

Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
I can't leave my room until I've checked to make sure no one else is around. I've never had a panic attack but suffer from some of the symptoms. I also have a low self-esteem; feel inferior, etc. I'm fearful of a lot of things, situations. I would like to change this and become more rational.
