I hope this janitor allows that. I understand where they are coming from saying "go to r9k for greentexts"

Yeah, it's a bit shit because I think these threads are a way that cosplayers and lolitas can talk anonymously about issues that they can't discuss anywhere else. By definition they are on topic, because it's the feelings OF cosplayers and lolitas. When we post feelings ABOUT cosplayers and lolitas it gets shut down for dramamongering.

Anyway to keep this on the approved topic,

Story of my life
I wish I had that one or two friends who would give me the confidence and encouragement to do things

But I just end up doing it alone, and doing it alone makes me feel like an awkward retard so I just dont go.

[Anonymous No.8325690]

I want to quit cosplay and get into actual clothing design and branch off and make my own clothing line like Volante did but I love too much shit and cosplay is too much fun. But I'm sick of the stress from it and I don't want to take direct commissions I just want to make shit but I have too many people that follow me specifically for cosplay shit and I feel like If I stop cosplaying completely and start selling shit at cons and on etsy that i'll have this feeling of giving up and selling out. I feel so stupid and stuck and my home life is fucking me up and worsening my depression and I feel like I'm in this hole that I can't get out of.

I still want to cosplay, but I also want to just make cool clothes and sell them at cons without feeling like I gave up on cosplaying.

I want to quit cosplay because it's literally ruining me. I have zero social life because I'm always making costumes and stressing over them, I'm neurotically anal about every detail and have nightmares of the con months beforehand. I love cosplaying to bits which is why I feel so strongly about it, but it's destroying my health and making me feel miserable. My friends keep telling me to take a break, but I can't. I'm obsessed with this fucking hobby. It makes me sad as shit.

It's not just a reunion though. It's my sister's second wedding reception. There's the actual one here and then a second one out there for family members who couldn't make it.

She also gave me an opportunity to bail, and I said I'm not. I really REALLY do not want to be an asshole to my family, esp her.

I'm so fucking sorry, anon. Panic attacks are the worst, especially when you think you've finally gotten past them. It sounds like you've been having an incredibly stressful time in your life. I have anxiety too, and I know it feels like every little thing that goes wrong is a catastrophe, but you can definitely get past this. I would advise not worrying about lolita for the time being and getting your money troubles in order. Take your problems one at a time; make a list if it helps. Like with the dress, you could take it to a dry cleaner and see if they could get the stain out, and that would be one less stressful thing for you. It's not your fault that all these things are happening. If the pills are helping, definitely keep taking them, there's no shame in that. I sincerely hope things get better for you. Once this is all over, you can reward yourself with lolita stuff again.

[Anonymous No.8327708]

>>8327697
>>8327625
Agreed with this anon. Just remember that panic attacks are not harmful and that everything is gonna be okay. It's okay to be stressed, it's a normal reaction.

Used to have anxiety/panic disorder, finally got rid of it after my rocky teenage years. Used to have those scary depersonalization ones, the one where you feel like you've lost track of where you are and feel like you're in a daze or just woken up or something. It's incredibly difficult to explain, but had one last year. It was quite scary to witness it again, but just remember that you know how to handle them now, they'll go away soon.
