I am currently in a situation which I cannot resolve completely on my own...nor do I think it will be a quick fix when it is finally dealt with (not to mention, I need to contact people who most likely would not be able to respond until tomorrow, if not later). Until this is resolved, I will be...

I am graduating from college (finally). There was a ceremony for my department last night, and the big university graduation is tomorrow. Throughout my college career, I have been aware of connections between other people, and my lack thereof. Last night, this was highlighted for me, since I saw...

I recently watched a video clip of a waitress who was given a bunch of great tips-$1,000, a trip to Hawaii, a car... The reason people were so willing to do this for her was because she overcame an eating disorder and used yoga as part of her recovery, and opened her own yoga studio to help...

I am very uncomfortable with people saying my name, unless they are attempting to get my attention, or introducing me to someone. I know people do this for emphasis sometimes, but I always feel like I am being criticized when my name is said for some reason. I also don't like saying other...

So...yesterday was my birthday...with the exception of realizing I made a mistake at work, it was a good day. I decided that evening that I need to try to be more calm and focus on the here-and-now, as opposed to worrying about everything so much, as I feel the distraction of the worry tends to...

I recently made a mistake at work (a dumb mistake, at that...it never should have been an issue). Had I realized it days ago, I would have corrected the situation. However, I did not, and my boss got a call from her boss (while we were in a meeting) asking her about it. The boss's boss does not...

Recent events have caused me to be extremely anxious, and it occurred to me that I feel somewhat drugged when I am overwhelmed by anxiety. I have trouble concentrating and become light-headed. I was on Klonopin for anxiety and stopped taking it because I had a similar reaction to it. Does anyone...

I am currently in a class about aging, and am supposed to interview older people for a project. Interviewing/finding people to interview would be hard enough, but the fact that I have to talk older people about how aging has affected them makes it that much worse--it seems like an uncomfortable...

So, I am working in the field I would like a career in. Thus far, I am an entry-level employee, but at least I have my foot in the door, and I hope to advance after I finish school. I have not told anyone at this job that I want to continue there as a career because I feel like I have no idea...

I try to hold stuff in...and then it comes out in a burst. I tend to blame myself and freak out saying that I want to die (I don't--I'm not even remotely suicidal). I just get so overwhelmed and frustrated. Typically, it only happens when I'm alone, but I have had this happen in front of my...

Over the years, I have identified other people as having certain types of personalities, mostly tied into their interests and styles. I have come to realize that I can find things (books, movies, clothes, etc.) that would match others. I have even gone clothes shopping for myself and thought...

I finally feel like I'm on the right track, but if anything goes even slightly wrong, I think I will fall apart. If things continue as I plan, I should be sufficiently financially indepedent within the next few years, and I will no longer feel like a loser (I will feel this way until I have...

I do. A lot. I procrastinate because of my anxiety, and, in turn, my anxiety gets worse because I haven't done what I need to do...it's a vicious cycle.

I think there is a thread about movies with characters who have social anxiety, but I'm looking specifically for movies about children with some mental illness for a class, and am having trouble finding anything that I really like. Are any of you aware of any movies about kids with social...

I cry very easily--happy, sad, uncomfortable...whatever. One of my friends is on anxiety meds that make it pretty much impossible for her to cry, but I don't want that. I just would rather not cry so much. Any ideas what to do about this? I hate that it happens sometimes at inappropriate times.

Yesterday, while I was working at the library, there were some teens causing disruptions. I was the closest employee to them, but lacked the self-confidence to approach them. Two librarians (including the branch manager) approached the teens and dealt with the situation. I realize that they...

I recently noticed that my threshold anxiety level has gone down dramatically (I'm not constantly on edge anymore--my anxiety is triggered by an event). I even feel more comfortable in situations that used instill panic in me. For instance, I have taken a few tests at school recently and I was...

I think there are other threads along these lines, but I just took a few assessments online that suggested I may be depressed, which is sort of depressing to me. haha. I've never really thought of myself as depressed--I really think I get overwhelmed with my anxiety, and, were it not for that...

I am currently skipping a class that I missed last week due to work (so this makes my second absence). The only reason I'm skipping this time is because I didn't get the homework done and it makes me really anxious to go to class unprepared (even though it is not expected of me to talk during...
