    I've had a driving anxiety episode...

    So yeah, I've just done the same fucking thing again as noted above. I picked up my car from the garage and needed to reverse it out from a tight angle, I did that somehow (thanks to someone helping me) and as I got out, (not that it's any defence but it was raining, I was rushing, anxious...

    Because I can't say no at work, my workload is busy. Especially before Christmas. Doing tasks (designing a 27 page report from scratch on Powerpoint) that I'm not that good at but scam my way through as fearful of my manager and work colleagues being disappointed in me. My design skill-set is...

    How are you feeling?

    Mentally exhausted. Last few weeks, I've had to manage existing pressures (work, family life) and the new challenges (being involved in house renovation that's caused problems). Latter has shown how inadequate I am in dealing with trades people, I just can't digest what they say and lose...

    Annoys me how something can mess up my day in the work environment Putting together an article for a magazine, I sent it to my colleague to have a look. I would preface this and say she's absolutely lovely and not a malicious bone in her body. But I got the document back and it had loads of...

    Indecisive, unassertive, anxious about everything but especially about cars I need to top up oil in my car. I'm driving at the moment with the fear that my car is going to explode any minute, but I need to get some oil I think I have figured out the oil I need (the spec anyway) so pop into a...

    How are you feeling?

    Absolutely miserable, irritable, infuriated (at myself) with everything that's on my mind whether that's falling behind at work for an important project, being indecisive about everything and to top it off, being absolutely clueless about cars.

    Other people's comments that floor you

    In a new job, I recently had a work appraisal. I completed the form with my manager, who returned it to me with her comments about my performance. Her comments didn't surprise me as she has vocalised how well she thinks I'm doing but to see it written and the words used such as: "driven"...

    How are you feeling?

    55 minutes away from my 35th birthday and I feel miserable. On paper and to everyone else, I should be happy. Married, two kids, job, car, yet I'm riddled with anxiety every day. I really don't care about birthdays and kinda wish there was minimal fuss.

    I've tried many times to try and make her understand but as much as she listens, I don't think she fully understands. There are times, socially, she arranges things and I just have to push myself even though I'm a nervous wreck that comes through in outbursts. Hence, why I've felt I need...

    Don't be ashamed that you're older and still come to socialphobiaworld.com

    I'm nearly 35 and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this space to vent, rant, moan, complain about my anxiety. I think I'll be coming on here for a lot longer at this rate.

    I've had a week of not wife and children around and home working that should have been productive. But it hasn't. Head scrambled with so many things to get anxious about (ranging from children's birthday plans, my birthday "plans", to driving - I could go on) It's every week or so my mood...

    I hadn't seen that date of birth limitation but a shame as it may have been helpful for me.

    Hi Has anyone heard of or accessed any support with Kooth? Absolutely new to me but I came across it from a forum I visit and it seems interesting to access support online in a chat function that is confidential.

    What do you do to help move on from anxiety episodes?

    So, it appears me that going for a walk doesn't work as I end up thinking about what I'm anxious about, driving a car constantly gets me anxious. I haven't tried writing things down but I could do with a punchbag at home perhaps lol

    How are you feeling?

    Wondering about imposter syndrome in my new job and just when will they find out I'm not as good, confident, comfortable and non-anxious as they think I am? I fear there will be a but when discussing me: "Oh he's so lovely, friendly *but* "

    Procrastination is one of the stories of my life. Personally and professionally it has damaged me. In my new job, I should feel more comfortable to ask questions and not worry about looking an idiot but still hesitant. So I spent most of the day just deliberating thinking: "Shall I go to my...

    I've been working home since Tuesday afternoon and I feel like I have had the most unproductive week. Maybe when you're to-do-list isn't jam packed, you are more prone to switching off, lazying, web browsing and posting on forums. I know there's probably something I could do yet I'm just in a...

    I hate procrastinating on issues that I know will eventually cause me a problem, thus giving stress and anxiety and leave a hole in my wallet when problems become bigger and problematic. Basically, I'm sitting on a few issues with the house that I know I have no idea of how to solve it or raise...

    Will I get found out?

    I had a meeting with a few of my colleagues and I was disappointed in what I contributed from a creative point of view. I felt the ideas my colleague gave were the ones I should have been giving - subsequently leading to thoughts around that's perhaps what my colleague was thinking that I would...
