Hi, I've explained to my wife about my anxiety and when it flares up specifically and even though it has been good to share, I still feel there's no-one who really gets me and my struggle. This has affected her and my children and continues to - it seems - very regularly when every other week...

I had an anxiety spell last week due to nervousness in my driving and family moments, and I was uncommunicative and grumpy towards my family since yesterday when I apologised and think it was semi-accepted by my wife. But next day, kids become unsettled and miscommunication leads to another...

Thank you - I have regular catch-ups with my line manager who is very bubbly, overly chatty sometimes, and she hasn't relayed anything I haven't been doing wrong so that's a positive. The work is more intensive than my previous job and that's enjoyable but I still feel like I could come up short...

I'm 34. When is this anxiety supposed to get better? It drains me physically sometimes with the anxiety episodes in a day and I think this isn't going to leave me is it. I'm past the age where I can implement changes that will be long lasting and this is what I have to make the best out of. Not...

Hi, I've started a new job recently and after being in post for over a month, I had a few days where I really felt I would be found out by my new colleagues. I like to think I interview well and perhaps that gives an impression to others that I'm this confident person who is the type of person...

I can't shake off this anxiety when I'm driving. Even on routes I drive regularly I tend to be anxious for some reason or I let my mind drift off and I lose concentration. I like to believe my faith is protecting me at times and it did a few weeks ago. I was driving and indicated to make a...

It must be so amazing for someone, with anxiety, to have a person they can go to without judgment for help, advice, guidance on a task/situation that gives them anxiety and to actually get that support. I don't have anyone so these tasks that give me anxiety, I leave to procrastinate, and the...

I think I should not take any days off from work. It seems the more time I have spare, the days are always upsetting and unsettling for my wife and children due to my moods stemming from anxiety relating to one issue or another.

Nothing hypes my anxiety more with car maintenance or problems as I have no clue how to resolve them. I resort to Googling as at the age of 34, I'm embarrassed to ask for help for the fear of ridicule so I end up paying more or doing something wrong. I have enough anxiety whilst I drive to deal...

I was like that a few weeks ago as I navigated giving my notice on my current job and arranging a start date for the new job. In your case, it's the weekend and could be a combination of the person being unavailable due to other reasons and as has been said, a technical issue may have appeared...

Relieved, that's how I feel. Last week, thanks to Facebook and not really any fault of my own, I thought I had implicitly responsible for the closing of a work page as I handle all the social media stuff. I had to have a really difficult conversation with an anxious, frustrated, upset work...

I'm not sure if anyone has children but do kids from the age of 2 start to go to their Mum for comfort? My kids seem to reject me (which is nothing new for me as I recollect that happening throughout my life) in favour of their mum and it hurts and I get frustrated to the point I leave them for...

Working from home has been nice for nearly a year, well most of the time. Not having to get up at 6am and travel to work is good but I miss that sense of having a break from home. I feel awful to say that as my wife, looking after our children, probably wishes she could do that but I find the...

I cannot figure this guy out. Before a long journey last week, I took my car to him as it was making a noise when I drove and I think I highlighted the issue (wheel liner was loose?) to help him. Anyway, I went in and he was there with his two other colleagues all heads down into their phones...

So, I had my interview yesterday and I thought it went "okay" conveniently ignoring the positive comments the panel gave to me ("great presentation" and other good words). I was told not to expect a call before the end of the week so carried on working away and to my surprise, I got the call at...

I've applied for a job - considering I've had no interviews for the handful of jobs I've applied since the start of 2020 - and it's unlikely I will succeed but I find myself drifting off and imagining myself in the jobs I apply for. Getting carried away and I end up kicking myself for doing that...

As a kid, I use to have major temper tantrums and was quite "famous" within the family for my anger which erupted at the smallest of things. As my teenager years developed, I think that changed. My anger eroded and I started to bottle things up. Even if I was mad, I would bottle it up and...

So yeah, I decided to call up that nursery today and unsurprisingly they are booked up so I will have to endure driving to this other nursery and the anxiety it brings for a while. Also I noticed the person I spoke to seemed pissed off and probably rightly so but on the other hand I think they...

Definitely. In fact, thinking back to my school reports one of the things it noted was that I should ask for help when I need it (most of the times, I still didn't incase the question was wrong or would cause embarassment) To this day, my anxiety stems from day-to-day questions that I should...

So anxious, stressed and moody. I hate for not knowing the things I should know and by not knowing these things, I end up making decisions that I instantly regret. I had everything mapped out, booking the kids to a nursery 2 min walk from my house that would be convenient for my work schedule...
