Yup, and that awkward silence after you've said something and wish the ground would eat you up. Great GIF choice by the way 👍🏽

I've had a day at work where I would have been better off invisible. There's a group of people who are all very friendly with each other, excessively loud, and managers who add to that environment rather than have a balanced approach between work and levity. They barely will make conversation...

I feel flustered after delivering a presentation on a subject I'm known in the work office (this only deepening my sense of work fraud complex) and I felt dreadful during delivering it and after it now I'm sat in my secluded office taking stock of everything. I had an hour maximum, and I'd...

Thanks - and part of that success was undertaking a journey on motorways twice in the course of few days and the second time I was driving with my sat nav, and drove safely for an hour and back, compared to the previous two occasions when I was following someone. I hope I can muster up the...

Mentally and physically tired. Had an anxiety episode yesterday and after 12pm today, I've barely done any work. Not helped my isolation at work that others don't tend to do much to alleviate.

Why is it when I'm having an anxiety episode (when I'm procrastinating relating to my driving) that time goes so quickly, when you want it to go so slow. I sat for 90mins, thinking about what I needed to do, how to do it and anxious about doing it that that amount of time passed by fast. I...

I hate the fact that when it comes to fight or flight, especially with my driving anxiety, I choose the latter. I know I need to drive more to build my muscle memory as such however I renew my travel pass because, in that moment when I had to decide, I chose flight. I don't think I really object...

When I was young and anxiety hadn't taken over my life, I really wanted to be a sports journalist, specifically writing on soccer. I completed my education all the way to University with that goal in mind. However, perhaps during the latter end of my University days I began thinking: "I'm not...

Professionally, I feel isolated, overloaded, and massively unpaid. And I'm struggling to find new opportunities. Yet I'm not that desperate to leave as it's one I can do to a satisfactory standard without knowing everything. Personally, I'm trying to tackle my driving anxiety yet I can't fully...

Annoyed and irritable that my day has been semi-affected by being too ambitious with things I needed to do. I should have kept it a simple day but tried doing too much and getting more anxious as the day went on. And to top it off, I must have made a fool out of myself at the petrol station...

That sounds more the manager being a complete pain by putting you on the spot, but I can imagine the feeling of inadequacy in that moment as the "expert" (something which I'm seen of at work even though, compared to my contemporaries, I really would not be the expert) you gave the only answer...

A fraud. At work. Five years into the job and I still can't relax in meetings. I got asked a question, I went the long way round it and the person said: "You haven't answered the question" about a budget query. In this moment of anxiety, I had no recollection that I had done it in already and...

As a kid, I used to blow my fuse regularly. Now, and for a number of years, I've bottled it all up so I barely speak after an anxiety episode and I've had a few I think this week. And as usual, I mess up plans for other people closest to me.

I'm tired of anxiety ruining my enjoyment of family time whether it's being so anxious I completely oversee a simple fact or just completely (in my eyes anyway, others will say minor) fucking my car up due to my normal lack of concentration/assertiveness/trust in my ability. And I am gone. Back...

We ain't done. That's so true judging by my setbacks this weekend. Fuck, why is my mind in another world when I drive? All the physical symptoms of anxiety afflict me when I have a poor driving experience and I cba to carry on. Best to get the bus, more safer.

I wish I could get swap my anxiety, unassertiveness, lack of confidence that affects me. You take one step forward, and two steps back and it will take an eternity to take those two steps again.

Thank you for this piece of advice. Last week, I drove on four seperate occasions and I tried to have this advice in my mind. Trying to focus on the technical aspects more. I think it worked, despite the odd moment of nervousness. It was a religious occasion so I just decided to fight, rather...

You know a conversation? It can be two way ya know. It doesn't always have to be me initiating how your weekend/holiday was, how did this event go etc. You - yes, you - can start up a conversation even though I'm ten years away in a nearby office. Try it, it's nice. I'll appreciate it but you...

Thank you. However, how do I adjust my mental concentration when I'm driving so that my mind doesn't drift off and I end up making mistakes, that God forbid, haven't resulted in anything major. I just struggle to focus on my job to drive, and that's when anxiety ramps up and once a mistake...

Thanks. However, how do I adjust my mental concentration when I'm driving so that my mind doesn't drift off and I end up making mistakes, that God forbid, haven't resulted in anything major. I just struggle to focus on my job to drive, and that's when anxiety ramps up and once a mistake happens...
