Well, since my OP, I can't say things have massively improved. I'm getting a new car that I hope will give me confidence rather than my existing vehicle that was a hand-me down and never fully had faith in it. I struggle with my clutch control on a hill, whether that's stationery or moving along...

Anxious about a new car I'll be receiving considering my driving (been driving on/off for a year) has moments where I lose concentration and end up having close calls (which isn't good when my family are passengers) and I get anxious on a few technical driving aspects that I'm finding hard to...

Rubbish. I need a new job where I work with adults rather than working in a job where I'm supposed to be working with adults but in reality I'm working with around 50% of the workforce who are children unable to understand that work is not a place where everything goes your way!

I'm so drained by it all. By all, I mean sick and tired of the office environment where for some reason (it may have been because I was you know, trying to uphold standards for younger people of the team) I am not engaged with simply because I don't sit (not my choice) in the main area. When I...

I've tried handling my driving anxiety but one embarrassing incident has ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable, week off. I was anxious about driving to a family event but I knew I had to do it at some point so I did. I got to the venue, my anxiety lifted and in the relief of...

I love you, and you love me, and we love our children. However, surely you can see that after those moments of anxiety that ruined our days, you can understand why I didn't want to venture out again as I was done. As usual, I ruin everything for all around us. You, and our kids, deserve better...

Oh, so I was so wrapped up in my anxiety that in that moment I could not see you decided to undermine me and my management, in front of an external person. You know what, I'm tired of trying to be a manager to a brat who barely shows a touch of genuineness in your dealings with me besides when...

So, I took up this opportunity of being a manager in the hope that it would be a good career progression opportunity and hoped I would help elevate, and progress, the person under my management. However an incident yesterday has completely killed that hope, I believe. I was scheduled to drop in...

The latter sentences ring true for me. I'm the specialist for my area so I rarely need to dive out and speak regularly. I think it's more so when there are conversations around non-work things and I can hear them, I could get up and get involved, but I'm conscious of doing as I've experienced...

You must laugh at me at how you get away with being less than honest on your timekeeping sheet and general tendency to take a short cut with things. You probably know, even with your young age, that I can't tackle you strongly on this issue whereas you know you can be a tad belligerent with me...

In an office space would you be more anxious sitting within the main group or in a smaller room near them? I've done the former and have done the latter for a year or so. I like having my own space however you feel out of conversations so you have to physically get up and join in. When I've...

I am so anxiety filled, miserable and uncommunicative since last week. My driving anxiety makes it so that I have to gee myself up for every time that I drive as I have so much confidence in my ability, and also in my woeful inadequate knowledge of everything relating to cars. I don't even have...

Will you (the person whom I'm supposed to be managing) just perhaps, mature and grow up and stick to our work ethic rather than being sneaky with your timings? I don't trust you admittedly because of that, and I don't know what I've done to make you dismissive, uninterested, in what I have to...

I feel overloaded with things at work - I could probably handle my increasing workload (not yet learnt how to say no) if it wasn't for the whole way I feel about my social interactions with colleagues. I sit in my own, small office which I do enjoy at times, being able to be further away from...

Thank you for this. I've got a meeting on Friday where I am going to be involved in a situation where my heart may beat quickly again so will try to follow your tips 👍

Why must my heartbeat so quickly - and I can feel it - that makes me so anxious in difficult, confrontational meetings? In the last few days I've had these experiences and in both, I'm stumbled and quivered my words out probably leaving my subject either confused or in my work environment...

I feel this girl that I manage feels she can get worked up, bordering on being pissed off, to me than the actual chief officer. I doubt she would raise grievances to him in the tone that she does to me. And also she sometimes isn't as polite to me, the odd look or disinterest when I'm trying to...

But that doesn't reflect well on me that I didn't know my own value, and to be honest, if I was in their position I'd think: "This guy is taking the piss and wants a raise because he knows others have got more." I've done my job as per my new job specification but added major extra value...

I am a fool who undervalued myself and my role and now, despite at the time being delighted at the deal I got, is less than what people outside of my organisation get. And because I've agreed to this new salary last year my chances are slim to getting the increase I would like. So my boss was...

It has been six months since I undertook more duties including being a line manager for a colleague, which I felt - with my anxiety - would be a positive challenge and to progress my career. However, despite my support in areas my colleague, who is 18, has been appreciated there have been times...
