    Physical signs of anxiety/stress

    I think I'd realised I was losing my hair in 2009 at the front but I'd say the last four years I've noticed whenever I have a shower, I've got a small circle of hair clogged in the bottom of the bath. And even when I sleep or just glide my hand through my hair, few hairs fall out! Other than...

    Calling in sick..

    IDK why but I've three spells of absence from work due to a temperature/headache and even though I'm genuinely ill (admittedly, some of my other absences haven't been - most down to anxiety/stress) I still take ages to muster the courage to call in and say I'm not coming in to work. Then it's a...

    Jealous at others...

    I guess I've done it all my life but I tend to get jealous when if someone who I like, mainly females, are talking to another man who is making them laugh or they are engaging in conversation, tend to get abit jealous! Probably because I wish that was me making them laugh or smile..

    Mind gets fuzzy

    So after the doctors, I was proscribed some medicine so I went to the pharmacy to get it. Now it has been a while since I got medicines and a very long time to pay for them. So I was nervous anyway. The pharmacist asked, after I gave her my slip, what I wanted? I was like "erm, the medicines?"...

    Experiences - speaking in a room full of people

    So, my colleague asked if I could attend a meeting with her and speak about our new work system which other local organisations have also installed. I was expecting it to be a small meeting but low and behold, walk in and it's a room full of women (one other male!) and our slot to speak was...

    Charismatic habits of someone you like..

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=walnCp3Qfcg I love The Rock - been a huge fan of his WWE career, movies, love his interviews and the way he comes across and if I could have the personality and warmth of someone famous, it'd be him. Bar none!

    Married but wishing I had my old life back

    I've just started married life properly for about 3 weeks and I'm wishing I had my old life back. My wife's looking to me to go out, be sociable and show her the sights of the area but I'm hesitant to do so. Part of this is the fact that for four years I've become anxious and to the point I...

    Give me a helping hand here folks - I ain't got a clue how to resolve this issue. I'm slowly making few calls here and there, not with any confidence and I'm ticked at how it falls on my shoulders!

    Sorry - it's our first wedding anniversary but I'm bricking it. I can't be bothered to do anything because over the last 3/4 years I've become bereft of any enjoyment of landmarks or birthday's or anniversaries. I just want to carry on day-to-day life rather than all this! You're looking at me...

    Psoriasis condition..?

    My brother is suffers from Psoriasis but he has tablets and uses a cream to aid the eradication of the marks (called Aaagen I think?) I had some marks around my waist for a long time which I ignored until recently when they went dark and also had marks under my armpit which turned dry then...

    Trying to overcome my driving anxiety...

    My relationship with driving is deep rooted to an incident when I was 16 when I started a car too quickly and grazed the house wall which has never really left me. Few starts to learning to drive here and there, stopping then found a good instructor then passed in 2009. Had no money, so...

    I'm sorry. I know you're looking to me for reassurance and assertiveness to get you settled in but if you knew the anxiety my head is going through which was execerbated by recent events. I don't know what I can do to improve.

    Why the **** are you asking questions for answers that you already know?! Oh yes, I know because through nuance, you want to ridicule and s****** at me because I don't do the things which my contemporaries do, ya know the cool things. So rather than accept me me for who I am, you sit their with...

    Yes, I've booked a plane ticket that is more expensive and yes, it adds another few hours to my journey but you know what? It's my ****ing money! Why should I help clear a room in which I've had to put up sleeping there without gripe or complaints? Do it yourself and don't force me to help...

    It's difficult to pin down a reason but I just find them irritable. Whether it's criticism of my decisions to do certain things, talking about things I have zero interest in and I'm just apathetic to all of them tbh. I find my anxiety and irritability is worse and I prefer to be on my own but...

    Yes, my wife will be with me soon and I'm already anxiety riddled about how that whole thing but early morning inquisitions and discussions is not what I want!

    Haha, so agree on your latter point. I had a meeting this morning, for an hour, and after I while - this guy who liked listing off his accomplishments - had me lost and I just smiled and nodded. I think it's an inherited gene from my Mum though - both get lost sometimes!

    Religious support?

    Has anyone considered, if they are religiously inclined, to undergo more prayers/meditation etc, to help with anxiety? I think there is a balance between religious and contemporary practices that can help with anxiety but I don't see myself as practising (very far from that!) but I'd be open to...
