I feel in abit of a pickle at work, primarily in that I'm stuck in the middle of on-going disputes between two colleagues who don't particularly like each on a professional level (even personally, maybe) One of my colleagues is someone who I respect both personally and professionally. She has...

So, I've never bought condoms so I don't know if there is any social awkwardness buying them as there used to be many years ago. By awkwardness, it's the looks from the cashier etc and the general uncomfortableness that will be exacerbated by my anxiety even more. I've even looked at buying...

I've been in my job for over three years now and I'm fairly content despite the challenges, and internal politics it brings. Over the last year it would be fair to say that I've had more responsibility my way through additional tasks that might not normally be assigned to me, but we are a small...

Now, my history with driving a car has been a very traumatic experience from 16 years of age. I won't go into full detail however I passed in 2009 and at that time, I didn't have funds to buy a car. In 2012, I did and I bought a car which proved a costly experience as I had embarrassing moments...

What has been motivating factors in changing jobs? I've been in my current role for 2 and a half years and for someone whose work history is littered with brief spells, it has been good to build up a long stay somewhere! I have periods of anxiety in the job (one of which was being a shop front...

Considering I wanted to become a journalist and read books, many articles on my interests, I find when I want to write creatively I really struggle. My mind goes blank meaning I tend to waffle on without structure and my vocabulary - despite reading work from writers I like - disappears and I...

My career goal since a young age was to become a journalist. After education at various levels achieving to complete this goal and not succeeding, I realised my personality (not assertive, confident, out-going) was not conducive to this so I gave up and decided to get jobs that paid the bills...

So at work, our office is on the first floor and there is a telcom system if people come to see us which is a rarity (thank God - before we were based in a busy town centre location which I'd suffered for two years) but my manager now says we can turn people away if they sound/or are disruptive...

I had my day planned at work. I got tasked to do a job which disrupted my plans hence I rushed the task, made a few errors which won't cause problems but I'm not good at adapting to changes.. I get annoyed for being asked to do them (bizarre I know) then I rush and make errors. Can't seem to...

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...

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...

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..

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?"...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

I've recently got a bad inner response to feedback or criticism on the slightest of things at work. I think I've always taken things personally, find it hard to take positives from feedback on the day to day things I've done wrong. My body language is awful so my colleagues probably know I...
