I don't think I have been for the majority of my life besides university when I felt it might help get the attraction of the opposite sex and I was two stone lighter (not sure if it worked but my success rate was 0!) but since then I don't really spend much time. Even for work, it's not...

I'm planning (don't want to but I have to it seems) a trip to pick up my wife and bring her back to the UK but it will be the first time I get on a plane on my own and go through all the airport checks etc and I'm so anxious about it. I'm worrying, borderline internally panicking about things...

So, I've been married for ten months. It's a long story but I had an arranged marriage as is quite common in South Asian cultures. My wife is not with me at present as I arrange visa arrangements but my low, dark mood involving mood swings, irritable, not wanting to engage with family and work...

Right, need some advice. After one takeaway too many probably, I've decided that I want to start to lose some weight. I'm not in a position for the gym yet but what's the best advice in terms of a diet? I'm around 5'11 and weight 13 stone! I'm turning 30 in September and want to feel and look...

So, in a work meeting with my manager, he sparked a thought in me to consider a new job. I've been in my current job, nearly two years in February. I still have moments of anxiety yet changes are in place that a part of me wants to see how it pans out yet I don't have a plan for my next career...

So, I've not gone to work today owing to a bout of "diarrhoea" but the real reason is that I had an awful day on Friday when my anxiety was high due to some incidents, my mood irritable, confidence low and questioning my professional life in every aspect. I was preparing to go but with a heavy...

As we head into 2016, there's going to be changes, potentially, with my role. My colleagues are always effusive about me being promoted, a pay rise etc! But I don't see it. Compared to them, I'm probably comfortable doing certain things (social media/newsletters) but most of the time, I'm...

I'd rather not have the decent level of intelligence I have to get rid of anxiety and have confidence/assertiveness in life. I'd probably suffice being in a dead end job if it meant no anxiety etc. It's good to be in the know about on-going world events and taking an interest but I don't...

When I read this article, it resonated with me because I think I might be! Not stalking but definitely seeing a pretty girl, I do think 'I wonder if she'll be there today' or I do check out the Facebook profiles of girls sometimes who I may not necessarily know. But if I didn't have anxiety...

I've found in one of my professional jobs that ended in failure, something really simple as getting folders to put in newspapers cuttings became difficult. Reason why I think was that it was a very big office plan and being new in the job, I was hesitant to ask for where the folders were, or who...

So I've been married over eight months. I'm not at the minute residing with my wife as she lives abroad and I'm hoping to have here in the UK with me soon. In recent email exchanges, I hinted that there was more to me. I had feelings and emotions that no-one else knows. I do want to, at some...

IDK but for the last three weeks I've felt really irritable and unhelpful at work. I grunt and moan under my breath when I feel I'm having to do slightly additional pieces of work which could be helped if other people did research for me to then action. Bit of mindfulness I guess. Plus...

I hear this alot in some of my work reports and I think.. I must be a good actor! I'm absolutely panicking at times inside and in the privacy of my own.. Anyone else described in this way yet you think "if you really knew how I felt..." but I think my body language probably gives away some of...

So I had two meetings with a solicitor relating to my wife's application to come and reside with me.. Anyway, last week was the first meeting, I was incredibly nervous fearing my documents might be incorrect and it'd be a wasted journey (getting the train down, booking a half day holiday from...

I'm not a regular Iphone user but using it for work at the moment for social media. I'd taken some pictures so decided to transfer to my PC to have it saved on there. I used the USB cable and transferred fine. However, unplugged the cable, opened the picture and half of the picture is greyed...

I recently noticed a bloke who I don't know well but I've seen him around and he used to attend a religious place of worship when I was a kid. My train/bus journeys to work are nice and easy and simple. I like it. I don't think I'll be reaching out to make conversation with this dude, even...

So, I'm not a confrontational person. If this was a fight/flight situation, I'd do the latter everytime if there was an argument/fight in my personal life or if I was out and about and something like that happened. But at work, I kinda feel I have to even though I'm shit at confronting people -...

Due to my driving anxiety for which I haven't drove for a year or two, I rely on bus/train for work. I kinda prefer/enjoy it, it's nice. Anyhow, the bus journey takes me through the centre of town with shops etc. Now recently, an old school acquaintance has recently opened up his place of work...

So, I find when I'm at home, on the weekends/evening, I tend to get a tad jumpy at the sound of a loud noise/car doors closing. I think it's anxiety that visitors will come to the house that I might not want to engage with but noticed recently, it's the kids next door making a noise that...

I was browsing through some old family photographs when I was young, between 9-12 I guess, and I realised how I wasn't as shy as I am now, to the point of being anxious. In the photographs, I've got a broad smile, eyes energetic and naive. In family videos, I'm playing up to the camera.. Then...
