I'm the kind of person who is constantly worrying, to a point where I can't really engage in mindful activities because my mind is so scattered. I have a girlfriend and a job I like (although it doesn't fulfill me completely, but it's money nonetheless), and I have a family who cares and friends...

Hey guys, haven't been here a while. So here's what's been troubling me as of late: I suffer from anxiety. My life experiences, since childhood, have not been the best. I was bullied from 1st grade through 9th grade, got in relationships where I dedicated myself fully and things didn't go as...

Don't do it. Talk to us. Don't be shy, we won't judge you or bully you like they do out there. Remember that there's always someone going through similar things, and that you're never truly alone, as long as you reach out.

If you were given the chance to start it all over, clean slate, what would you have done differently? I recently heard something quite inspirational, and that I branded onto my brain immediately: It's not about finding out who you are; it's about creating who you are. If you had a chance to...

Beautiful people. Each of you in your own way. Please, just live your life. Do something awesome every day, for you and others. Seek the light within all things. Let that light flow with serenity through all your days. That's all.

Okay, so this was interesting. I was on my way home from work around 7am, when a car drove past me, and the driver (a guy wearing a suit and sunglasses) kept staring at me, and started to lick his lips suggestively. I laughed it off and kept walking, but when the guy hit a red light, he...

I decided to do something for others. Often times, when you're walking down the street or downtown, you see people smiling, minding their own business, heading somewhere in a rush, etc. What you don't know is what kind of turmoil blooms within them. Everyone has fears, problems, stress, anxiety...

olá (: já não costumo vir a este site, porque a minha "fobia social" não é tão grave como era há alguns anos atrás, mas decidi fazer uma visita. mais alguém por aqui?

Hey guys. I'm currently looking for the kind of book that'll seriously make you go "whoa" and think and change your perspectives on yourself, on others, on work, on working out and living healthy, on life itself. I have a couple myself, but I'm interested in what you have to say. I'm sure...

Alright, I haven't come here in months and months, but I have a word of advice, and if it helps even a single person overcome social phobia/anxiety, then I've done my job. I've been suffering from Social Anxiety since I was 18, triggered by a crazy break up with one of my exes. I lost all...

Okay, so there's nothing more I would like than to find balance in my life. I am currently job-hunting, and I'm a student trying to find funds to pay for the things I want to do/get and tuition. I have friends, yes, and I used to say they were few but good, but recently things have been...

That the reason why we perceive others to be extremely judgemental and to be constantly judging us/making fun of us is because we are the ones who are judgemental, judging them without actual proof that they are secretly hating us? I'm asking this because, most of the time, we walk into a...

Anyone else here feel like they may have this? Body dysmorphic disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm pretty sure I do, as I obsess about every little thing and it drives me nuts.

How effective is it? How many of you have read this book and found new perspectives and better lives? I'm seriously pondering purchasing the book, as I've been trying to look into this sort of thing but afraid of spending money on something that's not going to do anything for me.

Okay, so ever since 2006 or so I've been threatning to make New Year's Resolutions, but I never follow through with them. The whole commitment to oneself and losing weight and meditating and growing into a healthy mind and body thing? I wish I had the strength and the willpower. It's annoying...

I feel like I'm going insane. I am constantly worried, constantly stressed, my heart is in a constant battle with my mind and I have such terrible thoughts from having such an active mind that it truly makes me feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown someday. I don't know what to try...

Or a bus stop that may not necessarily be crowded but has a few people waiting for the bus, do you walk in front of it or do you try your best to walk behind it so no one will see you?

I'm going to challenge myself starting in the month of June: no crappy food (this is very often quite the challenge for me, and if I can do it, it will mean quite a lot), a lot more fruits, exercise, lots of liquids, meditation, more reading, more writing. I'm going to weigh myself and see how...

If so, how? And I'm not talking about sitting down with your eyes closed listening to music and whatnot. I'm talking about actually meditating, getting rid of all thoughts, feelings and emotions, good or bad, and achieve a state of absolute inner peace.

Okay, as we all know, exercising is a wonderful way to let our fears and anxieties go away for a few minutes and a wonderful way to feel good/better about ourselves. This thread is supposed to serve, much like the title says, as an exercise log. Everytime you exercise, you come here and you make...
