Does anyone feel that they can't achieve anything? As if there's a barrier? No matter how much i practice my guitar i feel that i am getting worse instead of better. This applies to all other areas of my life too. I just feel that i am getting worse at everything rather than better. Why can't i...

I feel a dumbass! Why?...Because when i make a phone call i can't get my point across clearly.

Social phobia turns me into a...

Is it normal that i intentionaly make people worry about me? For instance a girl who i haven't seen for years texted me a few days ago but i deliberately didn't answer back, and she kept texting me asking what was wrong, and why was i ignoring her. The more she showed that she was worried the...

Yesterday me and my dad went to a local annual vintage show with classic cars and machinery etc. I felt really anxious the whole time and i actually felt jealous of my dad because he talked to a load of people asking about their cars and stuff. I wish i could be sociable.

I feel numb and i have no motivation, i feel inferior, tired etc. All i hear on the news is one natural disaster after the other, o'r about another young person murdered. I'm just so fed up of everything, ''I cant get no satisfaction!'' out of anything, everything feels like a chore rather than...

I don't know if this is ocd, but i am afraid that i am going to get mad and hurt someone, i get obsessive thoughts like what if i end up turning into a wife/girlfriend beater, o'r a murderer? I also get thoughts that i am going to hurt my pet cats even though i love them more than anything. I...

I have turned into a short tempered asshole. I don't know what it is but people are pissing me off more than ever. I never used to get angry when driving for instance but now if there's a slow driver in front of me....Arrrgghhh! I just have no patience for anyone like i used to, i feel sellfish...

How can i stop obsessive thoughts? My mind is constantly whirring around with thoughts and i can never fully relax, even when i am doing something like watch a film i have thoughts distrupting me. My thoughts are depressing, i imagine myself hurting my pet cats, and hurting my mother even...

I've joined a new social networking site and i have already made about 10 contacts (they contacted me first) and i feel so bloody weird...Everyone seems to be outgoing and they ask me what i've been doing on the weekend.

Do you feel humourless at times? I can't help but feel that sometimes i am too serious and i can't see the funny side of things. I sometimes have trouble recognising when someone is being humourous for example if they have a dry sarcastic humour, yet at times i have bouts of hilarity when i...

My friend contacted me earlier because she is worried about something, and i just feel so useless. Whenever someone is in need of support and advice i feel like i am on the spot and i can't be of any help to them. I just feel so useless, i just don't know what to say in these situations, and i...

I may as well become a monk. Who wants to join me?

1) Don't get excited for anything because you'll only end up dissapointed. 2) Don't fall in love with anyone because you'll end up dissapointed. 3) Don't believe in compliments or flattery from people because they are usually empty compliments, and people have hidden agendas. You'll end up...

I'm in a pit of despair, i don't want to talk to anyone apart from my workmates(because i have to). My mother tells me to stop acting like a kid.

What kind of atmosphere do you have in your home, happy? Positive? or sad? depressing? I'll be looking forwards to coming home from work and i come back to an unhappy house, and the cause of that is my parents. Since i remember from a young age my parents have not exactly been loving to each...

What's one thing in your lifetime that someone told you that has affected your confidence? A girl i had to share a work space with in college told me i was no fun to be with and that i had no clue how to talk to people. This was ten years ago yet i still have this going through my mind, and i...

I am thinking about ditching the meds and try alternative therapy. There is a Chinese therapy place in the city i work in and i might consider trying that. Has anyone tried alternative therapy?

Am i too cynical in thinking that everyone will/think about cheating on their partners? For example it came to light that John Major had an affair with Edwina Currey a few years ago...He seemed to be the least likely person, it's also in the news now about the US politician who hired prostitutes...
