I live with my elderly mum, and she is forever wearing me down by leaning solely on me for her psychological/ emotional support. She is forever moaning to me about what’s gone wrong with her day, about her everyday problems, what she thinks other people think of her etc... It got to the point...

Does anyone have trouble with this? Recently I ended up buying a few bottles of my favourite mouthwash as it was on offer at buy one get one free. However I’ve only noticed today that there's been a recall of the product by the manufacturer, and you’re supposed to take it back to the store...

I don’t know whether I have a kind looking face or the face of a mug! :D However I often get asked for money by strangers. I remember going to the city of York a few years ago, and on my first night I was going down a street heading back to my hotel. A young woman was walking in front of me...

For the last few months I’ve been doing voluntary work at an organisation which deals with delinquent teenagers. Perhaps due to the nature of the work and the fact that their funding is uncertain, all the staff ever seem to do is slag off the organisation and each other. Also I don’t seem to...

I've lost count of the amount of times I seem to get followed around by security guards when I'm shopping. Going off dodgy vibes seems to run through my family as they complain a lot about the same thing also happening to them. Only this morning I was heading into a Marks and Spencer store...

This is something which I've been thinking of doing for quite some time now, but which I've never actually got round to due to social anxiety/ procrastination. I've been advised lots of times by people to join one (none of which know I have SA). Has anyone joined one and what was it like? Did...

She used to be quite a heavy poster on this forum, and for a short lived time was a moderator. I haven't heard anything from her in months and months. Anyone know what's happened?

you arrange to meet up with old work colleagues for lunch, and one of them asks how you are, yet it's obvious from the tone of their voice and the fact that they're not actually looking at you when they ask(!), that they're not the slightest bit interested in your answer. Why bother to ask in...

I find it very difficult going to the cinema, so I only go when I really, really want to see the movie. Unusually, there have been a few such movies released within a short time span of each other this year. What has been your favourite summer (or winter if you live in the southern hemisphere)...

It took me a week to finish the book. I'm sad that the series it at an end, but I was happy with the overall outcome. I was glad that Snape turned out to be good. I think Alan Rickman plays him very well in the films. The body count was higher than the previous books- Hedwig, Mad Eye Moody...

I'm in two minds about joining one of these social networking sites. For anyone who has already got a page, is it easy to set up and personalize, and on the whole, is it a good thing to do? For anyone who doesn't have a page, would you consider joining either one of them?

Hi everyone, I'm dithering whether to go back to the doctors. In the past, I've been on Propranolol (normal and prolonged release tablets), Prozac and Citalopram. At times, they only made a bit of an improvement to my everyday life. Now I know medication is no wonder cure for SP, but how much...

I will probably have to make a claim for benefit in the foreseeable future, and am wondering about people's experiences claiming it. For example, do you claim Jobseeker's Allowance or Incapacity Benefit? Is is a straightforward process or is there no end of problems? Do you disclose your SP...

Hello everyone. I’m looking for people to perhaps share their experiences or express their opinions. I’ve been in my current job for over 5 years now. My employer is currently seeking volunteers for redundancy, and I’m not sure what to do for the best. This has been my first ever job and it...

Has anyone seen an Australian based dvd- I think, they think.....Overcoming social phobia? Only 50 or minutes long, but it provided a useful insight of SP- what it is, treatments available, role of medication, when setbacks occur etc. It followed three people with SP, and I could definitely...

Would you compromise your choice of partner due to SP :?: This has been running through my mind a lot in the last few months- getting together with someone who isn't bad, but doesn't quite 'do it'. Would it be fair on them? Would it be fair on you? How can you be sure unless you try...

:) Happy New Year everybody! :) Hope everyone achieves what they aim for this year.

I know XMAS isn't just about the presents- there is also the alcohol and food for starters! Only joking lol :lol: :lol:, but here is my list: The Simpsons Season 8 dvd Neverwinter Nights 2 (pc game) Kingdom Hearts 2 (ps2 game) Socks Shower gel Bottle of whisky Aftershave Gift vouchers

Which do you prefer- The Snowman or Father Christmas? Both are classic animations which I never grow out of watching. The Snowman has good music/ sounds throughout, although I prefer Father Christmas as it possesses dialogue and has more humour. What does everyone think?

Do little green men exist? 8O Have they visited this planet before? 8O 8O I believe that there are some many galaxies out there with so many stars, that the chances are, life has to exist elsewhere and its only a matter of time before they communicate with us (assuming they already haven't...
