Change is a transformation or transition from one state, condition, or phase to another. How do you feel about change? Are you a changing person? Does it make you happy? Does in make you nervous?

Reply to this thread if you have watched all 18:59 minutes of the following YouTube video. I'm guessing that a lot of you will have trouble watching in through to the end (I did). It made me nervous and sweat to watch it. Also, I would be curious to know what you thought about this video...

Friends, I write just to encourage all of you a bit. There have been many people who have been forum participants throughout the years who have come and gone. A lot of us have recovered from social phobia, and that is why we have left. I wanted to return to deliver a message from those on the...

I've been where a lot of you are -- having a lot of anxious and irrational thoughts in my mind, avoiding social situations, being very self-critical and self-labeling. I use to suffer in the ways that you suffer. But now? Now I have a great job that I love. In that job, I meet a dozen new...

I was listening to an REM song this evening -- a song I listened to often during my 2005 year in Houston, Texas. The song reminded me of that time and brought back a flood of happy feelings and good memories. :D It was kind of a vague feeling, but it was very real. The strange thing is...

The source of our anxiety could be a parasite that infects the human brain. A brain parasite, called toxoplasma gondii, which infects some humans, may alter human behavior in significant ways. Countries with higher infection rates of toxoplasma gondii have higher neuroticism scores, which...

This text is from an article from The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/people_of_earth_i_lack_basic Citizens of Earth! My name is Robert Stubinsky. Please, do not be afraid! I come from a small green home on Edgemore Avenue. There I live in the basement, below my now elderly...

Punishment awaits you if you do not have Jesus in your heart. God will not forgive you if you do not have Christian faith. Instead, he will punish you. Keep this in mind, and think very soberly about the decisions you are making. "If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on him." 1...

Are any of you familiar with other support forums for those suffering from anxiety, depression and other emotional disorders? I am interested in perhaps visiting another. :) What are the most popular forums of this type? 8) Thanks! :lol:

Jacky 1980 is destroying this forum. She is obviously here to hawk her services and exploit us for money. She PM's people acting as if she is particularly interested, but if you PM back with any real response, she won't get back to you. Apparently she wants only to answer questions about...

Did Cho have social anxiety disorder? Let's look at the evidence: -- He was depressed. -- He didn't speak in class. -- He was lonely. -- He did not make eye contact with people. -- He was a loner -- He wore sun glasses to hide his eyes. -- He didn't speak to any of his roommates. Cho...

Who wants to bar fight? How many social phobes have ever gotten into a full throttle bar fight? I think there is some real value in asserting one's self in this way. There are some circumstances where violence has true communication value. There is nothing like breaking one's knuckes and...

After losing my virginity at the hage of 25, I, at the age of 27 have now had sex with four women. Three of these women have been within the past 3 months. I am getting very tired of this number rising. :( I do not want to behave in a promiscuous or loose way. I wish to be chaste and...

I grew up in Africa for 15 years while my parents are missionaries. They are strict Fundamentalist Christians and raised me to be one too. My parents were always squeamish about sex. I was forbidden to date and flirt before marriage. My sex education consisted of being taught that the human...

My supervisor said some had made this complaint, and that he would direct me to stop and would write a report for my personnel file. I cried quite a bit yesterday and called my parents to commisserate (I'm still in my 20's). But then today I kind of got "T-O-ed." I'm thinking about telling...

Am I the only one who believes he is going to be destroyed by God for my wrong and my doubt? 8O I can't get the idea of hell out of my mind and tend to obsess about it constantly. :cry: Is hell real? I mean, doesn't the Bible talk about it? If God's going to destroy any of his...

I have difficulty opening up a stream of urine when I am in a public bathroom at a urinal. And if there is anyone in the bathroom with me, it is almost impossible. My abdominal muscles start to clench up and I cannot relieve myself no matter how full my bladder is. :cry: I'm not sure why I...

Are you guys atheists, Agnositcs, Buddhists, Pagans, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Taoists, or some concoction of your own? I am a Neo-Platonist, which is a kind of classical Greek Paganism. I grew up a Christian (my parents are missionaries), but now my only interest in Christianity is in...

I ... am ... so ... FRUSTRATED! :evil: I feel like I have this deep itch, deep inside my brain that every moment screams at me to scratch it. I want to scratch and scratch and scratch until it doesn't itch anymore! Please God, put me out of my misery or give me a busty and equally...

Any of you have it? :roll:
