I've been in a relationship with this guy for pretty much two months. But recently we've been getting more intimate. And it freaks me and my anxiety out. Hand holding and hugs to say goodbye or hello are all we ever did (I was even the one who initiated those things, which is huge). It's...

My anxiety is the worst its ever been (This is a mess of words I'm sorry! Hopefully there's some sense? :shyness:) I currently can't stop shaking all over to the point I'm struggling to type this. I feel physically sick, but actually not being sick. Just coughing or when I put food in my...

At college my attendance was bad in my childcare class, so they removed me from the course, but have still offered me the chance to get some work experience at a playgroup. I'm supposed to start on Monday next week and I've never been so uneasy. Everybody I know has pushed me towards working...

I feel dumb talking about this, I'm such an emotional sensitive soul at unnecessary moments it's ridiculous. The beginning of this year I went to this place where they help young people. I got assigned to a somewhat of a counselor. Having been locked into rooms, dragged by the wrists, and...

Hi! So I'm meeting a friend I've only met in person twice this week. She lives really far away but we constantly talk on fb like all the time seriously. Anyway we both have social anxiety and are pretty useless when we actually meet in person. Skype calls I'm usually the one doing the main...

My anxiety became relatively easy for me to control since around this time last year. I was able to rationalize it and overcome the outbursts. Being able to do so actually made it possible for me to start college again. I still found it difficult and had off days, but I was still able to turn up...

It's almost as if I'm waiting for the punchline. As if a persons compliment towards me is just a ruse to get a reaction out of me or something. If someone gifts me something I always wait for them to take it back and tell me they didn't mean it. It even includes things like in tests or when I'm...

I could write a book about all the things these people have done to me. For the past year they've been draining all my money from my bank. I get like £60 benefits a week for being a Carer. That's it. They hounded me down and made me feel so freaking guilty and I was forced to give them £50 of...

I get easily frustrated with myself because I suspect my own expectations are stupid high. Whenever I mess up I tend to lash out. 'Lash out' probably sounds more intense than it actually is. I throw something, dig my nails into skin, or I bash my hand/arm on things and usually (especially) my...

I have anxiety on a constant basis, even more so when I'm at college. I'm used to it's presence and I can usually control it. Today however I stepped into my classroom and my heart just I don't know went completely berserk. It's never ever in all my life been this bad. It was painful, fast, my...

I used to hide between the school building to eat my lunch when I was in secondary school, but now I'm in college I don't have this option and I'm terrified. Food is my enemy and I truly mean it. I hate eating so it's hard enough as it is. The college I start in a couple days is very very small...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section! I don't know/think it's entirely related to depression, but there's no other website I know of where I can ask for help about this. Sorry for the mess, words aren't my strong point. To get the generic stuff outta the way I'm 18, female, and am at a...

I've had one of those days where everything has just been slowly piling up. And then suddenly it hits me how much stress or frustration etc has been happening and I end up getting too deep into my thoughts and feeling pretty crappy for a while. Each section/paragraph thing is a separate...

They don't understand and don't even try to. On the countless times that I have tried explaining to them what it's like for me, they turn their heads or will literally walk away. They even throw away letters that are addressed to me by from the psychiatrist or doctor. I'm convinced they still...

I'm 16, 17 in May, and I don't really have a lot of friends. But some of the ones that I do are 2-3 years younger than me. One is 13 and two are 14 years old. Oh I should also mention they are only internet friends. The 13yr old is very mature for her age and one of the 14yr olds can be rather...

I'm trying my best not to ramble so I'm keeping it short and sweet without going off on some tangent aha. Meaning I've hardly explained anything... Also I apologise if this is in the wrong section ahe. I'm 16 years old, 17 in May. I got kicked out of college last year around October time due to...
