    Hmm another year.. was it good or bad?

    Another year and it feels like I have never done anything really. It was a rollercoaster ride as always, but I wished there were more highs. I suppose I can't complain too much. I moved to a new place, at least it feels like I am not stagnating in one place. So how did your year go...

    SP: All your life or acquired later

    I just want to know if people here had SP all their life or if you acquired later in life? If you got it later in life, then when did you get it? In mid-late teens? As an adult? If you got it later, was it caused by any particular event? Do you think its easier to get cured of SP if you...

    Irrational or rational? Real or Imaginary?

    Hmm I am tying to understand! What is real and what is just in my mind. I have always been extremely worried about certain events (parties, uni/school presentations, work meetings). I have been told (by doctors/family) its anticipatory anxiety and irrational fear. All I have to do is to...

    I am sick of this... routine

    No not SP exactly. Well I wish I didn't have it... but thats not what i mean. When I look back at the last few years...It almost seem like I have wasted them. My life seem to revolve around my boring job. All I have done is react to stress from work. I haven't really progressed my life at...
