    Work Anxiety is crippling me everyday

    I've been diagnosed with anxiety for about 2 years now and it has always had a negative impact on my work. If I make any kind of mistake my brain tells me that I am rubbish at my job and I'm going to get fired and then I spend the rest of the day panicking about my job security and telling...

    you should get a job and

    - get married, and have kids, and get a car, and go to the gym. You are just in a bad cycle. You should stop your medication as it isn't helping much so you maybe don't need it. When you start work, you'll be fine and will surprise yourself that you will feel so much better. Work helps you. :eek:

    Being ignored by family

    I keep being put through this with a friend or cousin. For a while everything is good, we are close, texting and emailing, meeting and laughing, then suddenly it all stops and they don't answer or reply. I am then left wondering what is wrong. Sometimes they are not well, sometimes the gossips...

    When you're not a morning person...

    Fear of my own pulse

    This is kind of bizarre, but I would have meltdowns when I was a child when I had to get shots. When I got paper-cuts, I'd become hysterical. I haven't been able to take my pulse since I was twelve and first learned about aneurysms. When I have bruises on my hands/feet, I start worrying about...
