Yes I know it must of been really hard. I can cope with moving away but think I’m too fragile to handle the guilt of stopping contact so moving away from the area will be the next best thing to help me get stronger but won’t be until I’ve had some support first to get me to a place where I feel strong enough to do so. I will write on here again yes. Thankyou so much with that kind gesture. There are good people out there. Wish you well too Anita

It is very refreshing to speak to people about this. I’ve never joined a forum before to talk about this.

I feel the relationship with my family will improve once I move away. I actually can’t deal with it any longer, I need to sort it before it actually drives me crazy. I feel like I’m not far from crazy but determined to sort this because I want to enjoy the rest of the time I have left instead of feeling like life is a constant battlefield. I’ve thought about ending my life but that would be a waste. I’m going to sort this.

I think firstly visit my g.p tomorrow and discuss what help I can get. Then maybe stay sober until I’m fixed.

I’m sorry to hear you have been through the same. Sounds as though you have yours under control and you are at peace.

Hi,

Yes I’m going to try, I feel like I have been trying though for years. Alcohol and anxiety have really held me back from ever succeeding. I’m going to visit my g.p incase I have undiagnosed bipolar. My mam is a very anxious person so I think it’s been passed down to me. My mind never stops, with worry, self doubt. I put a lot of pressure on myself on a daily basis, I do not like how I come across to others which makes my shyness worse as I feel my social skills are poor and I have a deep voice for a small women. I do get told I’m very attractive and I do attract a lot of attention for my looks but men tend to back off when they realise how complex and unstable I am. I do get rather clingy because I’ve not had much attention growing up so get excited when I get attention. I don’t know if I actually know how to be a normal adult and fall in love 🙁 I’m 34 years old so feel I’ve wasted so much precious time because of these mental health problems. Doctors have always said it is anxiety but I feel it runs deeper than that

That video was very cool. I’m not sure all of the content will help my personal situation but some might so thankyou 🙂

Hi, my shyness started as a child, I was socialised very well as a child. Now it’s a huge anxiety of mine that is destroying me insid. I can’t control blushing which is a huge deal too. I wish I could fix myself but I’m not sure it is possible 🙁
