Re: Really bad at talking

The name of the game is realising how low the bar for normal conversation between non anxious people really is.

Anxiety means self esteem issues, self consciousness, and over analysis. The brain...

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

I don't use this forum consistently, but whenever I do this thread always makes me smile.

One of my many gripes about anxiety is that it warps perception and makes people feel they aren't worthy...

Re: How can I recreate a relaxing fancy hotel stay but at home?

Keep a stack of £10 notes by the fridge and burn one every time you take out a coke or packet of nuts.

Re: The nightmare of working when you have SA

Alternatively, for the one or two readers who might be open to the idea: work can be reframed as a form of paid exposure.

Re: Mindfulness meditation

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with meditation. I've had some lovely experiences with it, yet I find life gets in the way and I don't maintain the habit very well.

Re: Is there any hope?

Yes there is a lot of hope.

Change does take a lot of mental effort flexibility though. Main thing is to try to approach it with a sense of humour, especially about yourself, to look after...

Re: Starting with small interactions

Oh dear I'm agreeing with you again...I'd totally not be OK with that from a stranger. If someone just said "what you reading?" however, I'd be fine with that.

Re: Does anyone wave, nod or put their thumbs up anymore?

Might be an energy thing. If you're already smiling and chatting with them they will notice and reciprocate, if you're very quiet they might not notice. People are stuck in their own heads it's...

Re: Private Tutoring

Do it.

Any little sideline you can set up is a great idea. At the very least you'll learn a lot and build some confidence that might lead to other things down the line.

Re: Buying your own home?

Personally I do find it stressful whenever I buy, but less stressful than I would find renting.

Each to their own though.

Re: Jobseekers told to call their depression 'low mood' on applications

Well if it were to explain gaps in employment, the same rules would apply. Personally I would make something else up to explain the gaps if needed, like travel or time out to care for a loved one.

Re: Jobseekers told to call their depression 'low mood' on applications

I know this will be wildly unpopular here, but honestly I would not include anxiety or depression in a CV at all.

Partly because it's a private health issue that I see no need to promote, and...

I wonder if you genuinely reached out to your sister if you'd both be able to patch things up?

Quite an open ended question Louise.
