Well I'm currently not in a good place mentally... she's definitely less interesting when I'm happy. I always think back to how things were and to the mistakes i've made; It's not even a big deal but I can't accept that I cannot change the past. Maybe that's just a general problem I have. There...

I have not been diagnosed with OCD (or anything for that matter, since I haven't been in therapy yet), but I tend to be obsessive about stuff. Normally, it's just harmless stuff that keeps me occupied and stressed out for a couple of days. But there is one thing that has been haunting me for...

Thank you <3 I don't really know how to translate my job into English... I'm an administrative in an office that pays taxes and does the accounting of other firms or people. Apparently, fall is going to be a stressful season. It's not work that pressures me though, it's feeling other people's...

I don't even really know... I had two weeks of vacation and today was the first day. My boss sat me down and handed me the notice without much of a comment. He just said that "he didn't feel it" and that he thinks I'm not resilient enough. The thing is that he really triggered my anxiety by...

I got fired today... my anxiety just got me fired

Thank you. I really appreciate your reply. It's not easy to see everything from a clear point of view because I'm so occupied with my own problems and I'm not sure in how much danger he actually is. I wonder if my fear for his safety is completely justified or if it's just my anxiety making me...

He is or was in therapy... I'm actually not sure if he's still seeing a therapist. I don't think he has asked for this, it may hurt his pride. I will suggest it to him next time I see him... or I might just text him about it. I just received a text from him today, asking me if I could imagine...

I honestly don't think that would be a good idea. If I thought he might hurt himself right away, I would have stayed with him longer. We've been in touch every day since that night. He feels embarrassed but has sobered up. My fear is just that eventually he might come to the conclusion that...

Just need to get off my chest what happened last saturday... So my boyfriend and some friends organized a party and since the location was near my dad's house, I invited him too. He's been going through a lot lately. He was diagnosed with morbus bechterew and is unable to work, but the state...

Just wanted to say hello to my fello atheists :)

Lana del Rey- 13 beaches <3

Wow... that sounds really tough. I'm glad you're doing better now and you found somebody who helps you. You are right of course, I don't have to stick with the first therapist I'll find. I'll do my best. Thank you!

There were many times in my life when I considered therapy. The first time was at thirteen, so 12 years ago. For me, going to therapy always seemed (and still does) like a huge deal. When I was younger, I told myself I was "normal" and that seeing a therapist would make me crazy and would make...

It takes so much self-control to keep these negative thoughts out of your head... I find it especially hard when people tend to use sarcasm quite often. I simply don't understand it and it makes me really nervous not being able to tell if somebody is being serious or not...

Thank you, that does sound like a good way to get in touch. I was wondering what I could do during my unhappy phases, to let people know I don't suddenly hate them. Usually when I'm happy, I don't find it that hard to communicate and make friends. As soon as my mood gets worse it seems I'm...

*Sorry I don't really know how the quotes work, so this is my clumsy try* Thank you!! I'm both glad and sorry that you can relate so well and experience similar things... It helps knowing I'm not alone with this. When I think back, I do find situations that may have caused this anxiety- or at...

I'm not sure if I should start a new thread or add to this one, because it fits... Please let me know if this is wrong here. I have been at my new job for exactly a month now and at first everything seemed perfect. I do like the work itself and the co-workers are really nice, but already now my...

I only just found this thread but I would like to add that I can fully relate. Lately, whenever I had more than one day off work, I got anxiety about going back. Up to the point of feeling physically sick and calling in sick. As a waitress, I didn't have much responsibility, so my main fears...

Thank you (all of you). I'm not from the US or living there and the thing is that our health insurance system is quite difficult. Basically, no matter what kind of insurance I choose, as long as my yearly costs are below 2500 dollars, I have to cover everything myself. I don't know if there is...

Dear forum members, I have not seen a therapist ever in my life and so I have not been diagnosed with anything. I don't know if a PTSD forum is the right place to seek help, but I read some of the threads here and I think it can't hurt to hear your opinion. Before I tell you the most recent...
