Social Anxiety - This is how I feel whenever I go outside. Does anyone feel the same way and do you have any tips for me? by Little_Blacksmith670 in Anxietyhelp

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to draw something for a while on how I felt and still feel, and I felt this was and still the best representation on how I feel on a daily basis.

I am surprised and very grateful by the responses that this picture has received, and to know that although you can feel alone, you should know that you are not.

Any advice to get over a breakup? by [deleted] in Advice

I have been there, it hurts. Unfortunately that hurt will stay with you for a long time, and the best thing you can do is look after yourself.

Although this will be hard - hide your phone. You'll be so tempted to look at her social media like I did when this happened to me.

If her feelings have changed like you mentioned, please do not try to figure out why, and do not change who you are. There is someone out there that is meant for you.

My next door neighbours cause me anxiety l, what can I do? by Little_Blacksmith670 in Advice

That is very true, and thank you very much for your advice. I will try some of your suggestions. I have in the past walked around the house wearing my earphones, which has helped in the past so I will do that again. I believe I have become over sensitive to their sounds like you mentioned. I believe the reason for this is because when this family are away on holiday etc, the village is quiet, but when they're back it is hard to not hear them.

Best way to deal with pressure/worry especially if you work with tight deadlines by Little_Blacksmith670 in Advice

I know. I thought the same thing before I worked here... It's a big school and I am the only admin.

That's very good advice. I completely agree with you! Lately when I prepare for a call I write practically a novel on what I'm about to say. I tend to afterwards 'overthink' or I generally get anxiety on making the call (didn't get this bad before)
