Hi interloper, they're helping me write a c.v. at the moment and I've got an appointment with an occupational therapist soon.  Everything seems to be going at a speed which suites me (i.e. not too fast!!) and I feel in control.  Everyone who I've met at A4e is lovely, so I'm very happy so far. :)

You know you have anxiety when ...

... you have 3 important things to do and you don't do any of them, because you can't decide which is more important!!

you're on a site where people understand...and you're writing this with sweaty palms, and racing heart. Well done on your job - nice one! :)

........you look forward to something, then worry about it, then overthink it, then think of all possible scenarios and convince yourself something is going to go wrong, then dread it, and then cancel it

your running around the flat for 5 minutes with your partner all ready to go  ::) picking up all the various keys, lists etc despite having thought you were ready to go out half an hour ago - sat down and got distracted from actually being ready.

When Saturday night comes along and you realise you've made no plans yet again, and you are too scared to contact people to make any!  :-\

...you have a 'funny turn' in a crowded street and insist upon going to the library as it's a safe place and quiet and has toilets, leaving your partner p***ed off she has to go to the shops alone...after 10 minutes of library time wonder what the **** happened there and choose an audio book to validify the situation!

...you realise this happens most saturdays!

...you see someone you know in town and duck into the nearest establishment which happens to be a sex shop!

...you realise seeing someone you know in town is a fate worse than death as you will have nothing to say and don't understand small talk!

you correct spelling and other errors on a post you did yesterday - because you don't want to appear sloppy or stupid... Oh the joys  ::)
