Oh yes dude you are definitely not the only one! I'm glad that you have found ways to calm yourself down too, it can be scary to feel like you are going into panic mode while in control of a car.

I think it sounds like the perfect situation for saying something because like you said, why not? It will be better to know than to wonder "what if?" And I think it is perfectly okay that he is a little younger than you! I dated a guy that was 5 years younger than me last year...it didn't last, but still! It was fun…

Okay so this is my advice, as someone that works with the public and interacts with a wide variety of people daily: first of all, accept that not all people are going to like you. So if you try to interact with someone and they blow you off or act like you are weird, don't take it personally. It isn't always about…

Are you looking for advice or do you just want to vent? I'm not judging either way, sometimes we all need to vent, but I don't want to offer up some advice if that isn't what you're here for.

I'm so excited for you!! I love this. I am always advocating for people to reveal their secret crushes (but it so much harder for me to follow my own advice haha). After you tell him you will have to update us on saturday night social!

I'm so sorry that that happened at your work, and of course it would be difficult for you to go back to where something so traumatic happened! You are very brave and I'm glad you have a good support system.

Oh my goodness that is a stressful situation but I think you made a great observation: sometimes dealing with something that we are afraid of forces us to realize it is not that bad and that we will survive. I'm sorry that happened to you but I'm glad it has freed you from that fear.

Good luck! That is very exciting and you will be excellent!

Good for you! I'm glad that things have started to turn around and you can buy shiny new things! Enjoy your new place!

Trapeze class?! That is very brave!

This is the national suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Please call them. Is there anyone in your social circle you can call? Anyone you can reach out to tonight? You don't need to feel hopeless.

Congratulations on the new job, and good luck!

I like Jurassic Park.

Yay that's great! You should be really proud of yourself. A good friend can be a great incentive to get past something that scares us :)

Congratulations on conquering that phobia! I had a friend that also suffered from anxiety and her therapist recommended something similar. She would keep a rubber band around her wrist and snap it lightly when she felt a panic attack coming on. Something about the physical sensation seems to help us stop escalating…

Oh yes, I know that feeling so well! I am usually fine with public speaking/presentations...but sometimes if I think too much while I am talking I get caught up thinking about what I am doing and I get overwhelmed. I like your mantra though, it is so true, we have all been scared before and survived it, it is a good…

You are lucky that you don't let fear stop you, I admire that so much! I find myself drowning in the "what ifs" waaaay too often, so I am definitely trying to change that.

I’ve been waiting for this post!

Yes! I really just avoid posts about her now, it just isn't worth it. People are ruthless. I also think Khloe is really pretty (and I think she has the best personality of the three of them too).

thank you! I will try out both of your suggestions, and yeah I totally agree, it is crazy that the ebooks are the same price as a regular book
