Hi Folks,
Just a quick line to say I think I've landed in the right place. Had a few bad incidents recently and after searching for some much needed info, I happened across this site !! Didn't realise how wide and varied other peoples problems are, but quickly came to understand that I'm not the only one with issues that I thought other people may have seen as a weakness or worse.
I'm 50, considered level headed and a decision maker, and one who is expected to be a solid anchor point. The problem is ............ I ain't !!! As the years have rolled by, I find my biggest issue ( claustrophobia ) has got worse, and reading other peoples threads I can see similarities in other peoples problems. I'm now at the stage where bits are starting to go wrong, and have become acutely aware that I've got underlying psychological problems that are now getting in the way. I hope to confront these problems with the help of the forums on this site, and if not, at the very least find a starting point to make some sort of progress that will get me back to living an enjoyable existence without seeming to others as a bit weird.
I'm married and a Parent, and my biggest fear ( other than my claustrophobia ) is letting those in my family and people close to me down. As it happens, I've no interest in what work colleagues etc think of me as they only form 1/3 of my life, and a not at all important one at that. Hope everyone on here manages to achieve what they wish,
Take Care.:)
