Hiya...thanks for your post. Do you think if you looked like Arnie it would solve your problems? Im not being sarcastic, I just want to know.....I was invovled with Jehovahs witnesses for years, messed me up, left me isolated and under their total control, this added to my anxiety and agoraphobia in fact! Im sorry you are lonley, do you have any other interest beside the gym? maybe you could join a group or club and meet like minded people there? Sorry your having a crappy time at the moment.:hugs:all the best Paula x

Def sounds like a self-confidence issue. I used to think being successful meant a great job, money, career, body! haha, lots of friends...ITS NOT. Its about being happy and living your life as best you can, using what youve got. Maybe have a look at part-time work doing something completely different? Im glad youve got a lttle pet to love! awww x You can get some great confidence building tapes, cd's and books, why not have a try at those? As far as exercise goes, its brilliant for anxiety and burning off adrenalin....instead of arnie, why not just be the best YOU CAN BE? hope you make it out this weekend, even if its just for an hour x

Helloooo and a warm welcome to NMP x x x

[evil monkey]

thanks, thanks paula too.

its an orrid catch 22 with the job thing. need to feel good for the job, but need the job to feel good. i tried some volunteering work, because 1 thing which caused the last problem was the fact that at work people snipe at each other. with volunteering everyone wants to be there so its a nicer atmosphere.

Hey Monkey - firstly - good work on going to clubs and gigs on your own - something i've never had the confidence to do. I'm in a similar boat - love my music but most of my musical buddies live too far away now or don't care for it. Loads of festivals i want to go to but don't really fancy going it alone.

In regards to being embarrased by your life - i can kind of relate - i'm nearly 30 and have no money (only just beat credit card debts - used to love pointless gadgets - when i lived at home my bedroom was like the freakin bat cave), and all my close friends have wonderful houses whilst i've only just started renting. You cannot change the past though, only look forward.

If your into keeping fit i'd recommend taking up a martial art - will give your confidence a kick (literally), keep you fit and you'll meet some great people there.
