Members,
I purchased a book called 'It's all in your head', which was recommended on this forum.
I performing the task of the first worksheet, which was a questionnaire (which I have detailed below for you to look at).
I was shocked that I scored 14/14, which does state I'm suffering quite badly with anxiety.
Does anybody else perform a high score?
