Phantom smells

[Fishmanpa]

I am not not excited, I'm scared. I'm nervous. I'm worried I'll fail.

I want to go. I need it I think, I've barely seen the world and I'm nearly the closer side to 30. I've said this myself to be honest and Dan has agreed.

Thank you for being honest with your answer. I believe if you go, it will be good for you and in retrospect, you'll be glad you did.

So, this isn't about any disease is it Reb? This is about the fear of failing. It's a real fear. We all have doubts when making a major life changing decision. Unfortunately, what's happening is you're doing everything you can to self sabotage yourself. Coming from someone old enough to be your father... The biggest regrets we have in our lives are not the things we did and failed at, they're the things we didn't do for fear of failing.

From what you're saying and from what I'm seeing in your plethora of posts, things are at the breaking point. I can only imagine what a hot mess you are in real life based on what we're seeing on the anxiety forums!

Again, perhaps it's time to have a heart to heart with yourself and your boyfriend. You need to make a decision as well as stop this nonsense. You know it as well as everyone else.

It IS nonsense...and it's a smokescreen for the true reason for your anxiety. You need to sit down with him and talk as opposed to resorting to your keyboard and the internet

Hi

This is just a courtesy reply to let you know that your post was moved from its original place to a sub-forum that is more relevant to your problem.

This is nothing personal - it just enables us to keep posts about the same problems in the relevant forums so other members with any experience with the issues can find them more easily.

Whenever my anxiety is at its peak I gag. Is this nerves or? I can sometimes feel it coming and stop myself breathing slowly and just distraction. If this was a symptom of an illness (don't even know what) I wouldn't be able to control it would i?

Is this common for anxiety suffered?

Just to let you know that I have merged this new thread into an existing thread where this has been mentioned previously.

I'm sure I answered this yesterday. Have the threads got mixed up with all the merging going on? Or has Reb forgotten already?

Yes, it's one of the most common symptoms of anxiety, caused by tension in the neck and throat.

She started a new thread this morning about gagging. Thankfully the mods have merged it but I did see your response yesterday to the same question.

Next time, answer with "no this is uncommon and could be a sign of a serious illness."

Watch how well she remembers your answer then.

This person wants nothing more than people to tell her that she's ill. I couldn't give a damn what her reasons are for this, it goes against everything this site stands for.

If it's because she doesn't want to go to South Korea, then grow a pair and say so. All she's doing right now is jerking people around, and it's now beyond tedious.

Lolol!!! I was going to post "grow a pair" yesterday but on second thought, it wasn't very ladylike, so I didnt.

Thanks for making me laugh this morning. ( yes, it's morning here in the US)

The thing is, and I'm guilty of this as well, we're allowing it to happen. As Elen stated, there is an "ignore" function accessible from the users profile page. It effectively hides a member's posts. However, it doesn't hide you from the member you're blocking and you can still choose to read a response. You can also see what the member has posted if someone quotes them in a response. While it's not perfect, it still is effective and would be useful if these or any threads/members are causing you frustration or additional anxiety.

Due to the OP's behavior, she has invoked a rather visceral response here and elsewhere and the same suggestion was made on another site as well.

As much as we may want to help, one must also know when enough is enough and move on.
