    Recently found out I’m getting laid off in a month. I’ve been with the company over 3 years and built the department I’m in. Been hard to grasp the fact I have to restart again.

    I'm sorry - you are more than this job and I wish you well - it will all work out in the end - but I know it must be hard now :(

    What kind of work do you do?
    I’m in the mortgage industry. Currently I’m a manager in compliance for a mortgage lender. BUT I just got offered a sales position for one of our top originators. Might have been the push I needed!

    Dating anxiety sucks.
    Does he like me too? Does he think I'm as fat as I think I am? Am I good enough? Is this all a nice guy act and he's going to turn into a giant a-hole? Is he gonna cheat on me? Am I bothering him when I text or call? I'm afraid to get comfortable or be happy because I know the bottom is going to drop out.

    You know whats crazy...i saw a guy post on mfp recently that i went on one date with. Lol. My profile pic wasnt up so he didnt see me...but lets say it was kinda fun to sit back and watch his mfp interactions ...lets say he was not hitting it off with the ladies :D

    People. People make me anxious, the unknowing and unpredictability.

    On planes when nobody pays attention to the whole here's what you do if we crash speech. I'm gonna die because these people were too busy playing Candy Crush.

    Just about everything causes me anxiety. I would never leave the house if I didn't worry so much about people thinking there was something wrong with me for not leaving the house. So I get anxiety about going anywhere and I get anxiety when I haven't gone anywhere in a while. It's weird. If I was true to myself I'd probably leave the house once a week for produce and do the rest of my shopping online and never go anywhere or do anything unless I had the urge to. But I worry too much about what other people think about me so I force myself to go out and do things and end up an exhausted wreck from the anxiety it causes by the time I get back home.

    I have diagnosed generalized anxiety so... literally everything.. and a lot of times nothing at all!

    Large groups of people in unruly situations makes me extremely anxious to the point where I avoid them, though.

    Kinda had an anxiety attack on here a few days ago after posting up my daily calorie intake was 1100. Water under the bridge now but at that time their replies 'at me' and not 'to me' knocked me back a bit! After my little 'pity party' lol!, reflected and the best thing really was, they were addressing what was important for our health and seriousness of underfeeding, not recommended. I am thankful for that and for reality check I got. Good always outweighs the little bad. Cheers

    Think about all the starving children in the world?! How dare you leave food on your plate. Those were my mother’s words to me consistently when I was a child. Now that guilt is engraved in my mind.

    Well I did bring them home and had them for breakfast.....:)
