  1. What are your travel plans this Spring season? Do you have any? If yes, let's talk about it here! 

    We have previously driven Route 66 in an RV. Our current trip will be 30 days 15 April to 16 May and we'd like to include Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion and Laughlin, but the Atlanta to that area is posing a quandary as to interesting sites\weather etc.again its an RV trip. :)

  2. Hi,

    I've found myself here as I've hit another low point with my anxiety. I've been diagnosed with Social Phobia and Generalised Anxiety Disorder and have had some CBT, but found it wasn't for me. I'm not on any medication or in therapy at the moment.

    I started a new job last month as a Chiropractic Assistant and I work in reception. The job is very demanding for me socially as I'm required to be chatty with the patients when they arrive and wait for their appointments, and when we book them in for their next appointment. I find small talk particularly difficult and feel intense anxiety when I'm in face to face conversation with people that I either don't know very well or when I feel people are judging me. People say my anxiety doesn't show to others as I feel it, but I find it hard to believe that people don't pick up on my inner self-doubt and this really gets me down. I feel so trapped with my lack of self-confidence and wish I could be the bubbly person I feel I should be. I've been out of work for over 2 years due to my anxiety so I realize working again isn't going to be easy, but I'm feeling very worried and under pressure at the moment that I'm not going to be able to cope with the demands of the job. The job is such a fantastic opportunity for me so I really don't want to mess it up. My boss is also my stepbrother, he runs a private clinic and of course wants it to be successful, so I feel under great pressure to perform well for him. Any thoughts and advice would be really appreciated. Thanks so much for reading.

    I perfectly understand the feeling... I was in this similar situation, went with my first Christmas far from home!
    As a gift to myself... I don't know maybe a nice fantasy book to keep me company during my free time. Do anyone have nice recommendations?

    Have you read all of the books made by George R. R. Martin, J. R. R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, and C. S. Lewis? They all wrote the stories of my most favorite fantasy books. I'm sure you knew them already. :D

    How are you doing now? It's almost the end of the year, I hope you are able to communicate with your parents while you celebrate the New Year! You can do facetime, skype w/e options you have there, there are lots! :)

    Hi, I do managed to have fun this New Year's eve! I facetime with my parents the whole night while I celebrate the New Year in the office with my workmates. We celebrated the New Year there with some food and wine as we were allowed to have a 2 hours break at work while we welcome the New Year. How about you? I hope you also had a great New Year with your family or friends.
