Prepare To Be Shocked, Reduced To Tears Yet Amazed & Inspired

My names Shelley and I’m a 21yr old mother to a beautiful baby girl. Reading your blog was like seeing everything I’m feeling written down. I was beginning to think I had schizophrenia or some social mental disorder. I feel so much better knowing what it is and where to go from here. I was [...]
I belong to several support groups on the internet for my various psychological disorders. Recently, in one of these groups, someone posted a question along the lines of… Is it harder to have Agoraphobia when you have children?

I have a guilty secret. I go to see a therapist about my anxiety. None of my friends know. My family do not know. No one even knows I suffer from it. The me you see is always laughing at school pick-up. You don’t know the panic I fight on my walk into the playground. [...]
My anxiety started after my eldest sister passed away very suddenly. I was only 12 and my family were very close and loving, but after she died my father didn’t want to know me, as I looked like her. He’d ask me for a cuddle when he was drunk and crying then then would push [...]

I hate myself so much at times and right now I just want to cry, I have received the fantastic opportunity to be on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 tomorrow, yet it would mean traveling to London, tonight. Its at least 9 hours away and although some without anxiety would also be apprehensive [...]
Hello. So what can I tell you about myself? Well let me start with the basics. I’m a full-time kiddy wrangler (two boys aged 5 and 6), a part-time sub-editor, and constant social media user (you only have to peek at my Twitter account to see that @beebeecavendish). I have also suffered from depression now [...]
The fear of rejection is something that plaques my life, its one of my many nasty traits. It does upset me that I feel this way and I would very much like to overcome it as it does ruin the way I think and behave. For example; The school playground; I take great pleasure [...]
I lowered my head to the floor so I did not have to make eye contact with the nursery teacher when I explained to her for the first time that my children had never ran or played on concrete before. My heart had dropped to the pit of my stomach when they started their first [...]
