Why not? It was a valid point to the post I was replying to. I would have thought that was obvious.

Why do you think that I think PM’s are elected on a presidential basis?

I think I read somewhere that 0.04% of the population is about to choose who our next PM is going to be and ultimately what brexit does exactly mean. And this is the mentality of those making that decision Tories happy to trash economy, lose Scotland and Northern Ireland, and destroy own party...

Even though I personally know someone who’s going through what you are I can’t begin to imagine what you or her are going through and how you deal with it. Massive respect to you and wishing you the best. Makes me having some anxiety to a much lesser extent than others on here seem very superficial.

OCD is another condition that’s massively misunderstood and used flippantly to describe someone who’s just tidy. Unfortunately I know someone like yourself who genuinely has the condition and like you it’s manifested itself around a fear of something happening to her children. She’s in a...

I sometimes wonder if it’s a regression thing. I’ve never heard or read it but in my own train of thought it seems almost like a regression to the womb.

Have you still not got them fixed? It’s been weeks now since you sat on them.

I’ve read that swimming is good for mental wellbeing. Some people especially recommend swimming underwater a lot for anxiety. Apparently to do with breathing, or lack there off so your breathing is slowed right down and the almost swaddling sensation you get from being fully immersed underwater...

You’ve not really narrowed it down there as at least one candidate is both a rabid racist and a fucking mentalist.

Just wanted to post this link about anxiety for anyone who wants to read it. Generalised anxiety disorder in adults

It does get me when someone is pissed of because they’ve had a bad day at work and describe themselves as a manic depressive. I know someone who has bipolar and has been sectioned twice for it (second time did it themselves). The first time they were sectioned she became so manic she became...

While I’m getting it all out there (I feel I’m in a good place on this thread) this is especially for Rich. If it is anxiety you’re getting the home run in being diagnosed as anxiety for me was a sensation of sinking into and through the mattress when trying to get to sleep. Obviously not in the...

Not sure I’ve ever had a full on panic attack (having witnessed someone else having one once) but on one occasion I had to leave the cinema about five minutes into a film and go for a walk and once had to leave a restaurant and again go for a walk as I felt if I didn’t I was going to have a full...

Definitely does. Plus has other benefits.

Had the restless legs too. Still do and probably always have. The first time I ever got hit by a big burst of anxiety was in toys R us. Just hit me out the blue where I had the feeling that I just needed to get out of there for no logical reason and could feel the anxiety building until I felt...

As you say smells, sounds and certain scenarios can trigger anxiety and seem completely irrational at the time. Never noticed smells as a trigger myself but can certainly relate to noise and certain scenarios. You’ve clearly experienced it far worse than myself as you seem to have far more...

Again sounds like anxiety. Nothing about it seems rational.

Sounds more like anxiety to me. I have experienced some of the same symptoms (getting irrationally stressed in queues especially) myself and it’s been diagnosed as anxiety. You can take drugs for it but I’ve decided against them. Just admitting it myself and becoming aware of what it was a big...

The BBC has done a fact check. It’s short because very few points were made last night Fact-checking the Tory leadership candidates' claims The only answer Boris gave any details to was the one regarding the Irish Border and surprise surprise he was waffling bollocks.

In other words she can do nothing to thwart Brexit because as you’ve already pointed out to yourself Parliament is in recess.
