Social Anxiety Under the Spotlight

Thankyou to the lovely Nick at The Social Phobic who has written me a guest post on Social Anxiety in a brilliant effort to make the misunderstood, understood.

The Towel is Ready to be Thrown

In the past I’ve been quite happy to throw my hands up in the air, to admit defeat and then I’ve either taken one of two well trodden paths.

Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show

Eating in Australia

15th September
Well today is my day to myself. S and kids have gone to play group, my brother’s gone to the gym (with a disgusting looking protein drink) and I’ve been left to “study” and I did start with good intentions. I opened King Lear, flicked through, read a bit and wrote some notes but [...]
