@ASilentObserver I've been diagnosed with anxiety and a few other things. I'm not sure if this is completely to do with anxiety, but I always cover the embarrassing parts up with blankets, even around the care home I live in. I'm afraid to leave the care home, I never go outside, because I know I'm a freak and I don't want people to be mean to me
@Tinywhisper11 Thank you for sharing this vulnerable experience. Feeling afraid and wanting to cover up are understandable reactions given what you've faced with anxiety and living in a care home. What hopes do you have for finding more comfort or connection in your life?

Hi, ASO,
I do have anxiety. Sometimes it is worse than others. At work, I was just switched from the overnight shift to the afternoon shift. That has me very anxious about how I will do. Today is my first day shift and I am having a performance review this afternoon. So, I am especially anxious about that.
@purpleTree4652 It is understandable to feel anxious about changes at work and having a performance review coming up. Your feelings are natural in this situation. You mentioned the switch to a different shift - has anything helped ease your mind as you adjust?
I've been having a really bad day so far I needed to see this thank you❤️🩹
@interlligentshawzk I am sorry to hear you've been having a difficult day so far. It is understandable to feel that way sometimes when things don't go our way. What kinds of things have been bothering you today, if you feel comfortable sharing?
Well, it's family stuff my parents never think I'm good enough
@interlligentshawzk It sounds like feelings of not being good enough from your parents have been weighing on you. You deserve to feel valued and supported. We are all here with you Shawzk and you are good enough.
