    There's no need to be afraid @Catherine21 but I know it's easy to say right now. Now do you think things are actually worse now, or have things felt worse since you started paying more attention to politics?

    I can say I overreacted very badly

    It keeps happening like making a fool of myself.. or overreacting. The worse is I sweared at her. Anyway it is done. Now I feel ashamed of going to that supermarket. I only go when it is really something very specific. So I guess I will give it a miss for a few months. I reallyhate myself when these things happen.

    To a positive.. I am cutting down my scratch cards playing. By only playing twice a week by playing only on the weekends. Before it was bad. As it was almost everyday.. I have been doing it for a few weeks now.. it is a good saving . I still win some.. considering

    They're not disappearing @Schildpad as I'd explained on the other discussion, our new keyword filter caught your comments, which we then have to manually release. So they're not gone, they're just waiting to be checked by us. It's a bit sensitive, so I think it didnt like you saying mentioning gambling. Apologies.

    Ok.. I am cutting on it.. I can not forget about today's incident . I am traumatized by the experience. I might just rather not interact with people...

    Can I just confirm you mean you're cutting back on your scratchcards @Schildpad ?

    I am very tired and confused and angry with myself and many things at the same time. Why life has to be so unfair . I did not want that incident to happen to myself... I hope it will pass. But my anxiety is sky high.

    Wow I just came across Carl jung titled The Dangers of seeing what others don't! Blew my mind of why I'm feeling the way I am I'm convinced adhd autism gives you a sixth sense from a child I've had great abilities to read people and a room I absorb people's energy that's why I've isolated for years as I get burnt out wow was such an intreasting article

    I am trying to skip messages related to benefits.. there is a lot of scaremongering to make people feel very scared. ... It keeps happening...if I get a letter I deal with it. But media wants us to be scared.

    I am scared about everything but I have worried too much in the past and it did not happen. It is better not to worry . And I know it is hard writing this while my heart is racing…

    I want to stop them altogether the cards that is.. Hopefully soon. . I am considering some changes for next year. I really need to find something I can do workwise.. relaying on the system is very scary And it is always the possibility of losing the benefits. So I need to try something. .retiring age is far away and not sure what will i get. but future is so uncertain…
