I saw this on the Brighton forum and thought it might be fun to try here.

You know you have anxiety when ...

... You spend an hour trying to lift the phone to talk a disability adviser about getting a job.

I've never had a job, unless you count a paper-round when I was 14! I've been too ill.

[edit] I did it! So proud lol. Have an appointment to worry about now

Jeremy Kyle won't be shouting "Why don't you be man and get a job!" at me every morning for much longer. I really don't know why I watch it lol.

... You spend 30 minutes deciding which ready meal to have, feeling like your life depends on making the right choice.

... when you end up talking to yourself on a public forum. Or is that madness?

Nick you are so good at coming up with amusing stories I don't think it means you are mad being the only one contributing to this topic but maybe you know you have anxiety when you end up taking life too seriously?!

You know when you have social anxiety when you are arguing with yourself and you are too shy to answer. I can't take credit for this I had to google it to find it (http://www.kipaddotta.com/mental-health/anxiety.html) how sad is that!
