Things went well. Done and dusted. Why worry? It’ll serve no purpose. Isn’t repressed stress when there is a catastrophe and you don’t acknowledge it? Sounds like you completed a dangerous task with an awareness of risk and all went well so that’s not repressing anything.

April is ages away. Maybe focus on making your last Christmas as a child free couple super special. There are many “right ways” e.g. for me that means breastfeeding and reusable nappies. Yours may be different and your partner’s different again. How is she faring? Anxiety and excitement are 2...

I live in the U.K. and I’ve just started going to a public speaking club. There’s a guy from India who talks about his life there and how it is expected that you become an engineer or doctor. It all sounds quite high pressure. What’s your favourite music? I like folk music and sing a lot. I...

I’d be majorly annoyed too! Thank goodness i’m in the U.K. and we have the nhs. I wonder how private medicine works, don’t they have an incentive to keep you ill?

I’m still on day 1, but thought I’d say hello. I don’t do any exercise either. Before July I cycled to work-2 jobs so 16 miles round trip. Now I work in the centre of town and get the bus. I suppose I could cycle, but i’d have to change into smart clothes- my old job could be scruffy and casual...

I’m on day 1 of the structured educational programme and it says for me to post here. I have had chronic daily headaches for over a year, but i’ve just completed Alan Gordon’s 21 day programme. My head is pretty much fine, but I am feeling nauseous. It’s like the pain/fuzziness has moved from my...
