Do you go to the gym to get your daily exercise in? Or do you prefer to exercise at home? I prefer to exercise at home myself, not only do I save money this way I also don't have to worry about other people paying attention to me or having to wait for equipment to be available. I also feel much more comfortable exercising at home rather than being around other strangers.

I know some people don't celebrate any Holidays, do you like to celebrate them? I enjoy celebrating some Holidays but not all of them. I like to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my spouse's birthday, my birthday and the 4th of July which is the US's independence day. I don't really celebrate the other ones though, I'm not religious so I haven't celebrated Easter since I was a kid. Tomorrow is Halloween and I will be dressing up at work, but I won't be handing out candy since I don't care for dealing with children. xD

We know that Social Anxiety can cause us to not want to go out and interact with others, but for general anxiety is there any other situations you try to avoid because it may trigger an anxiety attack? I find myself getting anxious if my routine changes, and when it comes time to do something out of the ordinary I get anxious. Even if it's a minor change, like a few weeks ago we had a Chili cook off at work and I was anxious walking up to the table to get food. I still sucked it up and got some Chili though.

I just learned about a different form of OCD called Relationship OCD. There's a Youtuber called Special books by special kids who interviews kids and adults who have disabilities. The woman he interviewed had Relationship OCD, she would constantly worry about if her boyfriend truly loved her and would always question if her actions caused him to not like her. I never knew about Relationship OCD, but I can imagine it's got to be extremely exhausting to deal with. Her and her past boyfriend didn't work out, but she's been going to therapy to help her cope with Relationship OCD. Here's the video I watched if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVJW5FqorUg

I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with sleep paralysis, but it's a temporary inability to move or speak that occurs directly after falling asleep or waking up. I've had sleep paralysis a few times in my life, but this one was the absolute worse case I've had. I was having an odd dream before I got sleep paralysis and it felt like I couldn't breathe and woke up in a panic state. After I got up, I was in a very bad mood since I wanted to sleep in a little bit longer but couldn't fall back to sleep after I got sleep paralysis. I got annoyed at the tiniest things, but I finally calmed down after a few hours of being awake.

This is something I need to work on myself, I don't like confrontation and try to get along with everyone especially at work. Not everyone is going to approve of your way of living, or your way of thinking. We're all different, and it's fine to find others who are similar to you, but at the end of the day if someone doesn't like you then it's best to move on. I also feel that you should do what you feel is right, as long as you're not hurting yourself or others. Remember, you can't please everyone, it's impossible.

Memes have been on the internet for so long, back in the day they didn't really have a name either! Out of all the memes that have been released throughout the past few decades, which is your favorite and why? I usually didn't like most memes, but I was always a fan of "I herd u liek Mudkips" and Grumpy Cat. I also liked Rick Roll'd too but I like the song. xD Most other memes were just a bit too cringe. As for modern memes I like the Kevin James meme that started being popular about a month ago.

Unfortunately members in the LGBTQ community may come across family members or even friends who aren't supportive of who they are as a person. In cases like this, you could try to educate others on the struggles of being part of the community as well as sharing helpful scientific articles but this can be exhausting and lead to depression. It's best to distance yourself from others who may cause you harm or hurt you mentally. Talking to a therapist can help as well. I've cut family members out of my life and honestly it's helped my mental health. If they cannot love you for who you are, it's better to end that toxic relationship.

The holidays are quickly approaching and it got me thinking, do you all spend time with your family? Most of us get together during the Holidays but don't really keep in touch throughout the rest of the year. I try to spend some time with my parents at the very least, but the last time I seen a lot of my extended family was last year when we got together for my mom's birthday. It was nice seeing everyone again, but being with my family tends to make me anxious so I don't like to stay long.

Music is a great way to help you if you're under stress, or dealing with anything else related to your mental health. I find myself listening to music whenever I'm stressed out after a long day or if I'm feeling down. My spouse also likes to listen to music when they're anxious to help calm them down too. The rhythm of the music can help regulate your breathing if you listen to calm music if you're anxious.

There's many different types of anti-depressants on the market. Which one do you take to manage your symptoms? My spouse is on Zoloft currently, and it's been making them a bit sick to their stomach unfortunately. They go to see their new psychiatrist next week, so hopefully they can be put on something else. It's been helping their mood however, but every once in a while if they think about food they feel sick.

I have pretty bad social anxiety. I was worse as a kid, during school I was the quiet kid and I barely talked in school. I broke out of my shell a little bit when I got my first job, since I worked in retail I had to talk to people on a daily basis. I have issues calling people on the phone, and have issues going into stores by myself. :S It makes me very anxious if I have to interact with another person that I don't know. I know if I do these things more often, I can overcome them but it's very stressful and I get super anxious and freak out. I don't have panic attacks, but I do rock back and forth and yell a bit. Does anyone else deal with this? If you did, what made you get better at dealing with every day interactions with others?

When I was a child, I had a speech impairment. I had to go to speech therapy to learn how to properly say words starting with the letter "L" as well as words that started with the letter "S" and "SH". I was able to learn how to pronounce words starting with the letter L quickly, but it took me a bit to learn how to properly say words starting with the letter s and even longer to properly say words starting with a sh. Did anyone else have this problem growing up?

Compulsive Hoarding is a disorder in which individuals have difficulties parting with items. This can pose a threat to their health, and can cause structural damage to their homes as well. Most hoarders start showing symptoms after a traumatic life event, and many are a shame for their disorder. This usually causes them to be hesitant on seeking help, and may not reach out for help until the last minute. Have you ever dealt with a loved one who had this disorder or known anyone that has this disorder?
