Depression Understood Forums

Okay... I'm going to admit it!

I am afraid of looking back at a thread to see what was posted sometimes! (It doesn't have to be my own...)

I am also afraid of opening emails/messages sometimes! It's like I hold my breath & worry: "What if it contains something insulting/unkind/hurtful/surprising/annoying/rude?"

& so, I usually flounder/procrastinate. My hands turn ice cold... Then at some point, I muster up the courage to take a look....

There! It's out now!

Edit: Sometimes I also freak out when composing an email... There are some cases where I worry about not making a fool of myself in front of certain people--possible future employers + people who think highly of me.
