Is there other people on this space that have had times they feel anxious
At a training day, its in the city
I only vaguely know one person and most of the content isnt really practical for me.
I struggle to sit and listen in these kind of things and I need to move around a lot and If I cant do that I just sit there and think about how I am so uncomfortable and not taking anything in
When theres group things I havent listened all day even when I have tried to so I have nothing to add.
I realised I needed space so I have gone to this like reserve park thing to reset
I really find these days hard

Hey @ArraDreaming I can definitely relate to this
I get nervous in lots of social situations but especially in ones like you're describing, doing some sort of training when you don't really know anyone and maybe its in a place you haven't been before.
Good on you for taking break and having a reset
How long does the training go for?

Yeah it's pretty hard to take anything in when you're feeling anxious @ArraDreaming I know I've had that exact feeling though and it's pretty crummy
It sounds like you stuck around as long as you could

@ArraDreaming Yes I have the same symptoms and feel very overwhelmed with anxiety in those type of situations. Something that helps me is leaving the space and getting fresh air and some time on my own.
Im glad you have gone to take a break and it’s totally ok to do that. These sorts of things are rarely an accessible type of environment and I’m sorry it has been like that for you today.
Is it a one day thing?

Hi there @ArraDreaming ,
Thank you for sharing. It sounds so hard to have this feeling overwhelm you.
Has something happened today? If not, it's okay.
We're listening mate.

@tyme I think it’s build up from being overloaddd all day
all day I was just fighting the urge to not get overwhelmed

Is work stressing you out @ArraDreaming ?
Well done on pushing yourself to 'hold it' for a bit at least.
And I want to recognise the strength it took to not BLAHHHHHHHH on the forums too. This is huge mate.
