Actually, I have quite a few what are officially called 'anxieties'. Anything that takes me out of my routine is a huge difficulty for me which is why we never go for long holiday breaks. I can't cope for more than a few days.

I used to be this way. I still have some anxieties now but they are not so bad as they were.

There was a TV show about phobias on ITV1 some time around Christmas. One woman I saw was scared of windmills. Another woman was scared of peas; she described how she believed peas were ganging up on her.

Somebody should show her how to take the peas...............and throw them away!

Hey Cherry! Where have you been? I've missed you!

My anxieties seem to be getting worse.  Years ago, when we were courting, hubby and I used to bomb around on his 1,000cc motorbike and I had fewer fears.

Just lately I have been having terrible dreams and I am haunted by things that scare me and people who have died and all sorts of horrible things. I think I've got a screw loose. It's either my age or my job.

I have some seagulls nesting on my roof. I think they have come early this year. Their noise will be terrible and there's already seagull sh*t all over my front path. Once they get properly settled they will be trying to attack my dog when I take him out.

Hello Oldspice, it's nice to see you again. I've been lurking but just very busy. The message board went quiet for a while and I didn't really have much to say.

Anyway I am sorry to hear about your anxieties, as I mentioned, I used to suffer from these badly myself. I got to a stage where I couldn't go out of the house in the morning. But it is possible to conquer these problems. You do not have a screw loose! Maybe it is to do with your work, are you stressed there?

I was thinking of contacting the RSPCA and seeing if they could help.

yeah, we both live in sunny weymouth. it's absolutely SWARMING with the bloody things. she doesn't like bats either - and we get shed loads of them at night too. so she's quite nervous most of the time!
