Thank you Davit and Sunny for your words. We always tend to compare to other people but each one is different.

Your journey is your own. Yesterday I had a ten year old boy offer to carry my groceries for me. It should have made me sad but in fact I found the humour in it and smiled. At least it was not a loved one putting flowers at my head.

Hi Eleveno:  Your journey is your own.  There will always be someone better than you --- and --- there will always be someone worse than you.  And this applies to everyone.  Imagine.

Fortunately I have no fear of riding the train but I have other fears like being with old friends that are better in life than me. The problem is that I associate my professional problems with my anxiety and depression which were not treated for many years.

Members,

Do you struggle with anxiety? Today we will be looking at sample exposure plans to help you overcome your fears.

If you fear riding the train…

•    Go to the train station and walk around outside for ½ hour
•    Go to the train station and walk around inside for an hour
•    Go to the train station and sit inside for an hour
•    Go to the train station and watch the trains for an hour
•    Ride buses for 2 hours
•    Go on a short train trip with a safe person
•    Go on a longer train trip with a safe person
•    Ride the train to a specific city with a safe person
•    Repeat the last two steps alone

Is riding the train a fear of yours?
