It was rather harrowing to write, but also quite therapeutic. I also think it may have helped a few people to understand me a bit better. If you haven't already read it, you may wish to do so, and you might find it explains a few things. (I've followed up on this post a few times, most recently in Some Words on Social Anxiety. Telephobia is also tangentially related.) […]

I can honestly say that reading this, at certain points, was more uncomfortable than I expected, for varying reasons. Thanks for writing it, though — and for writing it with transparency and aplomb.

I think that we all have a Des and I love the way that you have turned him into a personal trainer to kick the crap out of every once and a while. I suppose that the trick is to work out when what he is saying in justified and when it's not and that comes with age (apparently!).

My Des is a complete bitch. She sneaks up on me like some kind of blob that crawls, and suddenly suffocates me with her jelly-like wobbliness fills me with doubts, uncertainty and the threat of making me as ill as I once was.

I'm going to start looking at her in a more assertive manner & instead of waiting for the inevitable strangulation, moping and general feeling of ill to washing over me & nag nag nag that I deserve no better because I am a failure (that's my Des).

Plus, this girl can pack a punch if necessary!
