Anxiety Support Group

General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Hi, I just joined this site and I'm scared to say hi anywhere else so thought I'd start here. My anxiety has been getting worse about some things just as my depression gets a little bit better. I don't know why that is but it is really annoying. I feel like there is always something I have to fight against and life is hard enough without that.

Welcome! I remember when I first joined DS I was really shy and scared to reach out to others and tell my story. It gets easier. I agree, life is hard enough without having these extra issues, like depression and anxiety. I also have terrible insomnia. But I just keep fighting. If these problems would just go away, I think I would have a very nice life. There is nothing stopping me from having a happy life but myself. But I try not to blame myself, some people have chemical imbalances or are just more sensitive people and feel things more deeply. So I am glad that you have joined! Keep posting, the advice and friendships you will find here is so rewarding and supportive.

It usually works like that for me also. Just when my depression starts to lift, the anxiety is off the charts. Try counteracting every negative thought you have with a positive one. This works to some degree for me.

Welcome to this wonderful group!

That's the natural way of our body. It helps in one direction and another direction goes a different way.

It helps to know that you can use the chemical change to help, using a positive method to help get everything going in the same direction.

You're not alone!
