Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. 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...

Good morning everyone! 


I hope everyone is having a decent moring today. I was just updating everyone, today so far has been a good day and I hope that it will continue like this (seeing its only 8:29 am right now). Quick question though, my friend who I had a falling out with (i mentioned in my last post) keeps posting on social media on how she always picks "broken" people and she gets left behind. I have a feeling that she is talking about me, because she tell me how she didn't know how to "fix" me. (Which I have to say is one of the most demeaning things I have been told about my anxiety seeing that I am not searching for anyone to "fix" me and the fact she felt that she needed to make me "better" under her standards is so angering.) So last night I was done with her trying to paint me in a bad light like I am the reason for the falling out so I posted a selfie and wrote about how absolutely happy I am at the moment and honestly it's true. This is one of the happiest I have been, because I have such an amazing suppport system around me. So I don't even know if she was talking about me or not, but I choose to be petty and write about how freakin' happy I am without her negativity around me. (oh and my question was...if you guys think it was a good idea to be petty like that or should I have just kept my mouth shut?)

Nah. As long as you do not ever name names or give identifying information, it's just your perspective in general. Glad you're being positive. Just because someone is revealing information as their perspective does not make it wrong, it's just their experience. Changing the way you respond will change the situation for you, and putting positive words into the conversation is one way to do that.

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
