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...

Anxiety Meltdown

I've had arthritis and Fibro for 10 years now and it's been going downhill every year. A new joint seems to give out every year. I feel useless and sometimes I want to end it all. I have an amazingly supportive boyfriend but he doesn't understand my anxiety. If hes playing video games and I hear him talking to a woman I have this unrealistic fear hes going to leave me for some random chick online who lives in another country. I hate that I even doubt him. Hes honest and so supportive but my brain doesnt understand why hes with me and so I inevitable think someday he'll leave me because I'm useless and broken. When I think about ending my life because really I'm not living much of one, I think of my dad and the grief I'd put him through and ik afraid when hes gone I'll go through with it.


I hate feeling sorry for myself, I hate feeling crazy and I hate how my brain works and I know I'm in control of my own thoughts but I have a hard time controlling them.

Hello Anxious Canuk. AC for short? Welcome to DS. Sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here. DS is not a cure for whatever ails you, but it is a great source of support for living with whatever ails you. Typing out and sharing about my anxiety of the day helps me tremendously in keeping those anxieties from running my life.

There is also an active fibro and several arthritis boards here, as well. It might be worth a surf to see if one of those boards could provide you with even more support.

Welcome aboard. Hope you find stabilizing companionship here. Family members, et al, can be helpful in coping, but are usually to emotionally involved to be as supportive as somebody who is dealing with similar pain.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
