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.

Feeling so much regret towards a certain time in my life. And I can’t undo what’s been done.
This is the first time I’m ever saying this out loud....now that I’m older and wiser, I feel that my past actions could’ve been started because of my mom’s warped way of thinking and how she raised me.

Im sorry.....maybe one day I’ll actually write down my confessions and tell you. But....for now....baby steps. Lord, help me to forgive myself.

Guilt is an aggressively greedy beast which looks for fatal flaws and blame in even the most benign of circumstances.
Gentle support while you find your self-forgiveness, Kay. Welcome aboard.
