so I was doing great fir several weeks and this am the anxiety has reared it’s ugly head. I’m so thankful for these virtual walls of this site. I’m feeling better already with just reaching out and sharing my thoughts. I’m sure I would’ve been in fuk blown panic mode if this site didn’t exist. Just sharing with others how I truly feel and what I’m going through helps. Im not alone.

The grounding value of the peer support network is priceless for me, as well, Kenned. The whole really is greater than the sum of its parts.

For what it's worth:
I like to have more than one active node on my peer support network. Life gets messy and I find comfort in having familiar options available.

Sorry. My nerd stripes are showing again. In straight tech talk, a node is an internet device. The laptop upon which I am currently typing is an active node. My cell phone is another active node.

Yes, "more than one support group" would be the connotation here, though my personal support network includes individuals I have bonded with along my healing journey.

I'm sorry you are having a panic season and stress it overwhelming you. Have you tried magnesium? Lots of people are using that and ginseng to calm their mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts that loop. They help a lot! Also, getting outside and laying on grass, breathing fresh air and looking at day or night sky. It grounds you and is very helpful. =)

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
