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.

Hi everyone,

I am 19 years old, and I have been facing very severe anxiety and depression lately.. I just want help. I want someone to be there and understand me, to get to know me and not for their own selfish reasons. I want someone to help me get on my feet and care. I'd help them to do the same if need be or cheer them up. I am a very loving person. Is there anyone who would like to chat/be my friend and not walk away? I feel like I'm dying...I have skype or instant messenger

You are in the right place to make friends and to get a lot of support. I would like to ask, if you don't mind. Are you seeing a Therapist about your depression and anxiety? Do you take any medications for the severe anxiety? I don't have skype or instant messenger but if you would like to pmessage me, if i'm on DS, I will respond right away. I have made friends here that I would never give up and who have been here for me more than people in real life. Hugs GB

Hey DifferentOne,

Gramybear is right....you are at the right place. We all have experience the pain that anxiety and depression has to serve. Not at all fun while you are going through it...that's for sure.

I just want you to know that it can get better. You do have to work on making some changes but it is simple to overcome. You just have to have tools and the determination to work through each one. I found when I was going through anxiety and depression that doctors were quick to hand out pills but not one gave me information on how to OVERCOME anxiety and depression. They only gave me pills to maintain it.

I like you was desperate for help. It took me a while but I did find help in several books and tapes. Check out Lucinda Bassets program and Claire Weekes. Both agree that anxiety is a normal body response to a persons negative thoughts. Learn to change the negative thoughts to positive over time and the anxiety will no longer be a problem.

If there is anything I can do to help...just drop me a line. People here are so helpful and kind.

My best to you!

Hi I'm 25 and going through it too. When you having your darkest moment it's hard to see the light and hold onto hope but no matter what there is always tomorrow. Sometimes just going to sleep helps but getting your mind to shut off is the hard part. I have my worst moments at night. I understand your pain. You're welcome to add me as a friend. I will try my best to lift you up. Sometimes it helps to help someone else even if your at your worst because you can take your own advise. I hope you feel better soon. Anxiety and depression can rule your life but if you overcome you will become stronger. And if you need to there are 24 hour counseling calls. I live in tampa so the number is 211.
