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...

Hi everyone, 


I've been battling anxiety, depression, fatigue, loneliness, same sex attraction, masturbation & porn addiction for well over a decade. 


Feel free to read my posts in the porn addict group or on my page, you'll get my story. 


I'm going to the doctor this week, hopefully find some medication that will help. 


I've come to the conclusion that everything is parasitically living of everything else. 


My faith is very important to me, God has gotten me to the point of opening up about all my struggles / issues and I have to overcome all of them (most importantly all the sexual crap) 


I'm just glad that I'm withdrawn and have never done anything with anyone, I pray that medication will keep it that way until marraige & all this nonsense will go away. 


I came off of medication I was one for 10 years, dramas with the doctor etc..., been more unstable this year but at the same time my faith is getting stronger & I'm committed to overcoming / changing even though I've failed many times. Hope new meds will work. 


Please send up a prayer for me. 


I gave my life to Christ during a period of mental instability back in 2012 after a tragedy in my life, same time period I got hooked on porn, pretty sure it was the devil trying to prevent me from accomplishing what God wants me to. 


Sadly my biggest accomplishment in life is my sin. Due to all my issues I've been unemployed since I finished school. 


My family doesn't have money for studying, I get too overfaced & stressed out & wouldn't have been able to cope at a normal job. 


I went to an ACE highschool, wouldn't have coped in a traditional one. 



I hope God delivers all of us from everything we're battling. 


God Bless.

hello dbn. welcome to the anxiety forum. i hope you can forgive me for passing on getting to know your porn addiction better. as a child porn survivor, i fear the places that acquaintance might take me. however, that doesn't need to get in the way of us supporting one another in recovery. survivors and addicts are two sides of a single coin, after all.

i, too, believe faith is a critical part of recovery. i still haven't found religion, but i have found tremendous faith in the healing mysteries, by whatever name.

healing hopes for all. no exceptions.

I hope and pray for the absolute best for you. I don't think you're correct that everything is parasitically living off others, but I guess it depends what is considered parasitism and what is considered normal give and take in life. We all need more than ourselves.

    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...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
