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...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Haven’t posted in a long time. My anxiety has been really bad lately. I have my first horse show this week that i am taking my handmade jewelry to. I am not showing my horse he is not ready to go to the show. There are some people there that dont like me and i dont want my creations not to sell. Lately the crazy committee that meets in my head has been bad. I mean really bad. I tell them to stfu but they dont. I have been beating myself for being more sad about not making our move then all the dearth’s in our family. Don’t get me wrong i miss my mother every day but there is a lot about her i dont miss. Don’t miss the critersium i always got or how i was always doing things wrong. She was very far from warm and fuzzy. There are more pictures of her horses and her dogs in her houses then her children. I always felt I couldn’t do anything right.
We were all set up to move to Texas the first of the year. I was so excited we had a great house we were buying and we both had jobs. At heart i have always felt like a Texas girl.

Hello- I am new to the group
Steadying support while you tackle your brave venture. My social anxiety wants signed affidavits from all attendees swearing they like me before I brave any new ventures, but my shrinks seem pretty unanimous that not even the most charming of social butterflies are liked by *everybody* and that shrugging off the folks who *don't* like you is a necessary social skill for all. May you end your brave venture with proof that you can master that social skill of thumbing your nose, when needed. Maybe a raspberry for the especially obnoxious haters?
For what it's worth:
I'm trying to escape the Boom Star State (Texas). The collective effect of all these people trying to "start fresh" is? ? ? Boomy? ? ? Califony? ? ? Worth missing? Maybe just my gypsy puppet show. . . It is an amazing world we live in and my gypsy feets is itching. I've come to think of Texas as the world's biggest gypsy trap. My road friends tease that I was captured by a band of wild Texans. Too true. . . Been here over half of my silver streaked life and enough is enough. A wanderer must wander.
