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...

Hello, I’m new!

Hello! I’m new here. You guys can call me Trixie or Pink or whatever :) I’m here because I kind of don’t really know what I’m doing anymore. I’m 21 in uni with a steady boyfriend, so like everything should be peachy. Trouble is, as most of you already know, it’s not really that simple. I’m gonna post a more detailed explanation in another group which is more appropriate for this kinda talk, but long story short I’ve been left with anxiety and depression and paranoia thanks to something that happened last year.



There’s no one in my life that I can really go to about my mental health stuff, except for my boyfriend. But it’s really not fair to dump all of it on him. I’m hoping that talking to others who understand where I’m coming from will help lift my burden a little.



Sorry this was so long. Just wanted to do a quick introduction but I guess I got carried away, 


tl/dr: I’m TrixiePink and I’ll be staying with you guys for a little while.

Hello, Trixie. Welcome to DS. I saw your post in the PTSD forum, as well. I don't know that I have any particular reason for responding here instead of there. The two forums are quite similar. PTSD is an anxiety disorder, after all.

Emotional support sure makes a big diff in my own symptom management. Hope it helps you, as well. Welcome aboard. I hope you find stabilizing companionship here.

Addendum:
Your intro wasn't too long by DS measure. Rambling, ranting, venting and complex sorting allowed.

Hey Trixie! You will find that everyone here is typically very helpful and understanding. I love coming here to be able to talk to everyone and put out here how I feel. Like you I feel like a lot of the people around me can't really relate to how I am feeling but most here really can. It's been very benefical for me to come here. I hope that you can find some peace and comfort by coming here!

Hey Trixie!

I'm also in college suffering with anxiety and depression. The one person I talk to most about my problems is my boyfriend and I also feel unfair that I dump all my emotions on him sometimes. He tells me that it's fine and that he enjoys listening and helping me, but I can't help to feel bad. He helps me a lot during my moments and I'm super grateful. If you ever need to talk things out, I'll be here!

    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...
