Like many of you guys I struggle with anxiety and it blows the big one. But many of us lose touch with ourselves and the things we love...

in the meantime, i am truly blessed to meet people like you guys and kick anxiety's ass!!

I think the part we struggle with is letting that beach ball go floating to the surface, drift away and enjoying the rest of our day in the sun!
I am new to this site and totally love it - when I read the posts, I don't feel alone in my thoughts anymore. I also remember that there are millions of strong and courageous people living exemplary lives that deal with anxiety just like me. I am inspired...
