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, I'm still trying to figure out the tools of this site.  Do the journal entries publish to the support groups?  I'm trying to figure out if it's better for me to journal on here or post directly in the support group.  What's the journal feature good for?

In the lower right corner of your "New Journal" entry, you will find a drop menu which lets you decide how much privacy you want on any given journal entry. If you choose, "Public," anybody can access the entry but it will only show up on your "Friends" newsfeeds. Jane Q Public needs to access the entry manually. An aviso on this is that if I choose "Save Draft," the entry still shows up on the "Friend" newsfeeds, but they cannot access the entry. I save my drafts as "Me only" and tweak them if and when I return to the draft.

For my therapy nickel, the diff between journal and open forum is that the open forums are group discussions and I need to play nice with others. My journal is strictly personal and I am a tyrant with my strictly personals. Start arguing with me in my journal and I will de-friend you to get off your newsfeed. It is my strictly personal therapy. Recovery from child sex trafficking is complicated enough without worrying political correctness.

As Arfie mentions, huge difference is you must play nice on the board (open discussion).

In your private journal, life goes on with you as moderator, and you determine whether you want it private, friends DS, or public. I would strongly suggest keeping it private or to DS friends for easier tracking of comments.

All, thanks for the responses! It was helpful.

Arfie, That makes total sense given what I read on your profile. I misread it at first and thought you were a sex trafficker. I got triggered until I realized you're a survivor. Many virtual hugz on your healing.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
