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...

I am constantly only around my kids. My bipolar is never stable. My agoraphia is crazy. I anyone live in San Antonio it be awesome just to have a friend to go on walks with. I am tired of sitting around letting my back get worse and my anxiety control me to where I never leave the house. Having four kids is hard and doing it alone is harder, but they start school soon. I just paused for a while and not sure what else to write I am just tired of this and want to try fighting back. All morning i was just gagging like I wanted to throw up just thinking of going somewhere public. I don't understand still why when I used to be so out going and even wild at a time. I don't know really all I have is friendly advise from here and I feel bad for trying to find someone to talk about random shit with in person. I am already stuck in the digital world.

Anon, you certainly have your hands full. First step would to be finding a therapist who specializes in phobias. Once you are less agoraphobic, you will have the opportunity to meet other Moms and neighbors. as well as do things like volunteer work or join real time support groups. DS has private messaging, which may help you with chit chat in the meantime. Calming and comforting hugs.

Anon, until the agoraphobia calms down, understand why you are not ready to go out to anything. I have volunteered and stated in the ap that I can not be outside and will need a sitting position. Many times they put me on the inside volunteer check in desk. Again, first things first. The suggestions were for the future. Comforting hugs.

Take a walk by yourself and observe the scene to see what interests you most. Then look at other walking paths and that will put you in touch with other people who are walking.
You can do this, one step at a time.
Best wishes.

You do need a therapist. But if that's impossible, I had to go to the store everyday after my severe breakdown, and buy a candy bar. Everyday. It was hell. I would drive to the parking lot and sit for one or two hours, before forcing myself to walk in the store. But I had to do it everyday. I wish I could say it got easier fast. But it probably took a month before I could immediately get out of the car. It takes baby steps. And I mean teeny baby steps. Took me one year to work 2 hours a day. That was a miracle for me. Just think small steps...good luck. Lots of hugs...

    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.
