General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hello I'm new to this. I honestly don't know how bad my anxiety is but I know its there. I haven't been to a doctor yet, but I guess what I'm looking for is friends and someone to help talk me through this.

You are doing the right thing in accumulating information first. What gives you the thought that you have anxiety that requires attention?

Hello. I'm new here, too! The biggest obstacles are believing you are suffering and being motivated to do something to change that, so kudos on doing just that! Do you know what triggers anxiety for you?

Welcome to this wonderful group! Here's what I say about anxiety, it's natural, and we notice it for any number of reasons. This is a good place to find ways to help it back into normal range!

Hi! Great that you come to DS for support.

Anxiety is there for most people really, just more so in some than others. I have never been to a doctor for mine (I don't like their first reaction to always prescribe drugs to fix things), so I have booked my first visit to therapist next week.

Sometimes its good to talk to people, and to get some of the anxiety and thoughts out rather than hold them all in. Is there any therapy/support you could get for you?

Definitely good to try and identify any triggers or similarities when the anxiety hits :)

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    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.
