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...

Hi. I’ve never joined a group in support of my anxiety “disorder”. I am hoping it may help to be around those who have the same struggles. And possibly what I experience might help someone as well. 


Not really sure what to say. Just introducing myself.

Thank you. It helps to have someone say they have found support within the group. Depression goes hand in hand with my anxiety. I have been on a good regimen of medication and luckily have a wonderful doctor. So much so that I have been with her for 10 years. I’ve noticed people think medications are a “cure all”. Which is not the case. It’s merely a tool, as you mentioned, for us to use with other tools we find which helps us. I tend to isolate myself from people at times. Which worsens both my anxiety & depression. I’ve read this is normal for those with these specific struggles. I’m a very social person, so the isolation only causes problems. It seems as though I find myself in constant cycles of behaviors or thoughts that are not helpful to me mentally. It doesn’t help that I’m dealing with a pretty huge life-changing “tragedy” in my life. Sounds dramatic...however it is pretty dramatic, so finding a less drastic term is t easy.
Anyway, I appreciate your response. And appreciate the hug. Both are much needed.

    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.
