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...
Hey there Everybody. I'm new here, and really don't know where to start. It's a little overwhelming to begin in the beginning with new people to help you through. I have had a rough past and just do my best to make it through a day. I have a partner that helps as best she can, but she is only one person, and not on the outside looking in. It's hard for her to deal with all my probs at the same time. She does the best she can, and knows when I'm at my limit. She is always there to help. But I need to make friends outside of her. She can't be my only go-to person all the time. Sometimes an outside voice could be the voice of reason. So there is part of my story, and I really hope I get to meet new people here. Thanks for listening. Have a blessed day.

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!
You've taken the important first step in writing it out.
Keep a daily private journal to help you sort out the 'go-to' information.
Best wishes.
What a cute name. Welcome to the anxiety board. Lots of nice people here.
Nice to meet you.
I solidly believe it takes a village to live a healthy life. The love of my life is a great source of strength and stability for me, but not even God can be my everything. I do us both an injustice when I expect him to be doctor, lawyer and mechanic on top of everything I already expect from him. We both feel far more confident when I have a network to call my own.
DS is one of the places I come to vent freely and openly. I hope serves you as well as it has served me. Hope you find stabilizing companionship here.

Now I have Blood Sweat and Tears caught in my head. Did I just give away my age?

It’s nice your mate tries to support you. If possible, tell her what you need a head of time. I have a list on my fridge that links a behavior with a coping skill. It’s a guide for my parents. If they know why I am anxious they can look at the coordination coping skill and help me to help myself.
I posted yesterday about my crisis box. Maybe you can make yourself one? It’s on it’s own thread so please take a look.
