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.

Hello,


I joined the group a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoy reading the posts from other subscribers because so many of us are going through the same feelings and emotions. Anxiety and depression can be paralyzing and I've started to see some of the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have my bad days and days that I just want to sleep or escape, but I am now having more good days than bad. One issue I have always had is trying to stay busy so that I don't have to think about how anxious I am or how sad I can get. I still do this in many ways, but I am starting to just spend time with my husband and focus on my family. I love getting out and being on the go, but it is nice to just hang out in the backyard in a couple of hammocks just talking to my husband. I wish all of you the best of luck and hope you find peace with anxiety and depression.


Thank you!

Agreed on all counts. I was referred to this site, like so many others, through the crisis text line and it has helped me tremendously.

I'm so happy for you! God bless that you're managing and focusing on the good ...it may not seem like much but it's amazing! I'm stuck in the bad days and it's so hard to see that dang light! Your post gives me renewed hope.

A lot of my anxiety comes from realizing I haven't met my own expectations. I am so quick to forgive others and their mistakes, but I am unwilling to forgive myself for my own mistakes. I've started to learn that we are humans and that I am not intentionally making the wrong decision sometimes. I still need to work on this, but this is what has really helped me realize I do not need to keep thinking about the past, but focusing on the present and figuring out what I want to teach my unborn child. I expect myself to be perfect on almost all counts, but I'm realizing no one cares. I want my child to understand that no one is perfect, but that we can learn from our mistakes. Life is about growing, not about trying to achieve perfection! Thank you for all the responses!

Hi all!

It's so nice to read of good news and gratitude. This is a very positive post, sweet, warm and fuzzy! And how would we know that things are good if we had no poster(s) telling that the darkness is lifting? You are all rainbows, and if we want rainbows we've got to have rain. Keep pulling yourselves up by the bootstraps. When I was a kid, I loved playing in rain puddles and watching rainbows in the sky. I hope that you all continue to fight and overcome adversity. Find joy in every good thing! Play in the rain!

God bless,
Remiah <3
