I'm having alot of anxiety lately and I'm also fairly lonely because I'm renting a room at the moment and the guys here aren't very sociable so I find it difficult.I'm also a recovering addict and am looking for support here on DS.

Hello, BW. Welcome to DS.

Yea, loneliness and anxiety are happy, happy running buddies in my world. Where I find one, the other is usually not far behind. Ply coping tools here.

The company I find here is no substitusky for flesh and blood hugs, but it helps. Hope it helps you, as well.

Welcome aboard.

DS is a good site.... I'm glad that you're here..... There are several boards on DS if you wanted to look around a bit

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely.... MeetUp's are all over now and can be a good and free way to make new friends as well

Big hug.....xo

I guess it's a daily struggle but I do find that as long as I take my medication regularly that I seeem to do fairly well.Also,staying busy seems to be very important to me as well.I suppose that having a routine helps as well which is why I am trying to establish one.

Taking your medication regularly *IS* a routine. May it be a precedent you can build on.

Welcome to DS. I feel a lot of loneliness and anxiety also. People don't know how painful that it unless they experienced it for themselves. Hugs.

Hello, friend. I struggle with loneliness too. Perhaps you could find a community group to join or a shelter to volunteer your time.

I'm not sure how much Addiction support you can find here on the BP Board, but there are Addiction and Recovery Boards on DS as well. It might help you to visit those and see if you can connect with others who are facing those same battles as you are. That support is important as well. Have you found AA-type meetings to go to in your area, so you have "real life" support for your addiction issues. Online support groups are awesome, but its also good to have real-life support when you're dealing with something like Addiction.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
