Feeling lonely. Don't have friends and am 61 years old. Had extreme shyness all my life. I am married no children. We have good marriage but he doesn't understand my anxiety disorder or the stress I feel dealing with my mother. Occasionally, I just want to connect with others.

welcome to the group. I usually would strike up a conversation with you but I need to step away from here for a few days. My services are needed elsewhere. There are some great people here.

If you want to send me a message, please do, just realize that I won't be on as much in the coming days.

I too have anxiety so I understand.

I'm glad that you are reaching out. Yes. I have learned from the past that just because one has a relationship doesn't necessarily mean that all of one's problems go away.

I am sorry about your anxiety and your husband not understanding. sadly that is all to often the case, I have extreme anxiety and take plenty of meds. those closest to us seem to understand the least. was there a reason you had such shyness growing up? that is a very hard aspect to change, I wish you the best.

Hi, welcome :) I too have anxiety issues. Sometimes I have panic attacks, too. I am sorry your husband doesn't understand. None of my friends did either. Please feel free to send me a private message if you'd like a friend.

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
