Hi! Long story short I never had any anxiety until I became a parent. Then had normal "new mom" worries but everyone said I was a helicopter mom.



In 2019 my stepson passed away (suddenly and tragically)....now I struggle with PTSD (never thought I had this until I spoke with my therapist) and anxiety. I'm a walking worrier over everything so badly I can't relax. 
I've been searching for a group I can chat with online since I'm not near any in person groups.

Welcome to the board Perfectly..... I am so very sorry that you lost your stepson..... How awful

I am a big worry wart as well..... that's something that we need help for within ourselves.... Therapy can help and it reads like you're getting it.... I hope that it will make a big difference over time

This is a good group.... I'm glad that you've found us.... Big hug.... xo

Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
