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

Thank you! Everyone has been so thoughtful and accepting. It’s amazing what some chatting and realizing you’re not the only one with anxiety can do for a person……so thank you for reaching out. Just that little bit sure is nice!

    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.
