hello another anxious person

[sunmel06]

Hi,

So im very new... I've struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I don't really talk about it to anyone really, so online is my only resort so far... I don't know what to really say about myself except for I'm very anxious all the time.
So yeah... Hope you guys are doing okay.

Welcome sunmel106!

Because you don't talk about your anxiety, this is a great place to start. Write what you are going through - you will not be judged, and it's therapeutic! You will meet some really nice people who have similar struggles, and hopefully you will gain knowledge on how to live a more peaceful life.

I'm glad you are here!

Best wishes,
Peggy

Sure hope the sharing here will enable you to be able to talk to your best friends or family at some point. We've got a disease that should be as easy to talk about as diabeties. It's society that puts a different stigma on mental illness than other physical illnesses. But welcome, I'm new here too and wish you the very best.

Hello all! I am also new but not new to anxiety. I have been on zoloft for 16 years. I just had to increase my dosage from 75 to 100mg. My anxiety has been coming back for a couple of months now during my menstrual cycle. I have diarhhea, an upset stomach, no appetite, hot flashes, rapid heart and unwell feeling. We just got a kitten 2 days ago and i love him to death but i worry he is the reason for my anxiety even though I know it is not him. I am a creature of routine and having him here has changed my routine. My storybstarts back in 2002 and is way to long to post. I have obsessive thoughts and worry. I worry about things that make no sense. Like the cat, i worry if he is causing the anxiety but i dont want it to be him because i love him so much. Ridiculous right! I am a mess. Thanks for listening to me.
