Hi, everyone :)

[redpanda]

I'm new here and figured I'd introduce myself! I've wanted to join a group like this for a while but I kept getting too anxious (fitting, I know). I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. While I've found a medication that treats my Bipolar Disorder, none of the anti-anxiety medications have worked for me (so far). I am participating in cognitive behavioral therapy and it's made a slight difference so far. I'm hoping that I can learn more strategies for coping with anxiety through this forum. I'm also looking forward to meeting other people who have gone through similar experiences.


I live in Nashville and am in the process of moving to Seattle. I work as a biology/chemistry tutor and science writer. I live with my partner, dog, and several pet reptiles. My hobbies include gardening, hiking, and video games. It's nice to meet everyone!
