The last few days

[silverx]

I felt the need to express what the last few days had been like for me. But I realized that It was not the sort of message that could in anyway be beneficial to anyone else going through these types of things. And the thought of making someone else's situation worse was unbearable so I had to remove it. I apologize. I hope you can understand.

Hi silverx. Thanks for posting. This is a place that would never discourage that. Sounds like you're going through a ton of anxiety that is making you absolutely miserable. One thing I disagree with you on is the statement that anxiety can't kill you. It can create thoughts that can lead to many kinds of decisions that could lead to your death. One clarification: Are you saying that because of some past drug abuse that you're unable to get prescribed some anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication? Again we appreciate the courage you've shown to make your post here. Let us know where we might be of some help.

I want to let you know you are not alone. The pain you are in is shared by many to varying degrees. I think it is good you are expressing yourself. It is clear that you are very hard on yourself, I want you to know you are worthy of compassion. I would encourage you to explore medication as part of being self compassionate. Sometimes we have to question and rethink our long held beliefs. I feel for your pain.

I understand why you would think that saying what you are going through would hurt others but it is actually the opposite. People want to know they are not alone in this and they also really want to help.

One of the biggest benefits for me is hearing about other people's struggles and doing my best to help. It gives everyone hope and the greatest hope you can give yourself is showing yourself that you can be someone else's hope.

People help other people because in the end it helps us all. There is nothing more that an anxiety sufferer would like to see than one of us overcome it. If we can help you overcome than we can all overcome. So please post whatever you need to.
