I was going through a bit of anxiety about 30 minutes ago. I decided to log on to this site and I am feeling a bit better. I wish the site was more active but nevertheless, it does help to read what others are going through to let me know, I am not alone.

When I have feelings of anxiety, I now try to ride the wave because I know it will eventually pass and it does. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi Ladybj, I try to do the same thing with the waves. They seem to come on their own and go on their own. I make it worse by worrying so I try not to do that. I don't always win. lol I've had this for most of my life. I am going to be 81. Sometimes I went years before it would hit and then for awhile I would be cursed with it again. I hope you are feeling better. This is a good site. We certainly are not alone.

Hi Rosy,
Thank you for your reply. I feel a lot better. Yes, we make it so much worse by worrying about it. I tell my self, you felt this before and nothing happened..that help me soooo much. Wow, you will be 81, I give you a Standing Ovation...

Thank you. lol This anxiety knows no age limit. But having it when you are younger helps you as you get older.

It definitely feels good and helps to know that I am not the only one who lives with heavy anxiety. Reading how other people handle things helps--gathering their insight and experiences. This website and others have helped me, I'm still on the lookout for a group therapy to discuss these things in person with more people than I do now. Knowing people who can understand definitely helps.

It sure does. IF I can help in any way, let me know. There are people on here that I have learned a lot from. If I hear anything else that would help I'll let you know. I hope you have a good day.

I agree Kim.. It helps to know we are not alone. I do not have anyone in my family or close friends that I can talk with about anxiety because they are not going through it so I hardly every bring it up. My anxiety is sooooo much better than it was but I still have my days. So glad I found this site and I am here if anyone would like to chat. Hope everyone is having a great day.

I agree! I've been here for a while, and it's been really helpful for me. I've grown a lot.

I agree I wish it was a bit more lively. I think I'm used to Reddit where people responded so quickly. Just takes some getting used to. I think I've had anxiety and depression longer than I think. Wish you all well.

O have even told my therapist about this site. When I panic, this is the first place I go now.
