New here

Hi. I've struggled with anxiety/depression for years now. I think we can all agree it is a rollercoaster of trying to cope. I guess I joined this group because I have felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness lately. I see a counselor once a week, but I still feel like my mind is... I don't know. I always feel like I'm suffocating in this world. I'm 23, single, and unsure of my life path. At night, the silence of the world is so loud, and even though my friends and family try to support me, they don't understand. The thought of being vulnerable like this gives me a lot of anxiety, which is why I joined an anonymous group. I just hope to find people who can relate to make me feel less crazy and unafraid of these emotions.

Nights can be very difficult, the distractions of the day are gone and our minds take over. There's always someone awake here to fill that time gap for you

welcome to the community. You’re certainly not alone.

I struggle with anxiety and panic disorders and I often find my friends and family are more understanding and supportive than I think.

sending you grace for oneself ✨💞

Welcome. Glad you are here. There is support and good caring people here. We are all struggling with or managing our mental health. You are not alone in that. Everyone's journey is different. By the way, you don't have to nail down your life's path at 23 (most people have not). Also, your "path" may change multiple times over a lifetime. Free yourself of the pressure to figure everything out right away.

Again, welcome.

Welcome. You are definitely not alone. It's very difficult when you feel family and friends don't understand. They try. Hope you can find some support you need here. 🩷
