Hi Adele. I just joined this forum. When my anxiety flares up I feel lonely. No support groups in my area. Glad I found this site.

[Hidden in reply to Andi2]

Hi Andi2 I hope this site will help me when needed

[photobeats]

welcome to the forum adele. I'm not on these forums as much as I should be because the battle in my head is never ending but you can leave me messages if you need someone to talk to. I always get around to answering those. May we both find the peace we need in the days to come.

[Hidden in reply to photobeats]

Aww thank you that means a lot message me whenever you want to and I'll try and help if I can

[sklema]

I can relate, since I moved 5 years ago away from where I grew up I have not made real friends, and now having anxiety day to day has made that almost impossible.

[Hidden in reply to sklema]

All my life I've never had friends I get used to being lonely and the very few friends I did have soon lost interest when I told them I was of work with depression and anxiety some people can be so rude

[Wilburbudgirl in reply to Hidden]

I’m sorry!! I’ve always been a shy person so I’ve never really had many friends either! But anxiety does make me feel lonely! That’s awful they would lose interest just because of depression and anxiety instead of being there and trying to help you

[Hidden in reply to Wilburbudgirl]

It's fine I am used to it now tbh I'd be more anxious if I had loads of friends. Shy should be my middle name well

[Lostjoy in reply to sklema]

This is exactly what I am having such a hard time with. We moved, and I have no one who I know in the new place. It's very scary, and lonely.

[Hidden in reply to Lostjoy]

I was like that when I moved away miles away from my family

[Kakes808]

I am 43 years old. I JUST figured out a few years ago that I don't have any REAL friends. I found this out when I went into a deep depression and started having anxiety attacks. i would LOVE to get the chance to go back in life and NOT help all of those people who I thought were my friends. I am bitter and am very lonely also. i would like to suggest an app called meetup. It's just for making local friends, not dating. I decided it wasn't for me, but could be great for some people.

[Hidden in reply to Ladychef]

Hi lady chef I've been on the app meet up but tbh it wasn't for me sending u lots of hugs

Hello and welcome Adele

Hi 👋 and thank you 😊

Hi Adele! Glad that you have joined us! There are lots of great people on this site who can be your web friends, including me. I have anxiety and depression as well. I am working on getting better and it is hard work. My psychologist told me to get more exercise and to socialise more, so I am doing that, despite my anxiety. I went for a walk this morning and then went to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and tonight, am having coffee with someone - despite the inner trembling and the feeling that I would like to just go to bed and stay there. It's an hourly challenge. I am a person of faith, and repeat to myself that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". I rely heavily on prayer and God to help me through. I do things despite the fear that I won't be able to do them and so far, I have been able to do everything that I have tried to do, one thing at a time. Calm breathing, relaxing, calming music, taking my time, reminding myself that it's only anxiety and it will pass...all help me. I hope that you find help and support on this site, and that you also make some friends in your own area. Support groups are often good places to meet non-judgemental people who know what you are going through. Welcome, and all the best to you.

[Hidden in reply to menagerie11]

Hi menagerie11 I'm really glad I found this group. I am trying each day to help myself get better but I have found that this time around it has hit me ten times worse than last time I have good days and bad days. The medication I am on has made me put so much weight on I am hopefully going to start a gym next month I'm hoping this will help me mentally and physically 💖

[menagerie11]

Hi again Adele. Working out is sure to help you both physically and mentally. I have good days and bad days too. Take it one day, or one hour, at a time. We will get through this! I've gone through this before and was in remission for 16 years. It WILL get better but we have to put in the effort, as hard as that sometimes is. All the best and hope you have a good day today.

[Hidden in reply to menagerie11]

Thank you 😊 you are so positive about things I hope you have a great day 💖

[menagerie11]

Thank you! Remember, it's just anxiety and it will pass.

[Hidden in reply to menagerie11]

Thank you 😘
