I'm brand new to this site as of today. Sounds like there are lots of good support! My anxiety is taking over my life and I need to get better. Just don't know how to improve.

[Hidden in reply to Victory_7]

Welcome to this group there is so much support from amazing people on here my inbox is always open if u want to chat

[Victory_7 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks- I appreciate it. My anxiety has become so bad it's affecting my family, work, sleep, and other areas of my life. The constant spinning wheel of worry when I wake up and when I go to bed is hard to manage. I'd definitely be open to chatting with you sometime.

[Hidden in reply to Victory_7]

At the moment my anxiety is under control but my depression is bad again lately

Thank's. Keith.

[Hidden in reply to kiki1952]

Hi Keith I wouldn’t like to say how long it has took but the first 5-7 days I felt really sick but that soon passed I need to have something to eat whilst I’m having the tablet so u have one tablet or two a day?

[kiki1952]

One tablet a day and I feel really sick as well.

[Hidden in reply to kiki1952]

Very good to "hear" good news, and from half the world away! You must be in UK or Australia "whilst" you were writing your post.

[Hidden in reply to HearYou]

Yep am in the uk England where are you from?

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

US "while" I read your reply.

[Hidden in reply to HearYou]

Good

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

We live in such an interesting world, where linguistically YOU actually speak English, but the US speaks the American language and don't even know it. But we manage to communicate anyway.

[Hidden in reply to HearYou]

Oh ok lol thought I’d wrong something wrong

[old-soul]

Two countries divided by a common language.

[Hidden in reply to old-soul]

Have I wrote something wrong or not???

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

OH, no you are fine! But just showing the evolution of the English language that occurred over the years and distance, and technically according to linguists, people who live in the US speak American language.......you and folks in Australia say "whilst", which morphed into the word "while" in the US...so Old Soul was making a clever joke and "play on words."

So just enjoy the joke and smile....most people on this venue would never even notice what Old Soul did and how I knew the two places where you probably live. It's WONDERFUL! It was just one word that made that possible.....so if you see "while" in a message to you, you know where that writer lives!

[old-soul in reply to Hidden]

lol no not at all. It's just a funny thing friends on opposite sides of the pond have said for years. "Two countries divided by a common languave" is an old expression. You know, in the US is you're looking for a lift, you need a ride somewhere, and I'm the UK you're looking for an elevator, or tyre vs tire ect.

I have had the privilege of working with people from all over the planet on more than one occasion and we Brits and Americans often like to goof around about different expressions.

Cheers!

[HearYou in reply to old-soul]

OK. Great! What's your understanding and word for hitchhiking? Did it all over the US and Canada when young and foolish (and car...auto..less)

My husband's occupation places us on a ship every month somewhere going somewhere. My Spanish is not fluent, but my ears took a real flip when bringing a ship back from Barcelona to the US last year. Castillian Spanish and Hispanic Spanish and Cuban Spanish, throw in a little Portuguese, and I reverted to German.

My nearby church has Mass in Spanish, Portuguese and "American" language. Makes for a full day to sit through them all.....forgot Italian too.

Adios!

[HearYou in reply to old-soul]

And there is that difference between a woman's room and a "lou"....in China I could tell where a native had learned his/her English. Great interest in learning the equivalent American language word for the English words that were different. Yes, I KNOW...spelled "lou" incorrectly. lol

[old-soul in reply to HearYou]

Here in America, men don't ask their "mates" to come by and "knock them up before work" either. <chuckle> Not without getting strange looks anyhow.

[HearYou in reply to old-soul]

It's a new and very changing world here: may being exactly what it says.

[Hidden]

lol ok I enjoy chatting to people from all over the world

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

"ME TOO"!
