Hi everyone, my name is Lexie and I am currently in occupational therapy school and hoping to learn more about online support groups. I have close family members and friends close to me that live with anxiety, so I chose this particular support group. I am excited to learn and understand the people I love most a little more, and ultimately how to be of support to them.

Hi lexiemarieI, Welcome to the Anxiety support group. This forum has men and women of all ages dealing with anxiety issues. We learn from each other through our experiences. It can be a lonely disorder because of not being fully understood by the general public. I can tell you that both physical therapy and occupational therapy has carried me through many times while struggling with both Anxiety and Fibromyalgia. OT is an important part of rehabilitation. I wish you well with your studies. I hope you will be able to learn a lot about what we are about so that you can help family members, friends and future patients. Happy to Welcome you :) xx
