Hello all! New to site...lived w anxiety and stress my whole life it seems. Will spare the details for now...always thinking negative and worse case. Even w job, great job but always worried about losing job. Divorced several years ago, a good thing but cost a lot of money older teenagers that are never around...anyway just searching for answers. Would be nice t live happy and enjoy life vs stressing about life ALL the time.

Hi, I have also suffered with anxiety and depression my whole life. Of course for many years I didn’t know it was depression. I had a terrible childhood with an alcoholic father. I blamed him for years and finally forgave him after he died. I tried therapy at different times and meds but I believe it all depends on you. Have you tried meditation or counseling? I use meditation and it does relax me. Being around people helps me to. Remember, we are stronger than we think. Everyone is struggling about something

Thanks! No not tried meds or counseling. Yes, we are some days better than others.

I’m the same. New job that could be really awesome but I “think” I’ve already screwed it up. Sigh.

I wish I could just enjoy it and not constantly worry about having to need it. My previous job was just a means to an end. They paid me, it wasn’t challenging at all. But I wasn’t moving forward at all. This new job is using all of my background. I’m so worried about screwing up that it’s become not just a great chance to do what I love but a must have. I have to have any job and if I screw it up I’m going to be in a lot of trouble financially.
