Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I have been suffering with anxiety for about 6 years. I have mostly got it under control with medication and therapy. I wanted to join in the hopes of helping someone else out there find relief.

Welcome. We are all here to give and receive support. We learn a lot from each other.

Welcome maslater. You have found a wonderful group of caring people who suffer yet understand anxiety and depression. We have good and bad days and come here when we need comfort/support as well as offer comfort/support. I’ve been on both ends.

I suffer from anxiety that has hit me harder than I’ve ever experienced before a few months back. There were many triggers/reasons for this happening. I’ve always been able to bounce back, but this time I wasn’t.

I’m in therapy, I take medication, I use the tools given to me by my therapist and also tools recommended here. It is a struggle and mornings are the worst, but I’m learning to cope one day at a time and fighting my way back to how I was before this horrid episode of anxiety hit me sideways.

Your opening post gives me, as well many others, hope that one day we can say we’ve battled anxiety and won.

I look forward to getting to know you better.

😊Eileen
