I’m new here

I’ve just recently admitted to myself that I have a problem. I have severe anxiety and depression. I’m ready to tackle this head on and love myself. I’ve struggled with this since childhood and it will take a lot of work. But I’ve just started the process of learning the tools to help make that happen. Thank you for having this community available.

Great 😊 Your definitely not on your own ! This site is exactly what I've been looking for and by the sounds of it for you too if you feel lonely! I can be in a room full of people and feel isolated because I feel no one understands my suffering/pain ! I think on this site nearly every person on here will understand your feelings/ frustrations / emotions etc because we are all going through something and we are all looking for support ! Just to know that someone cares is a reassuring feeling to know! 💗

I have left myself isolated because I’ve pushed everyone away. Worst of all I’ve left my husband and son feeling like they can’t do anything right and very much alone. I want so badly to stop being afraid and quit the cycle of never allowing myself to be happy.

I know that feeling only too well ! 😔I too have pushed my family / friends / husband away ! It's like I feel it's a crime to be happy sometimes! 😩 At least your recognising now and that's such a positive step in the right direction 💗

I don't really have anything useful to say, but I need to stay out of my own head right now. I hope you have an easy success with healing.
