Hello Everyone!

So I have recently been formally diagnosed with anxiety (even though I knew I had it all alone, I was just too afraid to go to the doctors and maybe accept it myself).

I have just started CBT which is very strange for me as I used to be a mental health support worker so I am not used to being the "client" as such.

Anyway I am looking to connect with others who are experiencing the same kind of thing as I am and not feel as alone I guess.

I feed as much positive into my mind as I can, it breeds more positive, as negative breeds negative...keeping busy is good for me too. I wish you all the best and am here for you!
