At first, my purpose became just to get well. I suppose it's still one of my driving goals. As I've gotten more accustomed to the reality of my anxiety, future goals are slowly coming back into view. Some are small, some are big - but one of them is fulfilled by this site. Sharing my experience, strength and hope with others on this journey is truly a bright spot in every day at the moment.

I agree with JAYnLA. My whole purpose in life has been to be self aware and find a way to not only cope but to enjoy life sometimes. I have to keep my life simple but always to follow my passions.

I made a promise to myself many years ago to survive and deal with things though my coping mechanisms are poor. x

I’ve never been sure what my purpose in life is. All I’ve ever wanted is to love and be loved. But I know that’s not something you can set as a career goal, ha ha.

I just want to have a normal life and not have these weird, frightening feelings any more.

I bet if you asked a thousand different people you would get a thousand different answers. And understandably so. Humans want to know why we exist. As a Christian, I look to the Bible for my answers to life's complicated questions, and in answer to this one, here is what I found:

"... whom I have created for My glory..." found in Isaiah 43:7 and

"... whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

These might appear to be simple answers to an otherwise complex topic, so if you'd like to know more of what they mean, I invite you to write back and I would be happy to chat with you. I hope this helps.
