So this is my first post. Not going to lie... I'm anxious writing it. I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression for about 6.5 years now. I have been blessed because the people in my life are super supportive but I feel like such a burden when I need to talk about what is causing me to struggle or when I want to express my feelings. I just don't want to bother them. I also feel like they don't entirely understand.
I'm just looking for friends that can relate and understand better.
You're in the right place. You'd be hard pressed to find an experience that someone here hasn't already been through. Offering each other our experience, strength and hope is the blessing of this site. Welcome!
Welcome buddy! In here you can share anything. And you are gonna be aburden to no one. And personaly i also find comfort in reading others post, knowing im am not alone.
So welcome passion! Know you are not alone!
I’d be happy to talk well. I prefer one on one chat vs group chat though. Just let me know!
Hi, and welcome. I have felt the same way as you for a long time. Not wanting to be a burden on anyone or knowing that many of my support people don't fully understand. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and depression, and I have found great comfort in being on this forum.
You have a friend in me. 😉
Hi & welcome. This is a safe place to talk about what's going on, a lot of understanding people who have been in similar situations. Like you I have a wonderful group of friends, but very few know about my anxiety & depression. It's hard to talk about & trust someone that much. Talking to people here much easier.
Hi, I definitely understand. I have family members that know I battle with anxiety but not to what extent. It’s a little sad that I can’t express my true feelings to them without feeling like I’m being a bother.
Wow, I understand your message so well.
You certainly don’t sound like a burden at all.
In fact you sound like a person who cares a lot about others. I’m sure your friends feel that way about you. Thank you for posting.
Welcome! I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to open up and share about what you are struggling with here. I've had problems with anxiety and depression for decades, so I definitely can relate. Sometimes when I am worried that I might become burdensome to others it helps me to write my feelings in a journal, but usually when I share my concerns with others, people tell me they are glad I told them what was bothering me instead of keeping it to myself. I can't recall anyone ever telling me that I was a burden to them. That's usually just my own negative thinking, not the other person's. Anyway, I'm glad you shared. I hope you feel better soon. I will be praying for you.
I'm so worried about failing m...
