Trying to heal

My first time writing on here, or to any site for that matter. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression since I was a child. Now at the end of my rope with no where else to turn, I felt I should explore this. I am praying and hoping to get better so I can be the best mom and individual that I know I can be. Going through a divorce now, years of emotional and some physical abuse, trying to heal and move forward. I always thought I had things under control, I can now admit, I need help. We have so much to gain and so much to offer each other. My quote for the day.

Hello......Iam actually new here too and you are not alone. I didn't realize my anxiety was so bad until I started hearing noises from my neighbor that drove me crazy and I begin worrying and questioning everything. Iam terribly sorry about the years of abuse and divorce is never easy but there is most definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. "This too shall pass" is a quote Ive been trying to live by and it has helped me see that pain is only temporary and we can take control of our situations. I sincerely wish you the best and will pray things get better.

So sorry to hear about your story. They say it shall pass but question is when. Hard to stay positive. We do have some control of our situations, so true. Thanks for putting things into perspective. All you can do is pray and continue trying to gain that control.. I guess it controls you or you control it. You are in my prayers!!

Anxietywhyme...Welcome.. Quite a first post

I love playing cards and of course the idea is to win but never at the

expense of losing ourselves. In life, we accept what we have been dealt

and play through each hand getting more confident and experienced as

we play.

You've taken the first step in getting the support and understanding we

can offer you. Through our own experiences and our caring, you will but

find this your "safe place" to come to when feeling overwhelmed.

One day at a time, we are always just a message away. xx

Thank you so much for your kind words and support, means a lot. This is the only place I have felt safe enough to share anything.

Thank you for sharing with us. Pop in here whenever you want to get out of yourself for a while. Talking to others with similar problems can be a big help. It was for me.
