Hi. I am new here. I have been suffering from anxiety disorder and panic attacks and feelings of low confidence for many years. I have been on medications for some years now. Even small things can trigger my anxiety. I am trying to cope with this by doing various activities. I like to cook for my family - it gives me immense pleasure. Running also keeps me happy. But I am unable to do a job or business.

Welcome! I have anxiety too and completely understand. Running and cooking makes me feel better too. I’m not working but I can only work part time. I’m looking for work. I’m on medication too. I take abilify. It has done wonders for me. Before I couldn’t even leave the house without major anxiety. Now I’m doing much better. I also meditate and do yoga. You might want to try meditation too. I find it very relaxing before bedtime. Good luck. I wish you well. You’re not alone!
