I would love to connect with people who won’t think I’m crazy when I explain the things that go through my anxious and panic ridden brain.

[Anna_and_Ollie]

I feel the same way as you.

I think this is the hardest connection to find.

Luckily this site exists otherwise I think I’d be hopeless.

You have friends here ❤️

That almost made me cry to read that. There’s something comforting knowing I’m not alone but also I hate that other people suffer like I do.

[Anna_and_Ollie in reply to HopefulHomebody]

I empathize with that statement. When I joined this site the comments that people left me did make me cry. But they were tears of relief.

I’m glad I got to comfort you even if it was a little bit. Most people desensitize themselves nowadays, I think society has created this as a norm.

I think people like us are incredible.

Thank you!!!

Can you let me know what makes you think you might be crazy ??

It is unlikely I will think that

I have such irrational fears. For example: driving, I don’t drive on highways, I can do side streets but if the lanes more than 2 then I get very anxious. Same with bridges or even overpasses. It started with having vertigo and now is just a control issue I think. But it’s hard to explain to friends that I can’t do certain things because I can’t drive that far or through that part town.

I met A Drop Dead Gorgeous female that will NEVER drive on California Freeways Ever !!! She is Terrified of them and I thought nothing of it.

I've always regretted not asking her out - she was incredible cute and far nicer to me than my Loser girlfriend at the time..

My mistake...

HopefulHomebody, believe me dear, there is no one on this site who would think

badly of you or judge you in any way. We are all in the same boat. Feel secure in knowing this is a safe place to come to and express your worries and fears. We understand xx

[HopefulHomebody in reply to Agora1]

Thanks you. It’s touching to hear people are so understanding.

It’s almost embarrassing to tell people who don’t understand that I walked out of my house and thought what if I left the door open and everything gets stolen O_O...

Sometimes, I drive away. Sometimes, I have to go back and check. It’s never been open when I come back. But it feels like I’m leaving my house to get robbed and I’m irresponsible.

They get more and more irrational. It’s a lot to have to comfort yourself about things that feel very real. My brain thinks they are a current problem 😅🤔😆

I can’t remember off the top of my head all of them.

Take heart! Your brain is trying hard to visualize all the circumstances to keep you safe! It’s just a little too extra sometimes lol. We understand.

[AnxM]

That sounds like me!

[Boyshape]

My brain creates the most unlikely situations that permenantly terrify me and make me want to hide from the world, and disappear in to my own personal black hole.. So I could never think you crazy.... I'm new to this community but hoping to connect with like minds too.

[kenster1]

know how you feel spoke to a friend at the weekend on the phone and tried to explain the mind of the kenster he understood to a certain extent but its hard in the wider world if we have no one.
