Anxiety

[whatadream24]

Hello, I am new!

First off I want to say I’m here to meet and make some amazing friends who share similar experiences and interests as well as new techniques to help me with my anxiety. Recently, I moved with my long time boyfriend from my old apartment in the country. It’s been about a month since the move and I still miss being there terribly! Ever since the move, my old anxiety has popped back up and disrupted my happiness and health. I have been a Buddhist for 2 years, practicing and studying as well as learning and the techniques that I’ve learned from Buddhism haven’t been much help. I just don’t want to do much of anything like I used to and it’s upsetting. I’m a very positive person but lately I’ve been struggling and am looking for any kind of help

Hi whatadream24 and Welcome

Moving is always a top stressor. Add to that anxiety disorder and you need Time to readjust

your lifestyle. Maybe there are things you can do to make your new place a little like the one you were living in. Bring out some of your favorite items, blankets etc so when you see

them, it might give you a little peace of comfort as well as an "I'm Home" feeling.

Make a quiet place for you to have some Meditation time each day. It will help you feel the

calm and peace you once did. I wish you well in your new home. xx

Aw, thank you! I am trying my best to get comfortable but it’s taking a bit longer than I thought it would. I think about my old apartment everyday but I know better days are coming!

staypositive, I am truly sorry. Nothing can be as devastating as the news of

parents splitting up. If you remember anything about today, remember that

both your parents love you and will continue to love you whether living together

or apart. You are the miracle that came from their union and nothing can change that xx

staypositive112,

I’m so sorry to hear that! My mom raised me and I don’t remember many memories with my dad that were even good memories to be honest but my mom is amazing and she did her best raising me. I understand what you’re going through. I would stay with my dad some times and then go back to my mom. I’m older now and I’m sure it will all work out for you! You seem like a very sweet person
