Hi everyone. I just found this group and I am hoping it helps me be able to talk to others when I am feeling anxious. I haven't learned my way around this page yet, but I am open to any advice!! Thank you.

Welcome to our forum. Great place, with nice people, you’ll like it! I’m a bit of a Joker, lightening stuff up. That’s my opinion anyway! I feel I’m bringing a little lite into some dim places. Believe me, I get repaid generously! Just relax, get comfortable, do your thing. Glad you’re here

[SillyDolphin in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!! Joking is always a good thing. Are there chat rooms around here?

It’s sort of freewheeling. I think like 🎣 🐠 fishing. Post what you want and see what happens. Some swim around, some nibble, some bite, hook, line, sinker. I’m not saying the forum is ‘fishy’, great,nice, kind, people with the same motive I have; to help & be helped. The more effort I put into helping, dang, good! I’ll be here all nite ‘cause I’m an insomniac. OK with it at this moment. I’m free to do whatever I choose! See how I work it? Started about you, now about me. That’s my style. You apply yours. Try it! Later

First hello and welcome. Second I’m sorry you’re part of the group. Because that means you have had some difficulties. But thirdly hey it’s a fun group to be around and we’re all very helpful. You have definitely come to the right place.

About the best General thing I can suggest is to build your toolbox. Develop and collect every coping skill you can. Because nothings going to work 100% every time. So when one doesn’t work you just grab another one. You’ll find that there are a lot of people here that understand you. Sadly we all speak the same language. We’re all in the same boat and we’re happy to help.

Thank you for the welcome. I haven’t had much time to explore yet. Do you know of any resources that help you build a toolbox?

Thank you! I’m not sure how I came up with it honestly. I love Dolphins and I guess I enjoy being silly. Lol

[Dolphin14 in reply to SillyDolphin]

Well that is a perfect combination then.

Welcome! This is a wonderful forum with members with so much to offer! I have learned so much.

I have picked up apps like Insight Timer that I absolutely love to meditate with and use for its music for sleep at night or just to calm you during the day. Books by Claire Weeks, podcasts like The Anxious Truth have helped me find my tools. Mindfulness, exercise, reading, music, gratefulness, acceptance to name a few.

I wish you peace and wellness 😊💕🌻

Welcome! You can read and respond to any posts you like or are relevant to you. You can start a post of your own if you want feedback. I don't like to say advice because some are too quick to tell others what to do as opposed to suggesting something they have tried that works for them. You can also direct message someone as well.

Welcome! This is a safe place to vent, share, inspire, ask for support, feel understood and heard. It is really what you make of it whether you want to post and reply a lot or just read what others say. 💙
