new here

[WantsHelp2Change]

hi everyone. I’m new here and I just wanted to share a little about me. I’m a 36f who struggles with mental health issues (anxiety, emotional issues, trauma). I’m going through a breakup right now and this is the first time in my adult life that I will be single and chose to work on myself. I want to heal from the trauma and create new, healthy habits and coping mechanisms so I can live a happy and fulfilling life. I don’t have friends so also looking for support. Thanks everyone!!

Hi new friend :)You just took the first step forward towards healing.

Welcome to a safe caring group. xx

[WantsHelp2Change in reply to Agora1]

Thank you. I’ve had a few panic attacks today and it’s terrible, it feels like the world is ending.

[Agora1 in reply to WantsHelp2Change]

I agree Help2Change...it's a fear that can't be explained to someone who hasnever experienced it. I was amazed when I use to get them, in the power they

have over our mind and bodies.

And that's how it starts with a thought that comes over us that turns our adrenaline

on at full force. As we then begin to fear what's happening to us, the adrenaline levels

rise causing Fear of Fear. Once this happens Anxiety takes control of our lives. But

this doesn't have to be.

As you continue reaching out to us, you will find what works for you in reducing your

anxiety through the experiences of others on this site. *including myself.

But one step at a time.. Right now, know that you are not alone. Take our hand

as we support you with understanding on your new path to recovery. xx

Your forum name is a little bit of a mouthful but I am more than happy to extend a simple friendship towards you. Welcome to the site.

[WantsHelp2Change in reply to 101315]

I didn’t know what else to put lol

[101315 in reply to WantsHelp2Change]

Your name is fine, I only said what I said as an ice breaker.

[WantsHelp2Change in reply to 101315]

I’m not very good mentally right now and when you’re feeling like that, all you want is for it to stop and I’ve been using a bandaid for years and NOW is the time for me to actually address/heal/fix it so that’s why I put it. Nice icebreaker though lol

[101315 in reply to WantsHelp2Change]

I am glad to have breached your defences a little. I am also healing myself and it has proven to be a challenging task. I certainly would not be opposed to having another supporter and I am more than willing to reciprocate. Misery loves company and all that.

There are some great people on this forum that give me strength and while I am not in a great place, I enjoy sharing my positivity and strength back to those that can benefit from it whenever I can.

You sound AMAZING! I think it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and work on growing and healing. You got this. I just joined the group as well. I hope we both find it helpful 🙂

[WantsHelp2Change in reply to Loreli91]

Thank you soooo much!!! Some days, I do feel amazing…I’m trying to keep that feeling up everyday or close to it. I have to be courageous because I know that I HAVE to do this. And welcome to the group. I’m sure you will find it helpful. Feel free to add me as well. Thanks again!!
