Hello. Over the years I have suffered in silence amongst my thoughts. I have endured many different situations that have drawn me just about crazy. I have tried time and time again to find help, from therapists, friends, counselors, medications, and I continue to feel alone and untreated. The recent therapist spoke to me about online forums, I thought I would look into it. I have been diagnosed with severe OCD, severe Anxiety and depression. Because of these, I have now developed stress/anxiety asthma attacks. I don’t really know what I need, I feel like I just need to hear others who have felt emotion in themselves, because no one around me seems to understand when I explain. I feel as if everyone around me thinks I’m just a joke or too emotional. I guess my question is, is there hope here? Has this forum helped you?
Hope?: Hello. Over the years I have... - Anxiety and Depre...
Hope?
hey there! I see from your profile pic we have a lot in common
I am new to this online help group, I think I’ve been on here about a week. I can tell you it has helped me SO much. I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone!!!!
I have been diagnosed with panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. And honestly life has been pretty rough these last almost two years. I have found so much solace in people’s responses to my posts as well as interacting with others post.
I just want you to know you are NOT alone. I understand your feelings. It’s hard, but you can do it. You truly can!!
If you have time, check out my last post on health anxiety, some awesome people shared some great resources with YouTube, books, etc. You may not have health anxiety but they may be beneficial to you as well.
I wish you the best. I’m glad to see a fellow horse lover on here
