Hi, this is my first time doing something like this, but i really feel like i need to. Sometimes it’s really hard to get through the day and pretend it’s all ok but it’s not. Its even harder when your family kind of just passes over you.
I’ve been feeling really anxious recently, about what I’m doing with my life, where I’m going. I’m really scared actually that I’m just stagnant and never going to move anywhere. It’s hard to concentrate on the things i do. The classes I’m taking and at work because I’m always worried about where i am. It doesn’t sound like much, i know, but even as I’m writing this I’m feeling all of the anxiety bubble to the surface. I’ve never sought out help before. I don’t live in that kind of a family, but i thought this would be a nice place to just let it all out.
You will do great on here then! Most everyone is so supportive!

Welcome to this community, my friend!
Yes, offering a newcomer especially to private message right away is a huge red flag. We need to do everything we can to keep this community safe.
Welcome! Its good that you admit you need help that is a good start to getting better. Know that here you will get support and ecouragement! You can vent all you need. If you need anything dont be afraid to ask me or someone else as we will be happy to help! If anxiety is the problem then finding something to fidget with could help like a scrunchie to tug on or a stretchy braclet to fiddle with. It is not garenteed to work but it helps others so it would be worth a shot. also do you take any medicine for this?
I am not, but I’ve decided to finally talk to my doctor about it, because I’ve been struggling with depression for a good couple of years subs I was a young preteen. And I’ve only just entered my twenties so it feels like I’ve stopped before I’ve even started .
Thank you, I’m glad to see I made the choice of doing this.
the doctor I’m seeing now does not know about what I’ve been struggling with. Its been hard to even admit to myself that I am because mental health is not really considered a thing in my culture. The belief is that prayer will get you through it all. And while I respect that, I also know it isn’t doing everything I need it to, so I decided that when I see my doctor at my scheduled appt I’m going to be more transparent regarding everything thats been going on. I hope I can go through with it and maybe get closer to finding help. Wish me luck.
