Hello, just introducing myself. I'm new here. I've been reading posts for a couple of weeks but too scared to post because I have low self esteem and feel dumb. I suffer from bipolar, mdd, anxiety, emetophobia, and agoraphobia to mention a few. I haven't left my house since January so, that's what I'm working on currently. Thanks to everyone here for being honest and brave posting.
Feeling anxious today for some reason.
Have a good day everyone!
Welcome.. so glad you got up nerve to post. My heart goes out to you, you are dealing with a lot. As many of us are. No judgments here. Hope you have a good day.

Welcome to the community and kudos for writing your first post! As others said share what you feel comfortable sharing. We all have issues we've been dealing with, some a short while, some for decades. Hope you receive the support you are seeking and begin to feel better.
Thank you so much, you're helpful 😊
Welcome, so glad you joined us. I understand your feelings of feeling dumb. I always felt that way even after obtaining my nursing degree. My father told me I wasn't smart enough to go to college and become a nurse. Even though eventually after alot of encouragement from a therapist I did obtain my RN license. However it always stuck with me that I wasn't smart. I also still have fear about posting. I have had so much judgment against me during my life especially these last 5 years after my boyfriend committed suicide, that I still fear being judged. The harsh judgment hasn't come from this community but the one I live in here at home. It took a year before I could leave my house. So I understand a little what you are going through. Just give it time here you don't have to share your deepest darkest secrets. I think you can learn alot just by reading the posts Iike you have been. 🤗 Hugs!
Thank you so much, that gives me hope. Much appreciated 🙏
Btw, you're so not dumb. Being a nurse is extraordinary!
You are so kind. I have to resist those thoughts !😀 You are smart also.👍
You made it through anatomy you ain't dumb. Jus' sayin'. Just because someone says something, it don't make it true. In my experience, the nastier the comment is, the less likely it's about anything good for you.
Glad you joined. It took me a while before deciding to post a comment too. Now I am comfortable doing it.
Please reach out whenever you feel you want to. Good people here.
Thank you so much 🫂
You are safe here... Glad you summoned courage to post. Take it one day at a time.
That I will do. Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊
Hi Swilly79, Welcome to the forum. We all have our ups and downs, some days things are particularly bad. Take some time off, if you could, just rest and be at peace. Avoiding crowds can help but keep company of things or people who love like your books, pets or family. Sometimes, learning something new like drawing or a new language also helps to focus and overcome one's fears.
Best wishes and happiness to you.
This is helpful, thank you 💙
Thank you 😊
Hi Swilly,
This is my baby. She likes to scream, have me be her food-tester, likes to destroy paper, and decorates the house with bananas.
Lol and, I'm in love! She's beautiful! Thank you for sharing 🙂💝😍
You're welcome. I hope I see and learn more of Gia. She's special.
Thank you, she's currently sick. We hope its just from antibiotics from the vet.😫
I'm sorry she's not well. I hope you'll keep us updated.
Thank you! I will. She seems a little better today. Fingers crossed 🤞
