I’m feeling slightly guilty. I post so much on here and there’s still more I want to share/get off my chest. But I feel like I don’t do enough to support others and for that I’m sorry. I feel like unless I give others more support I shouldn’t post on here

WHY is that? This is a great support group. You shouldn't feel like asking for help is work or you'll get in trouble if you do it wrong... there's no right or wrong way to share your feelings. Get the weight off your chest and I'm guessing it will help you feel not so guilty or repressed.

You've gotta get the anxious feelings out there. It's not helpful to keep it bottled up inside. It just festers in the deep darkness of our overactive 🧠 brain and can't be resolved if it's trapped inside going round and round in circles of angst.

I know it's not easy to begin opening up. Do it slowly...but make a commitment to doing it on your terms. We'll all be here waiting.❤️‍🩹

We have your back, Daisy. Post whenever you need to get something off your chest. It can feel a little scary since replies sometimes take hours to start coming in but that’s because we are all in diff time zones. Life_is_the_pits had a great advice to start small and build from there. We are here for you!

Daisy, never feel guilty in reaching out for the help you need. We all have times in

our lives where reaching out is so important in keeping afloat. We are here for each

other. Until you feel secure, let us hold your hand and walk the walk with you, with

no guilt what so ever. :) xx

Throw the guilt in the trash😀

Keep posting your thoughts and feelings. I think that’s one of the purposes of this forum. Also, by sharing, you embolden others.

Kinda makes you heroic in a way.

Peace and love to you always. 👍🏾

Don't fret about it. We all need help when we first come here, and gradually we move towards helping others as we get to feeling a little better.

Cheers, Midori

It's just your anxiety telling you things that aren't true. Nobody here is judging you for how much or how little you post or respond to people. Anxiety can make you think and feel things that aren't true and one of the keys to healing is learning to never believe your anxious thoughts and know that they are lies.
