Welcome to the community! Everyone is very supportive. To get started, just read through some posts and responses and reply and/or post about yourself as you feel comfortable. Some may reply fairly quickly, some not depending on where they are in the world or if they are even comfortable responding or if they can relate. Again, welcome to the community!!!

hello. you made it here. welcome.

[Andrea25]

don't want to burden everyone but i would appreciate one or two tips in getting the anxiety under control. Today it feels like quicksand. I tried deep breathing but the pit on my stomach refuses to go away... Any tips?

[Kat_21 in reply to Andrea25]

You aren't burdening anyone, I promise. Especially not here. That's what this community is for. The thing that I've learned helps me the most is grounding myself using my senses. 10 things I can touch, see, hear, etc. Really helps me come back to reality. I hope this helps a little. I'm here if you need a friend, and I hope things get easier.

accept it. occupy your mind by being busy with something.
