I am new to this group. I am experiencing depression and anxiety once again. Therapy did not work for me. So I’m hoping I can make a connection / progress here.
I am a chronic overthinker and worrier. I try to pick up new hobbies like reading but my overthinking makes it unenjoyable. I feel very stuck in my life as if I will never progress. My self esteem is very lowkey despite being viewed as successful by others/on the surface.
Does anyone else feel the same? Please share.

hi there. I just made up the name. I do like flowers and I can be a little wild sometimes lol :). I like your name too - it gives me a lot of positive vibes. Yes- it doesn’t take much to set me back or trigger my overthinking. It is really tough. It effects my social life and work.
Welcome to the group! I have much anxiety and sometimes even panic attacks. Sometimes my anxiety follows me around like a dark cloud. I try to tell myself to not take bad feelings seriously. Sometimes it is easier than other times. Please post whatever you feel comfortable with, and you should find this to be a supportive community with many caring people. Sending prayers and holding you in the light.
Thank you so much. I am very sensitive and tend to make a big deal out of things that are not. I am so tired of being this way. I don’t know how to change. I was fine for a while but now it’s all coming back.
8pm here. Getting close to my bed time but I like to stay up as a late possible. I do not look forward to sleeping because sometimes my negative thoughts/ stress wakes me up in the middle of the night. That’s the worst.
Hey, I just joined this group a day ago and already have met some amazing people. But yes I feel like this every day and I'm also trying to find a way out of this. So far just keep your head up. Have you tried making a playlist for each mood it's what works best for me.
Wildflower, I understand feeling stuck, and the hopelessness that can get out of control when too fel like I'm not sure if I can ever get beyond this.. I am so very isolated in life, and starving for the human need to connect, in conversation. I know how that can add a spark of life and light that energizes my withering spirit. It's really hard right now, like feeling deprived of oxygen.
Hello wildflower I've been here only a couple days but everyone has been very supportive. I can relate. I am also a massive worrier. Every little symptom I feel gives me the immediate doom feeling in my stomach. It seems to have just come out of nowhere.
