don’t know why I’m here

I don’t really know why I’m here. Meds, group therapy, individual therapy, hospitalization, intensive outpatient. . . Nothing’s working. Don’t know what I’m looking for here.

Perhaps you are after some form of non-judgmental support? Maybe a sympathetic audience while enjoying anonymity? Hearing about the experiences of people who are in a similar plight? Why not take a chance and present yourself as you are? I am sure somebody will be willing to listen…

Hi, I don't know why I'm here either. I've done all the same things you have, therapy, meds, I've been hospitalized twice and after a little while, I feel like I'm back to square one. I'm hoping to find some people who have been though similar mental health issues and continued to persevere. Compare notes. Maybe find something that's helped others and can also help me. Or even just to find people who can understand the hardships that we endure on a daily basis. Idk if that helped at all..

I joined this group for the same reason. I just wanted to find people who could relate to what I'm dealing with so I won't feel so alone and maybe get some new ideas on how to deal with life. Someone here recommend Claire Weekes book and I got that from the library. Good read. Then someone else recommended Rewire Your Anxious Brain so I got that one too. That one was excellent and explained exactly how I feel. I was shocked to see that someone actually wrote a book about me! I just ordered that one from Amazon so I can have my own copy to read again and highlight things. Another person on here said "you won't get better until you stop trying to get better" and he explained the statement. We have to stop focusing our brain on our issues 24/7 and just live life. So hard to do when anxiety/adrenaline/cortisol is running through your brain. I'm glad you are all here and we can share life together. Barbara

Welcome! I think your in the right place. You'll find that most on here are kind and understanding. What I get from this support is a feeling of being less alone in my journey of life. I find comfort knowing there are others who can relate to me and I them. Hopefully you will find some comfort in sharing here. 😊

I agree I came in here to talk to other people who understand what we are going through

This is a good group. Lots of support and a good place to vent. And maybe you'll find some tips that may help you. Kinda like free therapy.

Hi new friend. You are here because you are not about to leave any stone unturned.

Deep down inside, you want to be healed from this nightmare. I went through all the

steps that you did including being Agoraphobia for 5 years (never leaving my home)

And yet, with persistence and researching and finding other methods and tools, I

reached my goal of success. I've now been here 8 years in passing my success forward.

Did I ever think I would get to this point?? Definitely...I knew that I had the power deep

within me to win over Anxiety. I was not going to let this entity take away any more days

of my life that it already had.

I never gave up. I never lost hope. I turned my thinking around to a more positive

approach. It took time, it takes persistence but so worth it.

Life is Good now. I'm back in control. Welcome to a safe place to come whenever you

need a friend who understands and who cares. xx
