Hi ! Out there in anxiety land.

[Ellak26]

When I joined this group I was hoping to find some people out there who I could chat with who have a anxiety disorder like I do. What I have noticed is that some of you have your own clicks and only chat with one another. I am not putting the group down , but a little disappointed that it wasn't what I thought it would be. I guess I should find a group here in the US where I am.

Hello

I am sorry you feel this way

Sometimes we have to remember that members will all or most be suffering with anxiety and sometimes do not always feel up to making replies to others and yes it can hurt when we join somewhere and want support

I have tried to ask members if they would volunteer as caretakers on the site so they could look out for newcomers and help make them feel a part of the Community but unfortunately no one seems to have volunteered as I believe this could help members feeling as you do now

Members are from the UK , USA and many other parts of the world in this Community and it is great that all can be brought together to share their experiences

I am sure no one has not replied to you intentionally but sometimes posts do go un answered and I know we can take it personally but please be reassured this is not the case

Have you tried to reply on other posts ? this can be a way as well as posting to get talking with other members

Stick with us I am sure given time you will get to know people

I have just had a quick look and you have done 3 posts and all posts have had replies which with so many members asking for help that is quiet good , there are so many members that get no replies , but keep posting as eventually someone gets back to you

Sorry you feel this way I'm not part of no group or click I wasn't aware that was an issue.

I'm always happy to chat if you feel you need it 🙌🏻

So sorry you feel this way. I am pretty new, I rarely post. Some members are really lovely who have replied to me in the past. If I ever see your posts I will always try to help you.

Hi Ellak26, I am in the U.S. too. I am sorry that you feel disappointed in the group. I responded to you twice in the first post that you wrote. Believe me you won't find a more caring and supportive group of people than are in this forum. There are no clicks, there are just people who tend to respond to one another with the same symptoms. It's a slow development of friendship. There are so many times that people are in a crisis mode and others (even in their own suffering) reach out to that person. I sometimes follow through in making sure they are okay the next day but it has nothing to do with my concerns of one person over another. I would be more than happy if you wanted to PM me anytime you felt you weren't being heard. But actually posting for the community will get you more responses. Please continue to come on board, soon you will see there are others like yourself who suffer with the same issues regarding anxiety. Wishing you well, you are not alone x

Hi Ella, please don't feel like that. I'm not on here often but I try to share info with people that have similar symptoms to me or that I find interesting. I'm not aware of any groups but I must say that I'm still learning to navigate the site. It is hard when you chat with people from around the world as time differences can be a bit of a barrier. I hope you manage to find some people to chat with.
