Reinventing Myself

I'm new to this forum, actually was online and happened to stumble across the site. I have been suffering from anxiety for over 18yrs but wasn't diagnosed until 2015. Mostly I was living for my kids until I lost custody of them in 2009 and gave up the fight in 2015 that's when the symptoms got really worse. I was suffering from IBS-D for over 15yrs and that's how I learned that I had anxiety. When the doctor prescribed me meds I didn't take them for fear it would mess with my mind. Believe it or not, it was what I needed, but due to being out of work and dealing with the Veterans Administration who won't fill my medication I've been trying to cope without them until I find work and get medical insurance to get back on them. So I welcome any tips from all of you and wish you a Blessed and Anxiety Free 2019!!

I am sorry you are facing this! I struggled for a time with anxiety and know how difficult it can be. What helped me most was seeking the advice and help from a counselor, friends and my church. I would recommend checking out the resources here bit.ly/2mFxWoz. I found them to be inspiring and helpful. I hope you find them to be useful. Best wishes to you! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
