I feel a fraud

[GrayEm]

Compared with many on this forum I dont really have any problems. In fact I have much to be thankful for. So why am I so anxious? Beats me!

Your not a fraud at all ! dont be thinking that

I believe if you suffer with anxiety , well it doesnt mean you have to have problems as such to suffer you just do

When you read the blogs its just some have problems as well , so therefore could be contributing to feeling more anxious

Someone did a blog asking how many famous people suffer with this ? you could say well if you are famous , money , good life etc why should they suffer , but they do !

We all have things to be grateful for & I am sure we are , we can tend to focus on the negatives , so your blog has been good for me as its made me think about thinking what I have got , & like others this can cloud that thought , but you have reminded me ..thank you

Love

I concur with that,

I can spend sooo long dwelling on negatives that I forget what I do have, my partner who loves me regardless, my cats who love me coz I feed them lol and my sense of humour.

You are not a fraud, you are our friend xxx

anxiety can hit anyone, theres another blog here somewhere about famous people with mental health problems and i always imagine them to have great lifes. it really can hit anyone and alot of people dont know why thats just the way this crappy illness works. you are not a fraud, you suffer with mental health.

Please don't say that you are a fraud this site is open to anyone who is anxious or suffers with a nervous disposition anxiety, panic attacks whatever the problem. Being anxious if a form of being fearful has anything happened that is making you feel this way?

Sometimes we can be having a bad day and ponder over the negative things instead of all the positive things you do. Or perhaps we are placing so much importance on something that does not deserve our energy.

This site is like family everyone is trying to beat demons overcome what is robbing them of their life and families. I say this because its how i feel at times.

We all get anxious its normal but hope you overcome this soon.

We cannot measure anxiety as people here all have their different levels.

Hope you find peace and comfort from genuine people here that care.

Love Seyi xx

Hi Gray,

No, you are definitely not a fraud. This isn't a competition. There is no prize for who has the worst anxiety!!!!!

Seriously, love, we all have our own level of struggle. You have your issues and I have mine and we deal with them in our own way but to a greater or lesser extent anxiety plays a role in our lives and we'd rather it didn't.

Never feel like you shouldn't be here. You are a much needed and valued member of this community who uses their experiences to help and support others. You are needed and appreciated here.

Love
