Looking for friendship!

Hello to everyone,

I am looking for someone to talk with about having anxiety. Maybe sometimes it is just better to talk with someone or walk with someone instead of keeping everything bottled up inside. If you agree, perhaps we can talk and walk together?

Hello nice to meet you. It's good to talk and share a problem. I don't suffer from anxiety so no first hand experience. I am depressive type!

But there are plenty of people who can help on the site and hopefully someone will reply soon.

As for walking,I guess the limitations of the virtual world mean that's not going to happen here. But as you talk you can still imagine a woodland path. Or even better use mobile data and follow own path as talking on site.

Hi, I suffer with anxiety and have done for years. I find it affects every part of my life, I have recently had to give up driving as I was getting so anxious about different situations. I had to give up work a few years ago due to my health. I also suffer with fibromyalgia, which has many symptoms, one of which is anxiety.

The most important thing I have found is learning to cope with the anxiety and not letting it beat you. I have many tips and I wouldn't mind sharing things with you. It is helpful to share our thoughts with others who suffer the same.

Take care of yourself.

David

Hi David,

I appreciate your reply to my post. It is nice to know I am not alone in suffering from anxiety. I would love to converse with you and perhaps learn some new tips on how to better cope with my anxiety. I have had my anxiety for twenty or so years. Usually I have a pretty good handle on it with the help of my medications. I am wondering if you have been prescribed anything from your doctor or do you just try to cope everyday on your own?
