hey everyone,

I’m new to this, hoping to meet and talk with others that have anxiety. I don’t know anyone personally that has anxiety or panic attacks like I have, so it would be nice to talk to people who actually understand what I’m going through.

Welcome to the group. I have an anxiety disorder (and major depression). So I can identify with your post. Sometimes I’m so afraid something is going to happen, I’ll have a panic attack. It’s rough to always feel like the other shoe is about to fall. I try to remember that F.E.A.R. Is just False Evidence Appearing Real.

Mindfulness and staying in the moment are other tools I use to stave off the anxiety. Otherwise I’m pushing myself to cover anticipatory bases that don’t need the effort.

Meditation works well too.

Glad you’re here and hope it helps you.
