Hello I'm New Here!

[anxietycrusher]

Hey everyone, I'm Dorothy. I'm new to this forum but not to anxiety forums in general. I used to have crippling anxiety and panic attacks but am doing so much better now. I'm better for many reasons, most of which I'm sure will come out as I continue to post, but one of them is forums like this one. Back when my anxiety was really bad, I joined a forum that made me feel less alone and got me the help I needed. I am so grateful for that, and the only way I know to repay this incredible service is to do it for someone else. I'm not a doctor or an expert by any means; all I know is from my own experience. But I really think I can help. Frankly, there are probably a million things that I don't know too, and I'm sure you all can help me with that.

I really look forward to answering/asking questions. I think that the more you learn, the more you know, the more you connect with other people who have shared in your pain, the better off you can be. If any of you need anything feel free to send a PM my way.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Dorothy.

I couldn't agree more with this paragraph ^^^^

I've been thought some really hellish times both in childhood & young adulthood, but I've always acknowledged those bad times & been able to draw on those times to help advise or support other people who have been, or indeed who still were in, a similar situation.

I'm a strong believer in turning the negative into a positive 8)
