Hello.....

[BlessedMom]

Never in a million years would I imagine that I would land here....and not in a bad way, but in a WOW what took so long way. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I was my fathers main caregiver in 2009 when he was abruptly diagnosed with lung cancer, in 10 short weeks he was gone. It triggered my anxiety from childhood.....as a child I experienced anxiety and ocd....a result of sexual abuse from a neighbor. I am here to get help and hopefully grow. On the outside I am a very active parent, supporting wife, coach, fitness instructor, and school worker and housekeeper. Inside, I feel inadequate and sad. I feel like every little thing is HUGE, and I make a big deal out of what is nothing. I envy those that enjoy life..... I hope that by laying it all out I can help others and that I can be helped. This is a big step for me.....be kind :)

hey :)

Welcome

Merry Christmas too, for a few days time!!

You certainly manage things well, at least on the surface to remain so active in life! That's a credit to you. You certainly have reason to be anxious, given things you've faced. Losing somebody suddenly can really really unsettle the mind. Something not right about it. Something scary. Upsetting too.

My OCD came on as a result of some unprovoked street attacks. A little different to sexual abuse, but I think that 'powerless' theme has a lot to do with it's development at a young age.

Talking about stuff does help. Hearing common stories. Very useful. I hope you find meeting some people here helpful :)

And we have got the right script for you Blessed! :)

Welcome...

Who's ^^^^^^ guy above me,...must be a noob.

E-Man.....:D

[BlessedMom]

thanks for the welcome and Merry Christmas to you as well :) I am grateful to be able to function even with my anxiety....I am much better when I'm active and with people as opposed to alone. You know that saying, something about an idle mind? I just got a tetanus shot yesterday because I had myself convinced I was going to get it...... smh. I did need one, it was time, but where the HECK do these ideas come from. Spent HOURS researching tetanus, and because I have a cat, decided I needed a shot LOL I'm a freak sometimes.

[BlessedMom]

Thanks E-man :) I see you and Jesse in a lot of threads, nice of you both to be so supportive!

[Enduronman]

You think yer a freak??

Wait until you read some of our craziness on here!! You'll be rolling on the floors!! YAY!!!

Yes, there is a vast support team available friend, just push a button..and here we are (whether you want us or not LOL!) :)

Eman, you can't call her Blessed. We already have a Blessed. She's gotta stay as BlessedMom... Or mom!

Yeah, we post in quite a few threads lol. Sometimes we bring the humour, sometimes anxiety ass whooping. You've seen dog the bounty hunter, right? We call the guy above me Eman the anxiety hunter!


Good atmosphere here though. It's not a place where people wallow. There was a thread previously from users of other forums saying lots of people elsewhere often prefer to stay in their comfort zone and moan about it. People here usually look to get support, to give advice, and to get better. It works as everyone pulls in the same direction :)

The Anxiety Hunters are in the house!

Welcome again,..Blessed MOM!!! (I got scolded)...wa.

[jessed03]

Lol stifflersmom. I wonder if she gets that? Should a mom get that? I'm not sure. If my mom got it, I'd be like, ah cool... Then moments later think, but why have you been watching American pie, and not baking cookies like moms are supposed to?

I'm serious when I call him the Anxiety Hunter. Based himself on DOG.
