Hi my name is Alexis and my anxiety started when I was around 10 years old when my parents got divorced. Ever since then any tiny thing can make me anxious. I hate going out in public and when I do I always rush to get back home. I have a hard time trusting people and so I don't have very many friends or a significant other. I guess I have general anxiety.

anyway hope I can meet some people who are like me. Thanks for reading!

Hey Alexis.

Does sound like General Anxiety doesn't it.

Do you do any therapies, do you have any strategies for managing it?

That's a long time you've had it now. You'll certainly meet anxiety sufferers here.

Nice to meet you :)

Nice to meet you as well. There are a lot of good people here and help. With that said.....Have you gone to a therapist yet ? They can teach you about GAD and how to handle it and maybe defeat it at its core. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a must to help help yourself as well as support of family and prayer.
