Hello everyone,

My name is Nour, I'm 23, Belgian but living in Liverpool in the United Kingdom. As many people here, I suffer from anxiety.

I have been suffering from it for a very long time, basically since my dad passed away 12 years ago. I spend hours and hours thinking about everything, about could happen, not happen to me, about people's behaviour, about life, etc. I can't really stop thinking and can't prevent myself from imagining the worse which means there are a lot of days where I don't sleep. I'm currently following a therapy and been advised to write down my thoughts but its not really my thing so thought signing up on here could be helpful.

I wish you all a good evening :)

Nour

Hi Nour and welcome :)

I know all about the thinking thing.. I used to want a lobotomy just to get some peace and the insomnia is like torture. Anyway, writing stuff down can be a big help and sometimes you just need the right medium. This place can be pretty good for that because people are generally understanding and try to be helpful.

All the best..
