my introduction.

Hi..I am Nea. I recently turned 26 and since the past year have been going through anxiety which I think was triggered by events in my personal life, a break up etc which left me doubtful of my choices in life. I recently visited a psychologist who was no help really; he just said I have very high expectations from myself. I have spoken to my friends about my anxiety and though I am very thankful to them for being there for me but more often than not I feel I am not really understood. More than half the time I am ashamed of the fact that I have lost my confidence and do not really feel like the same person that I used to be and now it is hampering my life/work. I have also started to feel very old already. Though you may say I am 26 and I know that is not considered old, but I feel I have seen too much already and have no hope for the future. There are times I would be hopeful about life but very soon despondency creeps in and I feel life is purposeless.

I am here because I have a feeling that if I connect with people who go through the same anxiety as I do, I might feel a bit better and less isolated. The thing is that I am unable to understand why all this is happening. I would also like to help others relieve their fears and anxiety. I hope this works.

Hey Nea!

Your whole first paragraph looks like it was copied and pasted, and no that's not a bad thing, it just means that we've seen those exact same words 100's of times before. Yes, it's an anxiety 'clone' disorder. Some people have unique anxieties, certain fears, certain issues in varying degrees, you our new friend, is generalized anxieties caused by life's generalized issues.

It's only just a bump in the road, you recognized it, felt something, now it's time to file it away or forget it..You're at the right place because we're all working to do just that.

Yes, you had the right feeling, same as you.

Welcome!
