New to this

Hi everyone. I'm Meg and I'm completely new to reaching out about my anxiety. I just finally realized how negatively my anxiety affects my life. It has caused me to miss out on so many memories that I could be making. I am convinced that the worst possible outcome of any situation is going to be my outcome. I feel like I'm drowning and I'm not sure what to do to get my head above the water.

Welcome to the forum. Kind of new too, in an old way. Looking back over old posts, I don't think I have posted on this forum since 2013. Case of settling in. Everybody is suffering from something or other. You are never alone.

Hi Meg and welcome :) Anxiety thrives on isolation and reaching out about it is a big, positive step.

Welcome back Cuchculan.. You joined the same time as me (and Ponder)!
