Hi, Southern Californian resident with pretty bad anxiety...hopefully I can get some help from this forum. I hate struggling every day.

Hi Jellybelly123!!

I too suffered from anxiety for many years! What tools are you using currently to help yourself get through the anxiety?

[jellybelly123]

Thank you for replying! I'm mostly trying to cope with my anxiety by myself, through extensive reading and reflection and self-talk-stuff like that. It hasn't cured me, but I have improved some...just not enough to live the life I deserve.

Welcome to this forum, friend. I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle. Please know that you’re not alone and you’ll find a lot of help here. I know it’s not easy to go through anxiety. Have you ever considered talking about this with a therapist/counselor? I just said a prayer for you, and I hope that God will surround you with His comfort and peace. Remember that you deserve to feel better. You can always share your heart out here and you don’t need to carry your burdens alone. Hugs!

Thank you, littlestarsmum...I really needed that right now. I'm going through a very bad and pro-longed anxiety experience right now that has affected my employment. It's a very scary and sad time for me, but your kindness made me feel not so alone and a little bit better-THANK YOU for that.
I have never sought professional help, but after this recent issue, I am now attempting to find a doctor. Thank you, again; and hugs back :)

I agree with you littlestarsmum you're not alone just keep posting and get thing's out in the open rather than hold on and let it take over you good luck here's hopping you find strength to keep going and fight the struggles life presents you
