I agree....short "piosts" often mean a long story. ;0)
Sorry...I'm razzing you so early...but it's so much fun! LOL!
Welcome aboard! You will like it here! We all like to help each other! Hope to see some posts!
JSGeare- Learn how to spell, will ya'? ;-)
I'm glad you are gere, my friend, and let me tell you something. A very SHORT piost often means a very LONG story. So -what's yours?
Just want to echo Nursegirl and MrGreen's welcome! You will get alot of insight on this forum. So many of us have suffered with anxiety and panic for a long time. Many of us have also learned to THRIVE with this; believe it or not, this does get much better. I commend you for taking the first step on the road to dealing with this! Do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you like! I look foward to hearing from you!
Welcome to the forum! Taking that first step is always hard. We are all pretty much in the same boat around here, in one form or another.
When you feel comfortable, maybe you could start by sharing some of you with us? Whatever you are comfortable with of course.
I hope we are able to support you and make you realize that there is a LOT of hope out there. I've been down and out a few times in my life...and honestly thought I would never recover. But I did...and more than once. It's not always easy...and it takes some time. After all...we didn't become who we are overnight.
It's important to remember that WHO we are are anxious NORMAL people. While anxiety certainly affects our lives drastically...we're still the same people. Sometimes it just requires a little bit of digging and coping to bring that person out again.
Looking forward to seeing more of your posts...if you get a chance...I wrote a journal about panic attacks....that has always been my biggest anxiety issue. It may not apply to you....but it's a decent read anyways.
Take care, and again, welcome.
