Bio
29 North African living in Germany. Struggling with Anxiety and Depression. Anxiety more. I am introverted. I enjoy my solitude but beside my husband (he is like me) no one understands why I need my solitude. I love art of all sorts. I paint. I am also struggling to get used to the new life in Germany. It is very difficult but I am doing my best. My goal is to beat anxiety and overcome the overthinking.

...See more Hello so my husband is always playing video games with his friends online. When I say always I mean always. As soon as he gets home from work he sits on the desk. He takes a break for dinner and goes back to his desk. His desk is in the living room which is the bedroom as well. He sometimes turns to say "I love you baby" and goes back to playing until bed time. he prefers to stay home and plays then going anywhere. Lately he even gave up going to do groceries with me which is the only thing we actually do outside. I sometimes say it must be stressful at work he needs it. but I have no one here to talk to or to interact with. No friends no family no work nothing at all. even when I ask him to watch a movie together or anything he switches to playing on his phone. When we make plans to go to a lake or to a park he says ok sure tomorrow or this weekend and he never goes through it. I am so sick of this and I don't know what to do

...See more Hi there. My name is Belle. I have been struggling with depression for years. And this period it got way worse. I can't sleep, eat, or enjoy the little things. I am always on edge and crying without control. I don't know what to do. I want to seek professional help but I live in another country and I can barely speak the language. I really don't know how to stop it. I am exhausted and I don't have energy to fight anymore.
Anxiety Attack or just a breakdown

...See more Or maybe just a breakdown. I cant make the difference anymore. I did a guided meditation before leaving bed. I took my dog out for a walk and during the walk I just started breathing heavy and overthinking about things happened during Christmas. As I was riding the elevator up to my place and I was alone I had a full breakdown crying and couldnt breathe. I immediately put a guided meditation to relieve the attack. After few deep breaths I calmed down and stopped crying but I cant stop shaking and I dont know how to deal with this. It happened 3 times in January. I am so desperate and I feel so helpless.

...See more I read a lot about art therapy so I started painting few years ago. I paint landscape and nature and lately I started painting flowers. I love getting lost in paint and colors. It calms me down. Specially when I paint seascape, the blue colored sky and the blue colored sea do wonders to my state of mind.
Anxiety and feeling ashamed

...See more Hello. I have suffered from anxiety for years now. I tried to tell to my family about it but all I got was it is in your mind, just dont think about it I am sure everyone had that at some point. well, I got married last year to an amazing man. He is understanding and I told him about my anxiety and he tries his best to make me feel better which made me feel ashamed and guilty. I stopped talking about anxiety and I am trying to deal with it alone specially that I moved to another country away from anyone I know. I do feel so lonely and I dont want to burden my husband with my anxiety. Even the tiniest comment can throw me into days of self criticism and feeling of guilt. I wish I can get rid of these feelings before it ruins my relationships.
