Hi, I'm Adrian a Listener here & I'm about to get diagnosed with generalized anxiety order. I really want to better myself for the women I love.
Hi I am new here. Just want you to know that uhm in my living no one really notice my anxiety. They misunderstood it as . just being dramatic or seeking attention so i never told anyone. I never show any signs. I rarely open about it but i always listen and try to be better.
@Henajram595220б it'll get better, I promise.
Hi! I'm Laura. Not sure how to introduce myself here. I've been struggling with anxiety for the last month and it's been pretty bad again. It was already that bad years ago, but I thought I was over it.. I hope i can make some friends maybe!
Hello! I'm Sam and I have struggled with anxiety most of my life, as well as being bipolar. My family doesn't have enough money to pay for counseling or anything and I don't want to burden my friends. I hope I can find someone to talk to about my issues and life :)
Hello Everyone,
Just a brief introduction to my anxiety levels. Certain habits begin to surface when I feel anxious. Whether it be consciously or subconsciously. If I had grown out my hair, I'd literally pull my hair out. And then the OCD part of me kicks in afterwards. As I usually pull it while in bed. I would start counting how many strands I've pulled out.
Right now, I think I'm subconsciously anxious. As I'm peeling the skin from my fingers, sometimes to the point where it bleeds. Then, I would purposely try to squeeze out as much blood as possible. I'm in the first week of a transition of a new job. Same company, bit different hours and different job. I like it so far, I think. Time goes by quicker and I feel much more accomplished.
There's more to my anxiety. But I'm writing this before I need to leave for work. So, can't say much more, as I need to quickly eat my breakfast in 10 minutes.
Thank you for taking your time to read this!
Cheers~

i totally get you when my anxiety gets bad i hair pull my eyebrows and lashes. i obligate myself to have a manicure to avoid skin pulling but if i do i dont draw blood, it would make me faint b/c im afraid of blood. my ocd kicks in when i feel uncomfortable with certain situations or with certain clothes i wear because i had self-acceptance issues for a long time.
Hi! I'm Gonzo. This is my first time in the Anxiety Community so just saying hi.
Hello everyone. My name is Jo and I have anxiety sometimes. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this thread. Joining this group really motivates me to take initiative of my anxiety, and work towards change.
hi im new here
i've been diagnosed with generalized and social anxiety since last year. well i really had it since forever i just decided to recognize it and to do something about it since last year. my anciety mainly comes from my lack of trust in people and introversion. im trying to get myself out of comfort zones to be more social with larger groups of people. ive managed being myself with a small group of people.
@pitirre I have anxiety and depression and I isolate myself alot too, but I'm not really sure why. Being comfortable in a small group is a great start!! Maybe you don't need to put yourself in situations where there are large groups of people very often.
@SpiritBear123
true that might be an option because medium size group dont cause me that much anxiety.
also, strangely enough, my anxiety is over large groups that i dont know anyone or those i dont have any control over. if at least i know someone in the large group it eases my anxiety. also i give alot of conferences to large groups but like i said it is a large group i have control over so it doesn't give me anxiety
I'm new here. I suffer from depression and anxiety. My marriage feels like it's falling apart. I just had a heart attack six weeks ago. My husband seems more mean now then before the attack. He pays more attention to his bird. Crazy right. I'm so alone
Hello! My anxiety is really bad when I wake up in the mornings and causes me alot of physical distress. I hope this isn't too much info but i wake up and have diarrhea and start gagging like I'm about to throw up (sometimes I throw up, sometimes it's just gagging). I feel so so nauseous, and it makes me not want to eat anything. When I don't eat, I get dizzy which makes me more anxious. Does anyone else have physical anxiety symptoms? Or ideas for how to make this better? (I'm already on an anti-anxiety med). Thank you in advance for any support or advice!
