Anxiety Buddy System!

fuzzyLemon August 11th, 2022

Hi All!

This is a thread to find a buddy as we navigate anxiety! You will set goals (little ones) with each other and check in as often as you like! Offering support to each other, encouraging and motivating each other and celebrating too!

Please post what you're looking for in a buddy or reply to someone else's post 🥰 After that you could make your own thread e.g. Fox and Bob's Buddy Thread where you can post to each other!

I hope that all makes sense and you're excited to find a buddy, I know I am!

Hello, I have social anxiety/some general anxiety. Would like a buddy to chat with about social anxiety, feeling lonely, and chosen family/building new connections. Looking mostly to listen/validate each others' feelings supportively and encourage each other to take baby steps. :)

Struggling to manage the anxiety from a relationship betrayal. Love someone who would be able to allow me to vent, and support me (in times of sadness or decision making), and of course, would love to be able to work out some goals tgt to help make the relationship better.

I would love for it to be two ways too! If you require any support system!

Over 18 please!

@fuzzyLemon I think this is a great idea! I'm interested in finding a buddy. I struggle with anxiety and depression that escalated in 2019, when my sister died, and I am still grieving her. I am on regular meds for depression and occasionally for anxiety (when I can't control it anymore).

I'd love to have a buddy who I can vent with and who trusts me to vent as well, someone to share our struggles and triggers but also small and big victories. We can cheer each other up to reach our personal goals and be sad together if that's what we need.

Hi fuzzyLemon,

It's great to see that you're taking the initiative to create a buddy system for people struggling with anxiety. It's always helpful to have someone who can offer support and encouragement during challenging times. I'm glad to see that others in the forum are interested in finding buddies to navigate their own struggles with anxiety.

It's important to remember that recovery is a journey, not a race. It's okay to take baby steps and work towards small goals. It's also important to celebrate those achievements along the way.

I hope that everyone in the forum is able to find the buddy they're looking for, and that they can support each other in achieving their personal goals. Remember to be kind and patient with yourselves, and to celebrate the little victories along the way.

Best of luck to you all!

Hello, apparently we can only match with other members, so I am still looking for a member buddy to chat about social anxiety, anxiety, and loneliness. Preferably low commitment as I am in school. Looking for emotional support but also keeping things positive/working towards taking steps so things aren't too heavy or graphic. Thanks

the only time I will need a buddy is for the next time my parent(s) are out or Dad is being a rude *** person

Hi I would love to have a buddy! I'm starting small by waking up early and drinking a cup of water after waking up :)

@fuzzyLemon hi I am new to this site. I am 19 yo male looking for a buddy who also experiences social anxiety with peer to peer relationships . I have a job and don’t feel anxiety in that format, it’s the one on one or peer group activities that I have panic attacks and anxiety. I know it’s stems from low confidence but not sure how to build my confidence to overcome anxiety attacks . Tried meds and counseling with no success ..

Hello, I will like to participate. Sometimes my anxiety gets the better of me and I am working on better management of it. Having someone who will help keep it in check and someone I can help at the same time would be great. I feel will also help build confidence and self esteem creating a better more positive mind space and healthy attitude to move forward.
