This for sure tops one of the worst weeks i've had in a long time. I am a 30 year old female with no children. My anxiety has been triggered for the 3rd time.. (I have had other anxieties, like attacks and such here and there over this 8 year term in between)  I have never turned to prescription drugs (I have been lucky in the past that over a period of time the anxiety would go away and not return for years) So, this brings me here.. (I love that there is a support site like this)  It helps ALOT!

I have several friends and family that have suffered from anxiety, and I am kind of looking for an outside source for someone to talk to and in return we could become "anxiety pen pals," I know this is kind of silly, but maybe it could help both of us... 

I have just about had it this week, it has been a challenge just to get into the shower and to let the dog out.. I am normally the most outgoing bubbly person that you would know.. I love to joke and laugh and make people laugh, I miss the old me :-(

Hi S&R, I am sorry that you are having such a rough time right now. Remember though, that if you have had periods of remission before, the time will come when things are better again! As you progress in your recovery, you will probably find that while setbacks happen, you will have longer periods of feeling well in between them.

My e-mail is in my profile, and I like to correspond, so feel free to write to me anytime! I also like to talk with those who have similar struggles. My friends and family are great, but it is awesome to talk to people who truly understand:)

Hope to hear from you soon,
Scaredy Cat

Hi Sunshine,

I also want to offer any online communication to mutually.
help us. I have GAD and have become socially disconnected
so I find this forum helps me. Knowing other people can relate
to you and offer incite is invaluable.

I'm feeling like the old one in the crowd (42 Female). I too suffer from anxiety and panic. I thought I was doing great and then BAM anxiety struck again! I have felt like poo since last Tuesday! The aches and pains and then the mind goes on and on. I have to goggle every symptom there is. That is not a good thing.

Wow!! Thanks everyone for all the replies!! I am actually doing much better now, however I would love to help anyone I can. I know how desperate the feeling is to need someone who understands what your going through....I know that eventually I will get the anxiety back, its just a matter of time but I hope we can all conquer anxiety together permanently.

I feel ya girl lol talking to other people who "get it" is a breath of fresh air when you mostly deal with people who have no idea :) also feels good to be able to air everything out and have people understand instead of meet you with blank stares! is my email if you (or anybody else) wants to talk :)

wow lucky you! I'm real jealous of you lol they came to houston (where I live) a few weeks ago but I had to travel when they came haha I was pretty bummed, and yea they are an amazing band I'm pretty obssessed. I think it's the guitarist fault (mark tremonti) because I was the biggest creed fan back in the day as well

Going through a rough patch of anxiety and panic attacks. I have a chronic illness that keeps putting me in the hospital. After being a stay-at-home for four boys for 28 years, I have a job that has occasionally put me in magazines, newspapers and tv. I seem to have delayed panic attacks after public interviews or filming. I struggle with social phobia. I have had a/p and social phobia for about 7 years. I have never talked about this with any friend or anyone in my family. My husband has been unemployed for 8 months. For the first time in my life I am supporting our family. I would love my job if it was a hobby but constantly challenging my social phobia is really hard. I miss my children and my friends a lot. I am the oldest person here apparently, I am 50.

Hello! I joined this website specifically for this thread. I'd love to have a pen pal for when things get rough. Currently I feel like I'm under a growing mound of poop!

Anyone interested, my email is (in my profied). All I ask is that you tell me you are from this site in the subject line so I don't accidentally delete it!
