though i would never wish this on anyone, i have to say how grateful i am for all of your kindness. just knowing that i am not alone gives me hope that i will get better someday. being able to come here and tell someone how i am feeling and not being judged or told that i just need to calm down helps more then i can say. this forum is my saving grace, though i have only been hre for a short time i can honestly say that i finally have hope and for the first time in over 25 years i don't feel like i am crazy or a freak of nature. when i first came here i was about to give up. you have given me the courage to keep trying. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!! you have truly changed my life, i am still freaking out but i feel that i can finally tell someone how i really feel and not be judged smilewinkgrin

That is the best thing I have heard (read) all day!!!! I am so glad that you are feeling better, and that we could be a part of that.:)

It is really healing to have others understand how you feel, and to support you. I still read and discover things every day here, that are helping me with my struggles.

I know that I can depend on you all to be there for me...and I am blessed to be able to do the same. You are right in that there is something very healing about that kind of group support!

Thank you for the positive post, and letting us know that you are feeling a bit better now. This is what it is all about here, and you do add to the strength and effectiveness of the A/P room!

Talk to you soon,
S.C.

Starligt, there's absolutely no judging here! We are all pretty much in the same boat, and it DOES feel really good to be able to talk to people that know exactly what you are talking about.

I always hated when people would say to me.... "oh just calm down" or "it's all in your head". It's so very aggrevating to not have people understand that what you are feeling is very real!

I'm glad that we have given you hope, and NO, you are NOT crazy OR a freak of nature!

Please keep posting with us here. You would not believe how relieved you feel just talking to people that know what you are dealing with, and how much more you start to understand about the whole anxiety and panic spectrum.

There are alot of people here that give awesome advice, and different coping strategies, to help you help yourself.

Take care, and I hope to keep hearing from you!

Starligt,

We know exactly what your going through so we understand your feelings. Nobody would ever ask to be anxious and have to deal with the problems it presents but here we are just good people who have to face high anxiety more then others.

We don't judge or criticize,  we don't belittle  anyone as we know that each person will move through anxiety in their own way and if we can help one another the world will be a better place for each of us.

I am so glad you found us and my hope is that we will be able to continue to support you and that you will learn how to deal with the tough anxiety.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

What a nice post. I agree--without these wonderful people, especially these last few days, I'd probably be in a much worse state. It feels good to talk these things out and get some feedback, either in empathy, reason, validation, or simply saying, "Hey, no matter what happens... you're gonna be okay." These words have gotten me through more rough times in my life than I can count. :]
