what's helped me is not looking at the past like it defines who i am, but is just an influence to where i am today. your not the same person you were. we all change constantly everyday. it's so hard...
this made me smile. what a nice idea. 1) cuddling with a stuff animal my best friend gave me. when i hug it, i think of him and all the good times we've shared and it calms me right down. 2) writing...
i can relate. i understand the panic and being beside yourself when you know it's irrational, but your body can't help it. those past posts gave really good advice. with me, i usually have to try and...
hey sweetie, promised i keep an eye on you/ would check in from time to time. i understand. that's a very powerful song. i've been there too when like everything is falling apart and you can barely...
i really appreciate your change of tone and how you phrased your entry. you used your experience and pain in a positive, constructive way to help/ focus on someone else. i think that's the best piece...

thank you so much. no one i've ever been around has ever understood me or this. they either look at me like i'm a freak or pity me. it's also really hard to get through to some people that they...
i'm so glad. i do understand how you feel about people just trying to give you an easy fix/ telling you to get over it. it is not that easy at all. anxiety is really complicated because it is so...
@JSchecky i can actually really relate to you. i'm a junior in college too, and i too struggle with symptoms of my anxiety getting in the way of my life here. my ptsd actually got so bad i had to...
thanks for responding @stkitt. it was nice to be able to get advice and listen to someone that actually understands. the thing that's strange is that i do love myself, accept myself for who i am and...
