Hi, my name is Atlantta 29 years old.
I cannot tell you how happy I am that I have stumbled across this site !
I have only just found it, and I have just felt the most amazing over whelming feeling of relief I have ever felt in a long long time !
I suffer from anxiety, and it's only today that I have realised this.
My "irrational thoughts" to me, were just a spout if depression, that I have gone through for a few years. in fact, I should mention that I am in tears right now, with finding out I am not the only one who suffers like this :'). it's probably the first bit of emotion I have showed in 3 weeks, in which my latest "irrational thought" started, which has left me even more happier that I am still capable of emotion ! .. I'm confident you all understand me when I say that. Up untill today, I felt so very alone, scared and afraid to tell anyone how I'm feeling, especially as my worries are so random and irrational, that I worrie I would e deemed "crazy".
My grandma took her own life when my mother was a child and I often wonder what went through her head, and wether she felt as trapped as I do, and wether it was from he same sort of state that I can get myself into. if only the Internet and sites like this was here for her back in the 60's, maybe she would still be here today.
I'll leave my introduction at that for this post :)
the relief of finding this site is so over whelming and I am STILL crying with relief ! ... I had no idea that the sort of anxiety I am obviously suffering from actually has a name ! This is a major step forward for me ! and I realise now that I am nt the only one.... I am confidante I have found light at the end of the tunnel now ! :')
