[:P] Hi everyone, I'm Kelly and I'll be 20 on the 12th. I live in Niagara Falls (USA) and I've had anxiety since I was about 11. It's been a long road and I know what you are all going through and I hope that we can find the strength (or method) to take our lives back from this.

Joined another anxiety forum a few months back and there was so much negativity that I had to find a more positive one. This one is helpful! I went through about 2 months of heightened anxiety/depression at the end of 2004 after I quit my job and now looking back on it from a clearer state of mind, it was awful. The worst I've been through but after the new year I made a few resolutions to be as strong/hopeful as possible. So far, it seems to be working! [^] Keeping your head up and having faith is a HUGE help! Don't get down on yourself and don't be afraid to start over. As hard as it might be. I'm trying my best, too. Hope the new year is going as good as possible for everyone.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Did the anxiety cause you to leave your job or did that come afterwards ?
What are you doing with yourself now to keep occupied ?

Your resolutions are good ones - how is it going so far ?

Hi Kelly,
You have the right attitude to your anxiety, being positive you should be really proud of yourself. I hope you continue to be positive and to feel better you are doing well.
Take care

Hi Kelly

Welcome to the forum! Like the others have been saying you have a great positive outlook and attitude and that will help you in a big way dealing with this condition. This forum is also a wonderful place for both information, understanding and support. It's a big help to me and many other people too.

Keep on fighting and don't give up and I'm sure 2005 and every other year will work-out just fine for you!

Good luck and good health

Hi Kelly

Happy Birthday for this week - I have added your birthday to my list so watch out for a card.

Just wanted to welcome you aboard the site and forum and hope we can be of some help to you.

I have to admit that I haven't looked at many other forums (don't get time) so I hope that ours is doing a better job than the one that you visited that was a bit negative.

We will help you all we can.
