Feeling Alone

[Butterfly-xox]

Hi im Ashley and ive had GAD for a year now, ive had it before one summer a couple years ago but it just dissapeared then came back. I am 17 and i have been trying everything to help (BUT DRUGS) i refuse to take any drugs for this, i have taken anti-depressants before they made me depressed,numb and get sick.. I do not want to cover up anxiety i want to deal with it. Things i have done to get rid of it were i saw a naturalpath, and i am seeing a physciatrist. and they have helped but i still have sickness when i wake up and anxiety about things. I have overcome a lot but i need support and to know im not the only one who has this, obviously im not but no one i know has it and i feel really alone. I have a supportive family and boyfriend they help me through it but i would like to talk to people who know what im going through.
I homeschool now and im really behind in school, itd be nice if i could talk to some people around my age.

hi ashley and welcome well u r definately not alone here as loads on here suffer as u do and u will gain loads of advice and support and make friends too. i have made some lovely ones on here. for 17 u seem very strong and mature and i think u will do just fine. meds do help but not the answer to all probs and i was on them for a while but came off and started exercising which helped alot and i never been on them since. goodluck and keep posting xx

Welcome to the site, you are never alone once you are a member of NMP! We all offer advice and support to all here and its a lovely site. There are also quite a few members here of your age, if you'd like to find them, why not place a message in the GAD section entitled 'calling all under twenties' or something, then you can all support each other, i know sometimes its easier to talk to those who are of a similar age espcially if you are being home schooled (which i know some of them are). But dont rule us thirty somethings out too we have had lots of experience also!!! LOL
Keep posting, you sound a strong person and your decision to try and do this without medication shows this, you will get better!!! Hugs C xxxx
