Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this site. This site was recommended by a current member who was chatting on another support site I use. I'm looking forward to chatting with like-minded people. I have anxiety, depression and ADD. I don't have general or social anxiety, but I have what I call "situational" anxiety. It is mostly due to work or lack of work. I've had anxiety for about 10 years. I'm learning to accept that I have a disease and that it takes daily maintenance. Some days are harder than others, but I get through each day. I have a terrific support system, although I try not to rely on them all of the time; I want to be able to stand on my own two feet. I know they will be there when I need them. I'm realizing that my anxiety stems from not being truthful with myself in the choices I've made. I've been living a life to get approval, acceptance and recognition from family, friends and society. In this next chapter of my life, I am trying to make choices for me. It is tough, but I keep going forward. That is it for now. Peace!
