Hi Trish, I've found that anxiety can be a very lonely disorder :( A lot of sufferers choose not to focus on it ( hence the chatroom experience ) Also I think it makes us quite unpopular with other sufferers who are trying not to think about it :( Sometimes people don't want to be constantly reminded that they have anxiety, they just want to focus on the positive I'm just starting to learn that! I'm realizing that yes this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me, but that unfortunately I am the only one who can help myself... yes it's very lonely, but I don't see I really have much choice :(

Hi again Trish, I'll tell you how I've learnt to deal with it I focus on something else. I've found going out for a walk really helps Or watching a film that takes my mind away from my anxiety Also just facing it when it's trying to control and confuse me! After all it's happening inside me, not outside, so surely I have to take back control? Easier said than done I know, but I don't see as I have much choice :( x

Hi Trish, one thing to remember is the reason most people are in chat in the first place - because we have problems of our own - at times this can make it hard to try and help someone else with theirs in depth if we arent having a great day.

Also, and this has been discussed in chat often, a lot of the people come in to chat as a social thing because it helps them relieve their anxiety just by having some company and taking their minds off it - anxiety can be a very lonely illness, and just being among people who understand, even if on the face of it the chat topics may seem banal to you, can be a big help in itself.

Hi Trish

Sorry you didn't find the chat room helpfull. Did you try the 'help room' in there at all? 9 times out of ten someone will follow you in and allow you to talk about what's bothering you.

Chat is a very friendly room where many people go on a daily basis.

Have you tried posting Trish? I rarely go into chat but there are many of us around to help if you post and I'm sure you'd get a reply fairly quickly.
