A safe place for anxiety sufferers to share.

I apologised to him and he said I'm alright. I guess that means it's all good unless he doesn't want to tell me he really is.
He's just holding me to my word that I'm selling the property and looking to move out.

Maybe think of it as releasing your pain, not reliving it?

Good thoughts for your children and, of course, for you.

Thank you it means a lot that all over the world at the same time we are thinking  of others and not so much ourselves. I often think  of all of us who visit here  and it does keep a dark thought  out for  a moment

Living with a chronic illness is the hardest when you want to fly and the illness says no. 
So i want to say if you physically can do it . No matter how small . Do it

Next time you’re anxious to do something, ask yourself, what if this could be good?

Thoughts_Arrive

Yeah, my best friend said it can be a good thing as it motivates us to do something.

^ ^ and thinking my best friend is mad at me.
I feel sick in the stomach.

thinking it. is it factually true?

so what if he is? are you supposed to be miserable in your parents house so he can live in yours? dont you have the right at the chance for peace somewhere else?

if he really truly is a friend shouldnt he care about your wellbeing?

who knows, I'd like to hope not.

what a day of extreme emotions. All the negative emotions and then excitement at hearing my own song for the first time after I received it back from my friend who produced it in his home studio.

Care about the  important  things.  Let go of all the  what ifs and non important trivia.
Life is short.
Keep this in mind.
At anytime it can all be very very different trust me on that

I'm 51. the middle 25 yrs or so spent in a bottle and the end of a crack pipe. THAT was wasted. except I now use it to try and help others.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN HEAD. Go fucking help someone else.

Mickey is right and we‘ve suggested it before, how about you volunteer? Seeing what others go through might help putting things into perspective. You‘ve said you‘re anxious to work in a homeless shelter because you don’t know what to talk about with people. I think you‘d only have to listen but it may not be the best fit for you. How about an animal shelter though or volunteering work related to the bush fires? I’m sure every help is welcome. You have so much time on your hands, use it to do some good for others

Thoughts_Arrive

I agree with you guys. I spend too much time inside my head.

I think  we all do at times and go on to realise its not worth it. But changing  that  is the problem
 It is not easy but you are young and have the  tools

It's like I'm addicted to suffering or something.
