What is the point of living a life like this?

Hey Alessandra1992

Yes you are right. I understand what you are saying. For me it is about taking on the problem and I am doing so. Today I am going to my first peer support group where I can share my experience with others and hopefully try and get through this rough patch and overcome the anxiety and dperession.

Thanks for your answer.

How did your peer support group go today?

[Alessandra1992]

Hey @Troubled_One, hoping your first group session wasn't too overwhelming..it can be very scary meeting new people...I always remind myself anxiety was something I grew into, and that it was there to teach me something..it has taught me a lot in hindsight..that my inner control freak isn't helpful at times, that my life needed change and it takes time for change 🙂
Wishing you a peaceful evening..

Hey @Baboo and @Alessandra1992

Yes it was very scary meeting new people and overwhelming. I was able to sit through the whole meeting and got my story out to the group. Hoping to make it next week and to continue on with the group.

That's a great act of courage you have made there @Troubled_One and high fives to you for trying something new!
Sounds as though you are keen to go back, which makes me think it was a warm and welcoming group! Stay in touch and please keep us updated as to how next week goes!

That is such good news, well done you - and thanks for sharing. It takes a lot of courage to share in a new group. I hope this works out really well for you - certainly a promising start.

Kind regards,

Hi,

So I did not get notified of this post I think.

I am sporty and like exercise but my left knee has damage to it.

I hope the original poster @Slybaby still has hope in this thread and sorry if you felt ignored in this thread. 🙂
