    Do you experience anxiety? 57

    1. Yes (44) 77%
    2. No (7) 12%
    3. Rarely (6) 11%

    [justify][fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 420px; color: darkgrey;][sub]I'm just curious. And also trying to think of a way to help, because I know how anxiety can ruin your entire day or even week... And in extreme cases, months and years. I'm thinking of making a support group thread, because maybe that would help those who want to reach out for help. What helps me when I'm having anxiety is having people there to support me.


    When I say anxiety, I mean the kind that usually bothers you about a sensitive topic, or something that you care about. Not the anxiety you might get, say, before you're about to step on stage, or about to take a test (I think these kinds are mixed up with just being nervous)


    So yep. Share your experiences with anxiety and vote on the poll :0

    [fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:400px;font-family:arial;text-align:justify;line-height:13px;]I experience very serious anxiety about some sensitive things, unfortunately.

    :') *raises hand* i get really bad anxiety (like, sometimes i black out bad) when it comes to trans and bi issues (mostly when people tell me im not one of those things), socializing, and just generally being around people. and sleeping. also that.
    ...
    thanks obama

    Yeah, I have really bad anxiety. After some pretty tuff times, I have been an edge and have many panic attacks. For everyone else who had anxiety, I have found that this acronym for FEAR has helped me through some of my panic attacks. False. Evidence. Appearing. Real. Also, I come to find that my family puts me in very bad situations that I cannot get out of. Very terrifying. Anyone else relate? I think a support thread would be lovely for those who have these problems.

    I have anxiety and it irks me because everyone around me thinks it's a disability like Down's Syndrome when it's really just a feeling, IMO. Mainly when going to the doctor's office or when I'm about to get hurt physically in some way.

    [justify][size=10][font=georgia]I get anxiety with people being upset with me, when combined with paranoia that everyone hates me it's not a fun time, & I also get random bursts of anxiety with no clear factor?? wyd brain


    a support group would be p cool though! I know that a lot of people have anxiety

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 350px; text-align: justify;]I get really bad anxiety as well, mainly social anxiety. I also have a lot of phobias, which can get extremely terrifying, since I have to face those fears almost every day. Sometimes it gets really bad to the point where I can't sleep at night. A support group thread would be great, and I'd love to help out if possible! <33

    [align=center][font=georgia]I have social anxiety and stage fright (which sucks because I want to be a professional musician but at this point it's impossible to play when I'm shaking so bad I can't breathe right.) I think the main problem is that I can't control it or figure out how to calm myself down- it's like rational thought kind of flies out the window and even though I know there's no real threat I still lock up and I get really frustrated with it.

    [justify][fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 420px; color: darkgrey;][sub]Wow, 24, that's shocking...


    I might make the chat/support thread later (unless else someone wants to do it instead)

    [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 300px; border: 1px; border color: transparent]
    [justify][sub]i have anxiety and paranoia - the anxiety is general and tends to relate to my ocd but the paranoia is usually about being watched, being hated or people wanting me gone, authority surveillance, etc.
    i think i'd really like the support chat, it might help me feel a little better about these things but even more so i think myself and a lot of others would like being around similar people just for the sake of not feeling like we're on our own.

    I experience anxiety quite a lot actually. I can hardly ever order my own food when going out to eat, or pay for something at the store, and especially asking for help at the store when I can't find something. Lots of other things too that I'm too lazy to list. Basically everything I do is affected by my anxiety.
