in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, it's good to be here! I'm Sabby and I'm 22. I'm here cos I have awful generalised anxiety disorder and it's just getting out of hand these days. I have such negative "what if?" thoughts about things that are most likely gonna be okay, and my brain forces me to assume the worst and I can't stop on that train of thought once I start spiralling. Anyone else get feelings like this? I'm here for you if so, please feel free to vent in the comments, I love to listen (I'm such an introvert)!! And if you have any tricks to try and help with spiralling thoughts or anxiety attacks, I'd love to hear <3

    Heeyyy @flourishing_cat it’s lovely to meet you and glad you’ve found us here!! I struggle with anxiety too, although I’m mostly social anxiety. I get that about the thoughts going crazy and sometimes it’s hard to stop them. 

    I’ve found great support here and I hope you do too!! Always feel free to start more threads if you’re ever looking for advice or just a rant or anything <3

    Hey Sabby, welcome x
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Welcome sabby. I’m also 22. Hope we can support you
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
