welcome, hazeleyes. you've come to a very good place for support. there are tons of good people here who will listen and talk to you.

i'm sorry that you've had the anxious feelings that you've dealt with, but it sounds like you've recognized what you need to do to help yourself. do you see a therapist? or keep a journal?

do you see a psychiatrist for any meds? that has helped me tremendously. xoxoxo pat
