Hi CrewCut. Welcome to Psych Central (PC). I am so sorry you are suffering from anxiety. PC has helped me find other people that can empathize with me and help provide insights and info. After you have 5 posts or replies to others posts the Anxiety Chat happens on Wednesday at 8PM-9PM EST

Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems though still there are more manageable.

Glad you are joining us here. There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. Feel free to participate actively at Psych Central.

Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
