Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

As for the anxiety, I got Claire Weekes' audiobook from the library based on her book, "Hope and Help for Your Nerves". It is so good. There are also Youtube videos for her approach, as well. I wish I had come across her work years ago.

I think what SpaghettiLegs said is very encouraging: the situation in actuality was handled better than thought. Also EFT tapping is a therapy that would be worth looking into. I don't know whether you have Netflix, but there is a doc called "Heal" on there and it shows someone receiving tapping therapy to work through trauma.

I wish you well.. I know how awful anxiety can be. Let us know how you are doing...
