44 year old female from Brisbane suffers health anxiety,  depression, panic attacks. Looking for genuine people to talk too who may suffer same for support etc. I believe that healing can happen the more support you have!

Thankyou for your support. I'm new to this, can anyone actually message or get in contact? Thanks

hi @New23 

That's me.

I have that going on. I can't even get out of bed today. And inspite of my medication I can't stop trembling...

What's happening for you today?

Hi @New23 🙂
Thank you for sharing about what you're going through. A very warm welcome awaits you in these forums.

You are right, healing is definitely possible and the more support we have for ourselves the more the healing!

I know what it feels like to experience anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I have battled with it myself. It is so hard carrying the hard parts of our mental health everyday but it does get better. I am moving through an ongoing and recovery journey with my own mental health.

You will meet many other forum members who can relate with what you are saying and I hope that it serves as a reminder that you are not alone 💗

Sending you someone else's story that they have shared to remind you that you can get through this  💛

Holding space for you 💛

Hi @Kyle1

Hoping the day gets lighter for you, I know that feeling of not getting out of bed. It's something that's been a struggle for me for a long time.

How are you spending your day today? @Kyle1

It sounds like you have some resonating experiences with @New23 🙂

@fluffylight 

I'm spending my day afraid (of what, I don't exactly know).

I've tried to call for help but reaching no one!

And I am trying so hard to get well, but can't... 

[New23]

I'm so sorry to hear! Hugs. I know what that's like. If your comfortable, tell me a bit about yourself x

[New23]

Thankyou so much! I'm hoping in these forums it's allowed to exchange details if comfortable as I'm at a loss where to find/meet like minded people! It's very lonely at times in one's own mind. Sending you hugs as you battle through your journey xx

[New23]

P.s. that was a lovely/inspiring story! Thankyou 🙂

I am your age @New23 

Single parent.

And gosh...there's just so much turbidity and torment from so many areas for me ...

I hardly know where to begin.

I'm from Tasmania
