My anxiety...

[tttaylorrr]

it's so nice to see you back on the forum, chris!!! i wish it was on better terms, tho!

i've been very open here about my struggles with anxiety and how i cope, and a lot of people came out in support on the few threads i've mentioned it. this is a very welcoming place and i think a part of you knew people would empathize and offer kind words; we are a community here.

if you want to change something, you have to do something differently. every day; no matter how small. but the change has to start with you.

you can't control the universe, no matter how hard you try, but you can control how you react to it.

as for professional help: local colleges and universities usually offer free services even to the community, or your local church or religious center might have support groups even if you aren't exactly religious.

i'm glad you're back! we're rooting for you.
