Desperation and loneliness

Hi @Ayesha it looks like you are getting some really great support on the forum from @Former-Member@NikNik@Former-Member@utopia. Well done on accessing support for yourself. It sounds like such a significant step you made. How challenging it is to stretch out of our comfort zone like that to enable change to happen. When the anxiety settles I hope you get to soak up the pride of meeting that challenge. Is the anxiety also about not having anyone to talk to and the feeling of isolation whilst trying to manage it? Hopefully by building your support networks your body will begin to rely on these outlets and reduce the severity of the anxiety. I also wonder if you know how to put the brakes on if you feel you have stretched yourself a little too far. Perhaps a good place to start with your psychiatrist at the next visit to help feel more in control. I know about that agony you are in and know how comforting it can be just to have someone sit with you strong and steady. Perhaps the forum is that strong and steady support. Take good care
