Hi, I have finally tapped into this forum - been pretty scared about it. However, I am sure I will meet other like minded beings here. My story briefly is: 2 years ago I was terminated from my Management job at an op shop. I had death threats and consequently was terminated on ' stress' leave. I recently relocated back to Melbourne from Brisbane, so, at times feel quite alone and that i am going Nuts.

I have 2 sons who are both married and have there own lives, and live interstate. I am a widow and live alone. I want to work through this anxiety and connect with others for both support and understanding.

hello Pink Elephant, a good name and welcome to the forum.
I'm so sorry that someone made those threats to you, it's not what anyone would expect by working in an op shop, but the world is unknown by what some people will resort to.
Even though you have moved interstate doesn't mean that your anxiety, stress or depression will naturally go away it won't, you can carry this illness where ever you go, so I'm so pleased to have you join us.
Firstly there are an enormous amount of comments which hopefully you can read on this site all about different topics, and secondly you have now being able to connect with us, so we would love to her back from you. Geoff. x

Hello Pink Elephant, I also want to welcome you to the forum. There are many good people here you can connect with who understand about living with anxiety and other mental health issues.

I hope you will feel comfortable in telling us a bit more about yourself. I'm sorry to hear about your experieince at the op shop. Like Geoff said, not at all what one might expect, that must have really shaken you up.

Moving cities is a big thing to deal with! Are you originally from Melbourne? What took you back there?

Hope to talk more with you
