Hi hyacinth1,

Wellcome to our forums.

Im sorry you are feeling this way I understand that anxiety is hard to deal with and yes it can feel like a struggle.

But do you know what while you are in the hard parts of your journey these are the parts that will grow you the most and eventually transform you.

Please have faith and trust the journey, I believe that sometimes we are given these struggles in life so that they can teach us things they are not always here to hurt us.

I have a lived experience of severe anxiety OCD and this condition was an absolute marathon to get through but eventually I got through it and I gained so much from going through this condition. 

This condition transformed me into the person I am today and without It I would have never been able to grow into who I am now.

I received alot of professional help while I was enduring this condition I don’t know where I would be today without this help.

Are you currently receiving professional help?

Im sorry you are feeling lonely I understand that this is hard to feel.

Please come back to us when you can.
