Newbie here but long time anxiety sufferer

[TheRealTopsy]

Hello Everyone!

Probably should be doing distracting things outside to avoid Anxiety sitting on my shoulder, breathing down my neck and whispering insecurities in my ear BUT..... this forum is super helpful even on Day 1 for me! I like the 'fun/games' forum for a quick switch off. Nice one.

I hope as I tip toe through this mental maze I'll get some ideas and reassurance from this group and feel I'm amongst people that 'know'. No one to tell me I'm crazy and snap out of it - which just heightens panic.

Wish anyone reading this well. Right, intro done, 10 minutes of gardening now and see if I can lose the 'black dog' outside amongst the weeds
