Hello im lizzie nice to meet you all :)

[xMonkeyx]

well like i said, im lizzie,im 22... ive had anxiety for most of my life. recently iv had a breakdown and feel totally alone and isolated, idont really have friends, just live with my bf and cat! we had a really aggressive home invasion 6 months ago, 2 weeks after we moved in, and ive just found out i am actually suffering from post traumatic stress on top of struggling with my anxiety anyway. i am so happy i stumbled across this site, i do see a psychologist but sometimes its just good to be with people who understand exactly what its like to live this way. Anxiety has ruined my life, its like being imprisoned in my own mind. i want things for myself;a group of friends, a job etc. and its just taken everything from me and now i feel like its destroying my soul a little bit every day. Im looking for support and id love to be there for others too, i do beleive the best therapy is to know your not alone in what your feeling, your never alone.

Hi Lizzie - welcome to the forum Sorry to hear what you have been through. Hope we can all make you feel a little better. You say you have a boyfriend - surely this is a positive thing?

Hi lizzie, we're all glad you decided to join this site, i'm sure there are a lot of people who will support you including myself who like you said know exactly and understand how it feels.

Hey Lizzie. Nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about the break in. I've experienced a violent burglary whilst I was on the premises and, I can tell you, it's something that takes time to get over - but you will. Time heals all things. People, for the most part, are good and kind. Sadly, the negative minority can make such a violent impact, it's easy to forget that. You'll find good people here. People who understand. All is not lost. Take care.

Hello lizzie, welcome to SPW
I can't imagine what it must be like to have PTSD on top of anxiety!::
I hope you find the support you are seeking here.
