Anyone go on Facebook here?

You gotta love all these old acquaintances or friends who are dating, getting married, having kids or have three teens already now, making strides at their jobs, and Taking awesome vacations!! And posting this daily ...

And I can't help think to myself, What in the HELL am I doing??? Ohhh I remember. Nothing like that. Thanks anxiety! Thanks PTSD. My post is like what deal I got on an iced coffee. Or sometimes a nature pic😬🪻. True, those are both cool things. Albeit tiny when you look at most of friends' posts😨

Maybe one day I'll kick this anxiety in the freaking Ass and get going on my own wants or dreams!!! Hey it Could happen.

Could happen. How old were u when anxiety kicked in? Do u have a friend who u can talk to about it?

Also things like phone, Internet n forums etc, they were invented with good intentions by the owner / founders. Rest is on our perception how we see these things. If Internet didn't exist it would have been exposure from magazines: succesful people, seeing big mansions.

@Sazzio I was 24 when anxiety all started. And was a vicious cycle. So I've had the debilitating condition for 19 years wow. Unfortunately have lost touch with friends.
Im in therapy which helps a tiny bit but I'm also reading some new books on PTSD.

@Coralmist Ok. I have a friend who's got ongoing mental health problems for 10 years now. Unfortunately am not a Therapist or anything and I don't wanna hear his problems. Am not at work, not at home where problems persist. We r trying to have a nice time and BOOM! This guy comes up with his anxiety.

But glad you're seeing a Therapist i too am in counselling for my past reasons. Not ptsd though fortunately I haven't suffered any traumatic events.
