Today, I finally accepted I need help with my anxiety issues. I started small and I joined a support forum and wrote a post. I was quickly called a troll by multiple users, accused of faking it, and told to "fuck off back to Tumblr" because they wouldn't believe my anxiety is really so serious. FML

I have also been diagnosed with anxiety. I found it helpful to talk to a counsellor, maybe you would too.

I've been there before. Not the forum, but the anxiety.

The internet is not a good place to go for help. See a professional

Unfortunately a lot of self help forums seem to be run by people with serious psychological issues themselves. Keep talking about it, OP, you will find the right people to help you.

Screw them op. They don't understand the true struggle of having anxiety, and are just arrogant. Any of us are here to help if you ever need someone to talk to (:

I went to therapy and counseling and nothing helped until I was finally put on medicine. I was on it for about 2 years and now I'm off of it and happier than ever. Sometimes it's a chemical imbalance in the brain that needs to be treated with medicine to be corrected, like mine. I took Paxil, and I definitely recommend it if you can't find any other form of relief.

That's horrible. A really good place to talk about it is Healthful chat. It's a chat room for people with all kinds of health problems, and has channels for each one you can go to and places you can just chill. The people are really nice and supportive.
