I have been reading. You say there's help for me. What help? If this is not the right place... tell me. I am sorry for butting in.


Here is what happened. Did you read about the brush fires? Some are near me. Not close in the city. In the country. Today the old wood steps beside my house caught fire.

What you experienced is bound to cause anxiety in anyone.

Hello! I am sending big hugs your way. You certainly deserve them. Many in our community can relate to the racing thoughts that won't go away. ITA with Sheri Ann that fire is real & it is frightening. You did get the fire out, I hope? If it was caused by smoking, I hope your neighbors are more careful. I am wondering if you work nights & have children, if you aren't getting enough sleep? That is very important to have regular hours & enough rest to keep the anxious thoughts away.


Are you taking any other meds? Have you seen a therapist? Besides some of the ways to cope in our folder below, a therapist may be able to teach you ways to relax. Also, we have chats on Tues. & Thurs. evenings. Watch for the post tomorrow. Maybe you could drop in before your work & listen to what other members have to say. We all hope you become more comfortable posting here. Noone bites that I know of:) Everyone
