Hello,

[Rider3]

Hello, I haven't done this in years. I am in counseling, but I believe that group therapy brings the most positive result. I cannot find a group nearby my home, so I hope I can find some support here. I am dealing with severe anxiety and depression, and it is ruing my life, my marriage. Me. Thanksgiving was yesterday, and I found it very hard to get through what is supposed to be a fun, family holiday. I'm hoping to learn something from people's stories and maybe learn something about myself. Thank you for reading.

I know what you mean ... I feel like I'm coming out of a defensive shell ... feeling normal. The positive is that I've been in control, if not relaxed, inside this shell for a week. Think about your shell ... where is it rubbing you?
