Anxiety
Hi there. I'm new to all this, so forgive me if I come across a little uncoordinated.
I lost my dad when I was 14 and my mom has been a verbally and emotionally abusive alcoholic my whole life. I got away a few years ago and I thought everything would be better, but I am anxious a lot of the time and I have anxiety attacks brought on by the smallest things and I feel so stupid.

Hello,
First, welcome to the community!
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad and the stuff you had to deal with from your mom. It takes a lot of courage to say that and I am really proud of you.
I understand that you are going through anxiety and panic attacks. Do you have someone you can reach out to for support such as a friend?
There is also a self-help guide for anxiety and panic attacks that I can send you, would you be interested in that?
Thank you!
I would really appreciate the self help guide. And I do have some friends i could reach out to, I'm just not very good at opening up to them

Hi there, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss and your issues with your mother. I'm proud of you for getting away, I understand that must've been so hard to do but you did it and for that, I'm so proud! It's understandable that you would be anxious, given the issues you've had to face. How you're feeling is valid, and just know that it's not stupid at all to have anxiety around this. You're so strong, and you're doing amazing <3
I see another listener has given you anxiety self-help resources, I do hope you can benefit from them!
Remember you're loved!
