Panicking about help with panicking

So here I am with my anxiety, wanting to talk to a listener. But, because I have anxiety, whenever I try to talk to a listener I panic and close the window. I know that these people are here to help, I know the won't judge me, I know all of these things. Doesn't change the fact that it scares me half to death when they come online and I shake myself to pieces.

Happens to a lot of us.

Maybe have a prepared message to copy and paste ?

That's what I do. The listener will help you continue from there.

HI. Welcome, Brave if you to post so well done. You are not the only one trust me.

Doesn't change the fact that it scares me half to death when they come online and I shake myself to pieces - I hear that and can understand that feeling. It can be scary and it is a big step to take. And when you are feeling anxious it can seem an almost imposiible thing to do.

I am a listener here and if you think it would help you, now that I know whats going on for you, please feel free to message me or reply to this, whatever you think would be the most useful or is most comfortable for you.

Take care
paul
