Not done with anxiety im a failure.

When you want support through something scary or rough, and help pulling yourself together and getting through, this is the place.
Forum rules
We ask that users looking for general, ongoing emotional support post in this area of the boards, and that you use this space to both ask for, give and receive that support primarily from each other, rather than from our staff and volunteers. As a staff, we simply are often too overextended with all we need to do in running the organization and its services to do that for extended periods of time, and one of our main aims of our community at the boards has always been to facilitate peers to better be there for each other.

Users often report that they have no in-person peers they can talk to or seek support from: we want this to be a space for online peer support and somewhere everyone can get some practice asking for, getting and giving support so that doing it with people in your lives feels more doable.

Please remember that neither staff, volunteers nor your fellow users can provide or replace mental healthcare when that is something you need. Users struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse or physical health issues are strongly encouraged to seek out qualified, in-person help with those issues in addition to peer or staff support.

Lola,

You're not disappointing anyone. Managing anxiety is challenging, especially without some kind of qualified help, even if that help is just a self-help book written by someone who is an expert about anxiety.

As you know, we will NOT engage with pregnancy scares here, though, so I need to be clear and ask you to please stop trying to get us to do that, directly or indirectly.

However, if you would like some resources or direction when it comes to getting help learning to manage your anxiety, we can do that. Additionally, if you want help about how to talk to a partner about something like your anxiety, we can help you out with that as well.

I ended my period three days ago. Just now I saw a small pinkish sticky discharge.. should I worry about something or is it something normal that sometimes that happens? Thanks :)
