Hey BF! I know we haven't officially ''met'' online, but I have followed some of your posts and I too, can understand why people DO like you. I have several dx's that I deal w/daily and once in a while, anxiety creeps up on me too.

It's just who I am. Some call it Type A personality; I call it stress and anxiety. *oh and a little OCD in the mix doesn't help me either* It's hard to ride it out when those anxious feelings take over and I'm glad you opened up here. Do I have an instant solution for you? No, but I wish I did. *cause then I'd feel better about myself too*

But, I do know that you are kind and helpful to other's here at NT and I just know that there is more you have to offer to real life acquaintances. I hope you can get around people more and show them just how great you really are. I am sorry about your family; it is their loss to isolate you from them.


Hang in there BF. I know I'm not much help, but just wanted you to know that I care.

dearest BF,
the whole time i've been on the forum you have been an outstrached hand and a helpful friend, i just want to let you know I appreciate everything you've done for me so far.

I hope everything for you does soon turn around. I agree with Alffe about finding a group. My friend Lizzy's mom has MS and is like the community 'mom' she has 10-20 kids that regularly visit her house througout the day/week and we all share with ehr our problems and things and she does the same and it's a 'safe' place for me at least. I feel like my anxiety gets stopped at the door and isn't allowed in when I'm there (most of the time)

I hope that while you are in search of a place in your real life where you can be comfortable and happy, that you feel all of us here at NT holding you up and giving you the strength to carry on.

:hugs:

Thank you Megveg Those support groups are priceless. I've been to many of them,and prayer groups also. They are so comforting,and you feel welcome,and cared about. BF

Hi BF! I concur that you are very helpful to many of us here and always have a kind word to say or gentle wise advice to give.

I am also pretty sure if you call a church or two they would be willing to get a ride for you to attend. I haven't ever attended a church that didn't provide rides to those in need.

No matter what you decide, we are here for you as you are here for us.

(((BF))) You're such a wonderful support for everyone here, you deserve only the best.

B.F. I am glad you are sharing your thoughts and yourself. I know first hand that you are a very compassionate caring smart guy. I also know I do NOT want you to end your life. You have much to offer ! You lend support and info to many others here at N.T. that gives hope and light to those in the dark...that is pricless YOU ARE PRICELESS!!!!. I have you in my prayers May God lead you out of the darkness and comfort you . Stay strong and remember all of us are here for you
PEACE
BMW

(((BF)))...I understand some of where you are coming from. I spent some years isolated wayyyy out on a ranch. Nothing around for miles, not even neighbors. I loved being out in nature. I get along better with nature than I do with people. But being isolated was not good for me at all. Not on a full time basis. I had to break free and head for the city. Scared the heck outta me. But I had to do it to survive. I think Sandy had a really good idea. I got involved in a Church, and volunteer work. It helped me tremendously. Recently, I made a really big move out of state. It was very hard to do. Also very scary, but necessary for my survival. Now I have to start all over again finding a Church, and making new friends. My daughter is trying to talk me into voluntering at the Hospice where she, my sister, and my mother work. What do you say....maybe we should set some goals, and support each other with putting some plans into action???? Oh, and I have anxiety too. Another thing I hate having to admit. But mine is atypical, according to my psyche doc it causes depression??????? I know, I've never heard of that either. But I am going to deal with it, heck, I am dealing with it. And so can you....so...what do you say....shall we get started?

Thank you BMW. I treasure your friendship. You are so kind. I hope that things are going well for your family. BF

Thank you Doody. You too. You are a very kind person. BF

Thank you SandyC. You to are a very kind person,and I value what you say. Thank you. I'm sending ((Hugs)) your way. BF
