Hi, all . . . a lot of you know me from these Anxiety boarRAB. I was gone for a while because of anxiety. I had given some advice elsewhere (not this board) that I meant to be helpful but someone after me said that what I suggested was not good and I felt so bad that I may have given wrong advice (though it was based on something I had done for myself and it had worked), that I could not bear to post any more for a while.

It is amazing how anxiety and worry about something like that can make you simply withdraw from the world. I finally came to realize that it was my intention to be helpful and that no real harm would come from what I suggested that made me forgive myself and come back here.

This is a new phase of my anxiety and I even thought maybe it was a form of depression. I often beat myself up mentally when I make mistakes but usually do not dwell on it for over a week at a time.

I will be 52 this month and was recently diagnosed post-menopausal, so wonder if my new reactions to things are part of that and are normal for people with anxiety.

Thanks for listening, everyone!

Lindaru :)
