Websites like this are a God-send to people like myself, who suffer from social anxiety issues. It's nice to be able to speak with like minded people, who understand what I'm going through, right from my own home. One of my biggest issues is using the phone, and right up there with it, is being in a group situation. This website is a no pressure place where I can talk with people who have similar issues, and together we can help one another!

As someone who lives with both panic disorder and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), sites like these are like a lifeline. However, anxietytribe is different because it's specialized. Instead of sifting through mountains of posts from sufferers of others conditions, I know I'll be right at home here and will get the support I need.

My panic attacks hit me in the night more often than at any other time. This means my husband is asleep and, not wanting to wake him up, I'm in it alone. However, with anxietytrribe I can go straight to the forum for a pep talk or just some needed distraction. Sometimes, just reading the posts from others going through what I'm going through is enough to help calm me down, or at least take my mind off of it.

Oh, and speaking of taking my mind off it, the site has games right there. Brilliant! Often my attacks get so bad that I can't get my emotions under control, and it's distractions like these that make all the difference. Absolutely amazing!
