Hi, my name is Librashell3531. I'm here because I am looking for information on mental health issues and chronic pain issues due to severe back problems. Going for a conceltation next month about back surgery. I am so scared of surgery and my severe anxiety makes things even worse. Open to advice and options. It also helps a bit knowing I'm not alone.

I don't know if you've ever been a groupme user, or part of a groupme group, but I am part of a few and they are a huge part of my support system. One of the nicest parts is that groupme has always intergraded with texting (SMS) even for those who don't have smartphones or reliable internet access, both of which are common in the community that I'm part of. However, that is about to change since since Microsoft sent out a message that they are ending SMS integration in 7 days. Can you join me and others in urging them to reverse this decision? Please sign this petition and promote it to your contacts.
If you are a groupme user, you can also help by submitting feedback through the app.
Thank you so much!!

1 reaction Hi, my name is verde7. I'm looking for sharing with others who have agoraphobia (mine is intermittent- and semi active right now). Also have anxiety and OCD. My OCD isn’t as problematic as it used to be.

If you've ever quit something difficult and immediately felt relieved, there's a reason for that.
When something makes us anxious, uncomfortable, or afraid, walking away removes that discomfort. For a moment, we feel better. And because relief feels rewarding, our brain can start learning that avoiding difficult things is the fastest way to feel safe again.
That's why I don't think beating yourself up for quitting helps. Understanding the pattern does. The more often we escape discomfort, the easier escaping can become. But the opposite can be practiced too. We can learn to stay with something uncomfortable for a little longer and discover that we are capable of handling more than our mind initially tells us.
This matters in depression recovery too. Taking care of yourself, asking for help, changing old habits, or facing something painful can all feel harder in the short term than avoiding them. But short-term relief and long-term healing are not always the same thing.
So next time you feel the urge to quit something that genuinely matters to you, give yourself five minutes before deciding. You may still choose to walk away, but make it a decision rather than an automatic reaction.
What's something important you've been tempted to give up on lately?
Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

Like many chronic health conditions, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a difficult condition to explain to people. I like to use the ‘Smartphone Analogy’ because it is usually easier for people to relate to as most people have a smartphone these days.
The Smartphone Analogy:
Imagine that a person is like a smartphone – the hardware of the phone is like the person’s physical body; the software/apps on the phone is like the body’s functioning. A person without FND is like a smartphone that is all structurally correct with all the apps functioning properly. A person with FND is like a smartphone that is all structurally correct with software issues and apps that are not functioning properly.
