I deal with severe anxiety from time to time, and I recently reached out by sending an email out to my church's yahoo! group. I really vented my feelings and got into details... I was feeling like I really needed support, but now have regrets about this "broadcast" email.
Someone just emailed me back, and in a very kind and gentle way told me that it was a "bit odd" and "Inappropriate" for me to have shared that information via the Yahoo group.
The underlying vibe that I got was that I probably made some people uncomfortable and may have caused people to think I am a little nuts.
I know that having anxiety is hardly a certifiable condition for the funny farm, but I am now concerned that perhaps my way of "reaching out" was inappropriate.
I am not sure how I can face people tomorrow. I don't want to feel like I can not go to my church anymore, but I sure did find a way to make myself (and perhaps others) uncomfotable and am not entirely sure what to do next.
Thank you.
