Is it only going to get worse?

[JDizzle]

Everyday I ask myself this and I'm only almost 20.
As a sufferer of anxiety, panic disorder and depression, I'm feeling much too overwhelmed at this current point in my life life :(
I just want to know I'm not alone :'(

I went through that point. We all have a point where our anxiety "matures". Maxes out so to speak. The day I began to get better was to seek treatment by going to a doc for a looong talk. Then I began the process of learning all about anxiety, treatments, common scenarios, trying various meds to see which was best for me, etc. It took time but I began to accept it, understand it and swore to become a student of anxiety to learn how to live the fullest life despite it and with it.
Anxiety is part of being human, true most folks don't have anxiety that disrupts life like ours but it all stems from excessive worry/fears and a tendency to over react to our environment. Once you get the high anxiety/panic, phobic avoidance can start and off we go getting even more anxious and the full blown disorder develops.
So learn all you can, get a relationship with a good doc/therapist and be proactive by also becoming a student of anxiety disorders and live more fully by understanding it like a diabetic, asthmatic or epileptic understands and manages their disease with the help of a good doc........and us fellow anxious folks:) PM me any time.
