Struggling but trying to get better

[shady]

Hi, I'm shady and I'm 22 years old. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, depression and anxiety. I suffer from a lot of panic attacks, and I guess I'm here to find out how other people have dealt with their anxiety and what had or hasn't worked for them

Shady, have you identified all the events or causes of your anxiety? Meeting with a therapist was where I started and still believe is a good first step... to go over everything in your life.
PM me any time. Alankay

I have a new counsellor and have seen her about 3 times. We are exploring cbt, although for the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to leave the house. We had started with trying to pin point exactly what scenarios cause the anxiety and panic attacks but it's something I find very difficult to share. Sometimes I dont think I'm ready for counselling, but t the same time I know things ant keep going the way they have been, because it's no way to be living life.
