I'm nearly 17 and have had severe anxiety for almost a year now. I am having counselling therapy and I'm on Propranolol but I'm still having difficulty coping with it. My anxiety is situated around leaving the house, and I'm afraid of 'the unknown'. I'm losing friends because they think I'm being antisocial, but it takes so much for me to leave my house.
I'm worried because I'm so young and I hate that this has a massive impact on my life. It disrupts my every day life because I can't do anything that normal teenagers do! I have panic attacks regularly and I'm throwing up at least once a day.
I want to know if anyone suffers from anxiety similar, or even how people cope with any anxiety?
I hate feeling alone with this illness.
