I guess I'll give you a brief summary of me and why I'm here. My name is Chris, I have delt with anxiety and depression since I was about 16 years old although I think the signs were there my whole life. Its been compounded a lot by PTSD and I've treated it with alcohol since I was a teenager. I have been on a slew of different meds and spent countless hours in therapy and psych wards. I still managed to have a pretty active social life been able to maintain relationships and such until recently when my social anxiety just became generalized anxiety and now when I drink I have unbearable panic attacks the next day, one landed me in the ER two nights ago.
I desperately just want to have a normal life, people who don't deal with panic attacks will never be able to understand what an amazing feeling it is to just feel normal and ok. If I was somehow cured I dont think I could ever feel "bored" again in my life, I would always be able to find beauty in life and just having a stable mind.
Look forward to meeting you all and hearing your stories.
