Hi all, this is my 1st post on here so here It goes. Im a 20yr old male,I've had anxiety for the past 4 years or so. But only understood what I was experiencing last year when I hit rock bottom. I have social anxiety and it's not healthy i can't do 10% of the things someone my age doesn't think twice about. I've never been diagnosed because I'm too afraid to go to the doctors. And when I think about how it holds me back that's when the depression starts. So I know it's time I started to try do something about it.
Thanks for reading,
Look forward to speaking to you all,
Jac.

I'm new to this page too. 20 yo female. Had anxiety since I was 10 but really only hit me hard again maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I suffer from some social anxiety too. But mostly health anxiety and anxiety about things I can't control. The depression has been worse lately too. It's reassuring to hear from other people my age experiencing similar issues. Just know that there is support out there!

Thankyou for sharing that with me, I can't begin to think what you are going through. It's so strange how anxiety can affect people In such different ways. But if you ever want to talk you know where I am. :)
