Hi,
I've been reading for a long time and finally decided to post. I love how supportive everyone is here.
I've dealt with anxiety since I was about 15. It first appeared after a close friend suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car crash. After a few years dealing with doctors and medication I managed to get it under control.
For the past 3 years almost (since I was 26) it's come back. I've been back and forth from doctors and on and off of medications - it took 7 tries to find something that worked and the side effects were tolerable. I'm finally starting to feel better and have recently started started a few different types of counselling to try and deal with this.
Anyway, just wanted to share my story. I've found some great advice here over the past little while and I thought it was time to stop lurking around and join up.
