I am 23 and live in Surrey UK.
I currently work selling cars, i've been suffering from anxiety/panic attacks for the last 10 years. I have managed to have 5 years free from any worries since i was 18 but unfortunately my problems have come back again.
I have joined this forum so that i cant speak out and also try to understand what sets things off for other people, i by no means feel like i'm alone i just don't believe i have anyone that think truly understands.
Originally my anxiety/panic attacks started from school, one of my classmates was badly ill in one of my classes once and shortly after that things got so bad that i couldn't deal with attending classes. I quit school 3 months after the incident.
In hindsight having that issue and quitting school was one of the best things ever to happen to me (dare i say it). Since then i have had a burning desire to prove everyone who said i wouldn't get anywhere without an education wrong.
Currently i am living the dream and i truly am very happy and grateful to be able to say that, however my anxiety has come back. I think it's mainly down to stress from work but i'm not quite sure. In my mind i have nothing to worry about, so why am i worrying?
I thought it be useful to speak to other people in the same boat, i've recovered from this once so it can be done i just don't ever want it to come back.
I'd love to hear from you all!
