My name is Lydia. I'm currently suffering from anxiety, and am heading back into college at the start of September, after taking a year out in an attempt to 'recover'. Needless to say, it hardly felt like enough.
I spent the morning attempting to answer emails, organise myself and calm the heck down, got overwhelmed and ended up here. I've been here before, about two years ago, when I first dropped out of college.
My mind is quite manic at the moment, as I'm currently withdrawing from fluoxetine. I was on it for approx. a year, and by request, and with the aid of my psychiatrist, Ive been weening myself off it.
Anyways, I'm just here to say hi! I'd love to vent with some of you guys about some of the million catch-22s us people with anxiety have to face in trying to navigate everyday life, especially when we take the plunge and reach out. :)
