Hey, I'm new here on the forum. I suffered from anxiety for about a year and a half until I managed to beat it on my own.
I'm here mostly because I want to help other people overcome anxiety. I understand what kind of problems it can cause to your normal life and I know how much more I was able to do once I got rid of it.
Just to illustrate how severe of an anxiety I had: I wasn't able to breathe normally, I've developed IBS and certain reactions to food I never had before. I had to alter my whole life, drop out of collage and ruin my life before I managed to overcome anxiety on my own. I've tried medication, and all sorts of therapy but non of it seamed to work, it was just a waste of time and money.
6 or 7 months ago I finally managed to semi-control myself and drastically reduce the anxiety attacks that I was having on a daily basis. Up to this day I haven't had an attack.
Anyway, that's enough about me. I'm glad that I'm here with all of you and I hope you'll make me feel welcome as well.
