Introduction

[Helen Sidebottom]

Hello,

I'm Helen, 28 and I've been suffering from anxiety for as long as I can remember. Four years ago I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder after I was committed to our local hospital for a string of suicide attempts and cutting behaviour. The majority of my anxiety is centred around money and monetary issues. I had my first full blown panic attack in years this morning due to something that may or may not happen later on today, and I came here looking for friendship and support.
