Hey guys,
I'm Jeremy 23 years old! I started getting bad anxiety mid December 2011...I'm pretty sure mine was triggered through major stress which my primary also agrees. Recently my mom got diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) which until the surgery was very stressful. They were able to remove the cancer which is a big weight off my shoulders so I'm trying to breathe again and get my life back in order! Very hard because I could have lost the only thing that keeps me going! I am also a pre-med student focusing on family medicine and school has also had me stressed out while juggling my moms condition. All these things were going on and I think my body just broke down.
After my mom surgery I started doing a little better and the panic attacks became very limited....but I still feel other symptoms like derealization/depersonalization! Along with the other common symptoms that come with anxiety. I'm trying to recover slowly and have found a couple things that have helped me along the way! I still need a hand dealing with my anxiety and want to be able to help others since I know how debilitating this condition can be. Therefore I joined this forum to help others and also be able to help myself as well.
