Hi, I've never been a part of a forum before. I just want to be a part of a safe community as I don't get the opportunity to talk about my problems except with my doctor. I've suffered with anxiety / depression on / off since my high school days. Right now I have once again hit rock bottom. The other day I had an anxiety attack at my college. I meet with my doctor here and there. I take medications for sleep and anxiety. I hope someone replies.

Welcome, Lavender95!

Why do you not get the chance to talk to someone in your life about your issues except with your doctor?

Hi MainerMikeBrown,

Thanks for your response.
I used to talk to my best friend about it, but the last time we talked about my issues she started crying and I hate to make her feel that way.
While I want her to be aware of my issues, I don't want to burden her.
I also plan to start meeting with a college counselor starting next week and hopefully that will help as well.
