Hello. I'm new here

Hi. My name is Jackie and I'm hoping reaching out this this community will give me a little extra support.
I'm going through a very rough time right now. I've had anxiety for years, but these past few months it's gotten out of control, and I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm anxious all day long. Sometimes I have three serious anxiety attacks a day. They leave me exhausted, yet I'm unable to fall asleep. I'm too anxious to eat. I've dropped out of University and I can't leave the house anymore. When I try, anxiety attacks hit me before long. The doctor is too far away for me to go. I feel trapped in my house, and I have no idea how to get better. The situation seems absolutely hopeless. I feel very alone. I'm starting to worry that the only way out of this situation is to harm myself, and those thoughts are scariest of all.
If anyone can offer any advice, or would just like to chat, I could really use friends now.
Thanks you for reading.

Welcome, Jackie. I'm also new and hoping to reach out for support. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I felt the same way, unable to leave my house or drive because I was so afraid of everything. I hope you find some support and relief here <3
