Hello.

[Modest]

Hello, New here. Have struggles with panic and anxiety for a strong 8 years now. I had it a little when I was a kid and of course, back even a decade ago, anxiety wasn't really known as much as it is now. I went from agoraphobia to being married and working full time. Still struggling unfortunately, I had a bad episode a few days ago and my body is feeling it. I found out I have hypothyroidism as well about 2 years ago and I have a phobia of medications so I haven't taken care of it. Never took anti anxiety medication obviously either.

Just decided to finally reach out and say hi. My name is Beau and I'm 25 years old.

Hi Modest, First off congrates on doing well with your agoraphobia, thats great. Second, you probabbly should be taking care of that hypoththyroidism a little better, you do not want to add to your anxiety. What kind of phobia do you have with medications? Are you just scared to take them or what?

Yeah I guess just side effects. I know it's probably not as bad as the symptoms of the illness. I have had a food disorder where for some reason my mind would think food was tainted. I pretty much got over that after a long time. Medicine has always been harder for me to take recently. I just stated taking tums again.
