Welcome to the Anxiety Forum, Lisa Marie. All of us here have anxiety and triggers or phobias. I'm so sorry to hear that you have been suffering from anxiety and depression for a long time. It can ruin a person's life if they don't get help.

I myself, have Social Phobia; but I'm so much better because of CBT and talking to others who also suffer from anxiety. You will find a wealth of kindness and great advice from the people here on this forum.

I'm so glad to hear that you are getting better :) ! The worst advice people can give is "Pull yoursellf together" ,"Get a grip," or the classic, "Just calm down!" I think I've heard them all - but not here. People who don't understand or those that do not have anxiety are sorta clueless and say the wrong things....makes me mad too!

Hope to see you back soon :) !

Take care - soshy
