I'd like to start with a little bio about myself, but where to begin??
When I was 15 I was diagnosed with depression. This was the result of many life changing events happening all within a year. Up until that point in my life I had always been pretty happy and laid back. Then almost over night I completely changed as a person. Along with my depression I believe I also developed Social Anxiety. I found it hard to be in school, and out in public which lead to me leaving school altogether. It got so bad that I barely left my house for a year.
After meds, therapy and a lot of maturity I moved on with my life. I started working at 16 which was great in helping me overcome my anxiety. I am now 22 and have had only a few minor anxiety/panic attacks in the past few years. I though it was something I had gotten over and didn't need to worry about. Until a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately it seems like my anxiety/panic attacks are back. They don't seem to be "Social" related, but more specific to different types of situations. So I figured why not come to a place where everyone else will know what I'm going through
I look forward to meeting you all!
