Hello,
I am new to this site, but have found it extremely helful. I am 25, newly married and have just started my career as a teacher (I am supplying right now). I have had anxiety/panic for about 3 years. I have good days and bad days, but have found that distraction works best for me. My worst symptom is the depersonalization/derealization. I really thought I was going crazy (sometimes I still do).
I am seeing a psychologist right now about once a month and have been taking vitamins and suppliments that seem to work most of the time. I am afraid to take medication and have attemted to several times, but just can't do it. I think I will try some natural remedies first.
My biggest fear is being in a classroom and feeling like I need to leave. I worry about this constantly, which makes it worse. I have felt this way, but have managed to distract myself. I am just afraid that one day I will not be able to control it. Does any one have any suggestions or advice? I would appreciate it!
Thanks
Michelle
