Hi to the forum,
Just thought I would introduce myself, I've struggled with anxiety for many years and the last 18 months or so have been the worst, but I have made a conscious decision to try and make small steps in getting myself out of this deep pit I've found myself in. Having to challenge my thoughts each day to confront my fears, I felt the need to find a site with like minded folks who understand a little of what that means and hopefully here I will find some comfort and support. I've already found some content helpful and hopefully I can continue with a more positive frame of mind.
A little about myself, I am just starting to venture out into the real world again having been reclusive for quite some time, my panic and fear cause me to have episodes of SVT which in itself is quite terrifying. I choose not to take tablets but at the moment I am trying to learn to control my breathing when I am anxious as a way to calm my mind and relax, but as with everything it takes a lot of practice.
