Greetings from Greece everyone:)
I'm Aura, 21 years old female and I have been reading this site for quite a long time but I decided to share my experiences with you as well as some support :hugs:
I have been having panic attacks since I finished high school but I could still control my life and not let them affect my daily routines. Things got worse as time went by, and this last year has been horrible for me, I had a terrible panic attack on a plane (yup, awful) and since then things went downhill. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed me antidepressants and Xanax, but I decided only to try the first ones.
I am now getting help from an amazing psychologist but my patience is running out. I also developed agoraphobia and a mild form of depression but it's still anxiety, constant-every-minute-of-every-day anxiety that tortures me that escalates to panic attacks. I guess a short way to describe what I'm feeling is that I fear the state of fear itself and I get anxious with anxiety if
that makes sense:scared15:
I will let you know more about my situation on another thread :)
Happy to find you all!
