Hello, my name's Nathan I'm 17 and I've been suffering from anxiety for a few months it's affected my life in many ways,
but hopefully I can overcome it and help others with anxiety as much as I can with my own experiences.
My Story - I was a popular, confident college student just 7 months ago but one day when I was called for an interview with my tutor
I began having a panic attack and an anxiety attack while talking and right from that moment I was sure something was wrong, I tried
to ignore it after for a little while but it happened again and again until I quit college in late January, and then I became very weary of
leaving the house. Last week I decided enough was enough and finally accepted the fact I had to go and
see a doctor and I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and mild depression I mean even sitting in the waiting room
made my heartbeat race and made me feel faint but I managed to get through it and get some 20mg citalopram
which I have been taking for a few days if anyone needs to talk or has any advice for me I'd love to hear.
thanks
