Hi All!
I'm Katie. I'm 26 from West Yorkshire joined here as my college support tutor suggested that joining a "community" where others with similar experiences may be of help to me.
I started having panic attacks, when I was about 14/15. Was badly bullied in school from the age of 9 and college counsellors have said this is what probably started it all off.
I have been out of education since I left school 10 years ago, having not done very well but returned to college last sept 2011 and I have been more determined this past year, to succeed. I have had panic attacks but the support at college has been fantastic.
In September I am making a huge step I feel of moving to London, for Uni. I am looking forward to it but I worried as time gets closer the pressure may start to mount up and worried that I'll ruin everything if I start to panic, especially with not having any support network down there.
Sorry if I'm waffling just thought I'd mention a bit about myself and why I am here. And to hopefully make some new friends and being a bit of a recluse I don't have many friends at all :(.
