Hello!

[LeanneRachel]

Hi everyone!

I'm Leanne, I'm 17 and I've been suffering from an anxiety and panic disorder since I was 4 years old. I also suffer from emetaphobia which has significantly affected my social life - I barely leave the house anymore.

I've had various therapy over the past 4 years, but am starting my first session of CBT on Monday which I'm extremely apprehensive about!

I've been thinking about joining No More Panic for a while now, so hopefully I'll meet some like minded people that will share the journey with me. :)

I'm happy to be here!

Hey there Leanne,

I'm Chris - nice to meet you :).

You will find a lot of really useful links and posts and helpful members around NMP. You are definately not alone in this journey.

As for your CBT session - try not to worry too much about it - think of it as being something really good, this could be the kickstart of recovery, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

Shall catch you around NMP, in the meanwhile, take care of yourself :)

Hi Leanne

welcome and hope the cbt works well for you. Make sure you put the effort in outside of therapy to give it its best chance.
