Introducing myself

[karisa]

Hi, I am a 16 year old girl who has suffered from anxiety frequently from the age of 8 due to three close members of my family passing away. My anxiety only used to occur within the first two months of a new school year and in crowded places. However, since September 2012 i have suffered from anxiety much more often, leading me to having panic attacks. In September i found out i have 'biotin thiamine basal ganglia disease' which is rare and since then my anxiety levels have risen and just keeps getting worse. So I thought I would come here and ask for advice on how to handle my anxiety :)
