I've had anxiety since my mid teens and depression much longer.
Quite often it feels like I never get anywhere with it, especially when I'm low. But I do, I just don't get there fast enough for my liking x

OCD since 14 yrs old, anxiety since 2 years ago and depression/crazy mood swings for a long time but only realised the past few months. I didn't think my behaviour was a problem either until it I hit rock bottom at the start of the year!

I had my first panic attacks age 14 (now 56) but they only really became a big problem to me and affecting my life about 10 years ago.

I was 32 years old when I had my first break down and full blown panic attack, I was then on citalopram for years with just the odd blip now and then but in the last seven years things have been a lot worse resulting in a massive break down last year which resulted in agoraphobia, I was off work seven months. I have been back at work since last October and every day is a struggle but I get up and get on with it. I have recently changed meds and gone back to citalopram and fingers crossed it has made things easier. I have lost all of my friends because I could not go out and now find life lonely but reading others posts it seems a price we have to pay xx

Since I was 9-10, but now I have depression alongside it. I think if anything I get more panic attacks as I get older but equally I am more equipped to deal with them and can control them to a certain degree.

i've suffer from panic attacks for the past 7 years and it seems to be getting progressively worse. i'm afraid to go out and socialise in case in have an attack in public.

[GingerFish]

I've been highly strung and stressed over everything whether I have a reason to or not all my life but I've only had panic attacks for the last 2 yrs and I've only had constant panics, well at least 10 a day for the last 10 months.
