I have had anxiety, ocd and panic attacks since I was 18. This led to addiction. I have help with the addiction, and have been clean and sober 14 years, but the anxiety I still live with. I have support, medication and therapy, but it does get bad.
I have had a few rough months, outside stuff like study and work trigger it. First it was the generalised anxiety, that lump in the throat and constantly light headed, shaky and tense.
Now its the old one of feeling like I need to urinate all the time. I don't get it in certain places, but find that fear of harmless situations come in. Like fear of the pool,gym and harmless things. And worrying about being trapped and keep wanting to escape the room, or long car journeys and not being able to escape. Dating at the mo, and its hell. The worry and anxiety of it makes it 10 times worse.
I hope to use this site anyway, I have seen so many things I empathise and identify with already. Glad im not alone
