Hi
I started having problems with anxiety 12 years ago following the suicide of someone i was in a relationship with. The relationship wasn't long at all but threw me completely. I had started college around this time as well. I wasn't a particularly confident person, ever, had problems with blushing but still went out to work/uni/with friends.
Had my first panic attack giving a presentation then i started with symptoms of social anxiety over the 3 years i was at college. For the past 8 years i've been on seroxat (now off and on venlafaxine). I'm having therapy for the first time as well.
I sometimes wonder if my problems are maybe as a result of PTSD and not just social anxiety. Thought i'd just air my views and see what you guys say.
