Hi everyone,
I'm 29 year old female from northern California. I've decided to join this forum because I think it will help to talk to others who are going through the same things that I am struggling with.
I've had anxiety in many different forms on and off my whole life. I had mild OCD as a child, obsessive thoughts, phobias etc...over the past 10 years, I've basically had generalized anxiety with some depression thrown in. But over the last couple years, life has thrown some challenges my way, and I think being close to 30, and not feeling like I have my life together has made my anxiety return in full form.
Over the last year I've struggled with increased anxiety/panic attacks. I've kept struggling through them, feeling better for a while, then relapsing again. It's been exhausting and I just feel depressed and so tired of feeling this way.
I've been seeing a counselor once a week, have been on Zoloft for almost 5 weeks (with mixed results), and am trying to meditate/exercise as much as I can.
I just feel tired and kind of hopeless at times. It takes so much energy to keep fighting this, and I just want to feel better already!
Anyway, I'm overall a positive person, and I'm trying to maintain a good attitude, but it's just really hard right now.
Well, thanks for reading this, I'm looking forward to exploring the forums here pretty soon.
