Hi there,
If you haven't already gathered from my choice of greeting, I am an English 17 year old male, and I suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder (I requested not to know the diagnosis as I don't want to put a label on my feelings.)
To cut a long story short, I have this week come out of the other end of a 2 and a half month long anxiety induced depression episode, and am seeking coping techniques to help make sure I never have one again. Of course, I accept I may have another one, but I will not see it as a defeat. But I want to build a support network of fellow "sufferers" (another word I don't like using) - because I spend a lot of time on the internet and I gathered if I'm gonna procrastinate this is a pretty good place to do it.
I am in my final year of sixth form (college for you Americans) before I head onto my gap year and then university. Of course much of the anxiety is about this big life step. I was prescribed 20mg Fluoxetine and whilst initially reluctant, I went for it in the view to get me through the remainder of school. It is my 18th birthday in June and I am strictly tee-total because of the medication but I do not want to be on medication for life..
Enough about me, you'll get to know me more hopefully through these forums, or maybe even the chat room.
Hope everyone is having an awesome day whenever you read this,
Kyle/kj
