Hello Im new

[little_geko]

Hi everyone,

I am 28 and was recently advised to seek help for crippling anxiety. But I'm too anxious to even get myself to a doctor. I had my first panic attack at 14 but only recently has a friend pointed out to me that my behaviour isn't normal. So I'm trying to work up the ability to seek help and this is my first attempt to reach out. I hope that speaking to others that have sought help will push me to make that appointment.

Thanks for listening

Welcome. You will find plenty of people whom I'm sure feel the same way as you on here. I've found it to be alot of help reading others stories and trying to help out when I can. What's happening that your friend says is not normal? What are your panic attacks like and do you know what triggers them?
