Hello everyone, Just thought I would do a first post.


I have had severe anxiety all of my life, which is why I am where I am now. A point with no friends, no living parents, nothing at all.

It's ironic really isn't it, that anxiety ruins lives, but isn't always taken that seriously or diagnosed correctly because the person who has it struggles to explain their symptoms to a doctor because of.... Anxiety.

For over 10 years I went to doctors about the anxiety but a mixture of not being able to explain myself properly and them not fully understanding how badly it ruins my life means I have only been given minimal help, if any at all.

It's taken until the last week for a doctor to finally understand. I was told I have chronic anxiety and again more irony.... The help I have been offered to help with the anxiety feels really overwhelming and difficult to face because anxiety has ruined my life so much that I feel so low, drained and unable to focus.

Thats me anyway. I wont put any more as I will save it for other threads :D
