Hi!

[BlueIris]

How are you doing? I go by Iris on here.

I'm 41, I work in education and I suffer from anxiety and depression that vary between being a minor nuisance and absolutely crippling. My main issue is health anxiety, but my general stress levels are pretty high and panic attacks are pretty much a constant part of my life.

I'm managing my issues right now with Citalopram, and I'm hoping to have a brush-up of my mindfulness techniques soon courtesy of MIND.

When I'm not working or panicking, I design beaded jewellery, run around after my cats and spend far too much money on Lego.

It's great to meet you all!

Hey Iris. I work in education as well, but in the corporate sector. Love dogs and reading �� Hope we both get to find answers and support here, and hopefully help others in return.
