Hi there
I'm Em, a 27 year old from York. Where to start.........hmmmm.
Well I've suffered with depression on and off for the last few years and have been on various antidepressants. I guess have always been quite anxious about everything. As i got older I assumed I'd become more confident and be able to control my anxiety but in fact I seem to be getting worse. Its affecting me in most aspects of my life and consequently I really feel like I'm missing out on things whether its a drink at the pub with people or a promotion at work. I will do anything in my power not to be put in situations that would make me start feeling anxious and het up (situations that most people wouldn't bat an eyelid at) and start feeling anxious over such things as talking to people on the phone, walking into an office thats got a lot of people in, talking to people in front of others, going places by myself, being in long queues, driving.........the list goes on and on.
I was hoping that I'd find some support and people in a similar boat to me.
