Hi, I'm new here.
Let's see, where to start...
I'm 18 and have had a anxiety disorder since the age of 11 which later devloped (with the help of secondary school) into agoraphobia with what I would call severe panic attacks when I was around 15-16. Basically, I'm afraid of embarrasing myself in public and i'm afraid of having a panic attack where I can;t escape from. I thought my life was over and had a dash of depression and suicidal thoughts but never got even close to trying to end anything. I left school and sort out help through NLP which really helped me and allowed me to get out of the house again.
I'm now doing a course in acting believe it or not (Don;t ask me how it works), I still get panicky sometimes but I have excellent tutors and a large group of friends who also have some sort of anxiety/panic disorders.
But I've joined here because there are still some things bothering me that I can;t seem to talk to people about for many a reason, one being embarrasment the other is I have a fear of pushing people away if I keep telling them about my problems (This has happened once before) And I think the annomonity of the internet will help me get my thoughts down.
