My name is Jenn, Im 18 and I suffer from Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, General Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Depression. Whew, thats alot! :-P Ive also been told that I have a bit of an anger problem [B)]I had my first Panic Attack about 4 years ago and as time went on I started getting the others.
I had ended up dropping out of school in the 8th grade because of the anxiety and had tried going back the next year, which was high school. (dont know why they passed me, but they did :P) I went for about a month or so and quit but got homeschooled the rest of the year. I passed again but never went back the year after that. So since I dont go to school and I dont have a job, theres really nothing for me to do but sit in the house. Every once in awhile I'll go somewhere with my mom but not very often.
I was on paxil at one time but had to be taken off of it cause my doctor thought i was becoming a bit to dependant on it. Awhile after getting off of the medicine I went to a councilor but had stopped going cause it wasnt helping, i then started going to a different councilor, who also councils my mom and her husband, but it wasnt working out with that one either. Lately I've been looking at the Natural Remedies and have been thinking about trying that.
I havent really had any friends since Ive had this. The one best friend that I did have and that I practically grew up with I guess didnt want to hang out with me because I never wanted to go anywhere but to stay in the house and watch some movies or something and she wanted to go to the mall or drive around. The last time I saw her was about 2 months ago and the whole time I felt nervous and shakey. I dont know if its cause I havent seen her in so long or cause my mom wasnt right there (she was upstairs talking to my friends mom) but Its just a little awkward [Sigh...]
Well, I guess thats about it, sorry if its a bit long and boring.
