Hey, everyone. I'm a 26 year old female who has been dealing with anxiety (not sure how severe, because I've never been properly treated) for about three years.
I'm currently on Klonopin, and can function, to an extent. Like, I've held jobs and such in the past, I even held a job over the summer where I was a Teacher's Assistant and truthfully, I was fine 99% of the time at work.
But, as of right now, I have dropped out of college for the second time in my life, mostly due to small bouts of panic while at school, and am unemployed, mostly due to my constant fear of going to work and being on my feet all day.
Aside from regular panic (not sure if there is such a thing) I have an irrational fear that I'm going to faint for no real reason. I can't understand it, have never spoken to a professional about it, and really am baffled as to why I feel this way.
I'm pretty sure I should get therapy, because I've been told that it's not really good to get on klonopin and stay on it, but I can't afford it and basically, that's why I'm here.
I hope that my presence here can not only benefit me, but perhaps some of my stories and experiences can help someone as well.
Whew, that was a mouthful, ne? Either way, hi guys. :whistles:
