Hi everyone,
Just introducing myself, I'm 27 and have been suffering from anxiety on and off for the last 2 years.
I haven't taken any medication yet, and am on the waiting list to get brief counselling on the NHS.
I haven't really been able to pinpoint my exact fears, nor the cause of them, but generally I worry about not being able to breathe, being trapped (whether in transport, cinema, shops or even bizarrely, queues!), illness, death, and not being able to cope with whatever life throws at me.
I read a lot (too much I think) and so sometimes spend days with thoughts whizzing round my head until I feel exhausted just trying to make sense of them.
Some days are better than others - these days tend to be the weekend when I have the freedom to choose what I want to do that day, and also am with my boyfriend...
Am feeling quite determined now to work through all this stuff (whatever it is), and look forward to chatting more with you all in the future.
:)
