Hi everyone :)

I've joined No More Panic to see if it will help with my long standing anxiety-depression problems. I am 21 years old from Liverpool and have suffered with anxiety/depression from a very young age. I have also had an eating disorder (anorexia, from which I have recovered) and sometimes think I have mild Body Dysmorphia.

My symptoms are getting me really down lately. I had to drop out of university because of my panic attacks and fear of social contact. Now I want to start another degree and feel too scared too. I want to make something of my life and have a lot to give, but this 'thing' just keeps holding me back all the time. I feel like I have to settle for things and I don't want to anymore. I just want to feel secure in myself.

I don't know what else to say, but I hope you guys will welcome me on to NMP.

Thanks for reading!

Sdio.

Thanks Dusky :)

I would ask my GP but I am sick of counselling to be honest. It doesn't work for me. If there was a boot camp I'd rather go to that! Years of counselling have proved to be nothing but a pain in the bottom.

Hope to see you around.

There is no boot camp I'm afraid
