Hello everyone! :D
Where to start.....ok =]
I'm Lucie, 18, with anorexia, emetophobia and panic disorder.
Basically, Im here for support, to support others, and to try and find some information from those of you with experience.
Being a nervous child, I was diaganosed with panic disorder just after leaving primary school (at age 11), which eventually led to a diagnosis of anorexia and emetophbia (both at age 13) both caused by the distress caused by the constant anxiety.
Ive tried a number of therepies from CBT, fluoxetine, diazepam etc. After spending trying to find a way out of this mess, i am no further ahead than i was 4, 5, even 6 years ago. I used to be afriad of travelling within a 10 mile radious of my home, that chaged to a 5 mile radious, then i became afriad to go further than the corner shop, now it not only terrifies me to leave my house, but eating and drinking is a challange to.
Has anyone else ever been in this position. Or had any kid of therapy/medication/breakthrough that has helped them break down doors?
Thankyou! :)
