Hello :) I found this website today when googling some symptoms I've been having, I had a little look around, and it looks extremely helpful so I thought perhaps you lot could help me out.

I'm 20 years old, and have been suffering from depression since the age of 14. I quit therapy and came off my medication about one year ago as I decided to start college.

However, new symptoms have been developing since. My college year was stunted due to my social anxieties, on being asked to read out loud, give presentations, answer questions my heart rate would go up so high that it would cause my whole body and voice to shake, I found myself going to great lengths to avoid these situations.

And over the past 3 months, I have been experiencing what I think are panic attacks during arguments with loved ones.

If anyone can offer me any advice, I'd really appreciate it :)

Thanks!
