Hi I'm new! Lizzie.

[dizzielizzie]

Hi my names Lizzie and I'm a 24 year old gal, with a few issues!
I only just found this site, and it's really encouraging that there are people out there that understand and feel the same.
I have felt alone with my depression and worries for a long time. I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was about 11. Think most of it was because I was bullied and beaten by my Dad and my step mum and bullied at school for years.
I used to drink, party and get out of my head all the time on e's and speed to make me feel happy, but the come downs got worse and worse and now I can't even drink let alone do anything else.

I just want to be happy, and be able to have fun with friends, without worrying, without panicing and running off, and without hating myself and wanting to die.

Ok thats me, I have some major ups and downs, but in the words of Gloria Estafan "I will survive"

All the best peeps!!!!!

hi lizzie

Sorry to here things have been tough, I know how you feel about wanting to have fun with friends without worrying etc, I dropped out of a weekend away with friends just last week (in case I had a panic attack)!

There is no need to blame or hate yourself as we dont ask or deserve to feel like this.

I'm sure you will find the site really helpful. I look forward to getting to know you

take care

Thanks guys! I have no idea how to send messeges on this site though to separate people, how do I send private messeges?

Hello - welcome and glad you stopped by

Sounds like you need to get some counselling to help you deal with those past traumatic issues and then you can move on
