Hi Everyone

Been reading lots of posts thinking im not ht eonly 1!!! Im 27 years old and suffering/anxiety and pnic when in crowded places.

I used to do everything go to watch football Aston Villa, go on holiday, go shopping and go to busy pubs now i can;t do any of this.

I am making small steps like i have been to shops for a short while/been to theatre and busy pub but its hard but the whole thing has made me feel depressed and am now on anti depressant.

Its affected everyting, my life, relationship i hope i can recover from all this as i used to love being normal and have so much to do in my life.

Hi Becky :)

I too have anxiety, panic attacks caused by BDD. Crowds are really bad for me too, also struggle with going to the football/rugby. What meds are you on?

Hope you find help and comfort here.

Darren.

Im also a newbie found the site by chance initially just reading the info pages then after reading a few posts felt like I was reading about myself. Just reading the comments on here makes me feel better and less uptight knowing there are others going thru the same. Welcome!
