Hello, and nice to meet everyone on here.
I've had anxiety and depression for 9 years, but have recently decided that I want to get better (long story short - I've sort of been in denial about it for a long time).
I'm hoping that I can find some support and like minded people here, as I find it difficult to relate to and express myself to my doctors. I'm also hoping for some advice…as much as I'm trying to improve things, I feel like it's all getting worse, including the physical symptoms (today I had a panic attack and notices my vision was so blurred, even wearing my glasses which are supposed to correct a focussing problem, that I couldn't see straight for nearly an hour afterwards. This really scared me.). I also don't feel like I have anywhere to turn or anyone to talk to about this. Does anyone relate?
Anyway, that seems like quite a long and not so happy introduction, but I'll be happy to chat with you all, and hopefully not feel like such a freak when I write here.
