Joined this morning; this is my 1st post. I'm 37 & have been dealing with panic, OCD, depression & multiple other issues since I was 17 & involved in a fatal car accident. I suffered a TBI & my life was forever changed. I have had panic attacks since that time, now twenty years. I began suffering depression after the birth of my son, 17 years ago, & OCD started around that time also. I went through severe agoraphobia & spent two/three years 'housebound.' I've seen multiple therapists & now just deal with things on my own. I do not work outside the home. I have been hospitalized twice. I previously self-injured, but have not felt urges for many years. I've been on this roller coaster for so long, I don't think I would know what to do if my life were "normal." No one knows how much I suffer, how many things I go through (save my husband and son) & I've lost practically every friend I have because of my inability to speak on the phone & socialize. I am here to find others like me, some shoulders to lean on & hopefully offer my own experiences, support & help.
