Hi all.
I've just been told I have GAD so looking for ways of fighting it and nipping it in the bud.
I think my anxiety started from an early age, my first panic attack was 11. Although I didn't know that then. Then again at 15, then again at 17, probably a few other times in between, 22, and now I'm 24 I have had more panic attacks in the last two months than I thought possible.
So i'm now on medication and started CBT. Also trying various other tricks like camomile tea etc.
It's a very scarey thing as I'm sure you all know very well, which is why I've joined the forum. It's nice to see how everyone else is coping with the same problems. It seems everyone else doesn't quite see anxiety being anything more than a little stress!
Anyway looking forward to getting to know you all.
