I'm a student and i have been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for a good few years now, mainly health related and more recently spread into social anxietys and near enough anything, I'm halfway through my university course now and its been getting progressively worse.
i had regular weekly or sometimes daily panic attacks and I'm happy to say I'm not suffering with them so often now, but this has been replaced with constant waves of anxiety and stress, i feel like it happens at random sometimes, i find it very difficult to be in social situations and i get even worse trying to explain to family, feeling as if my mind goes blank and i get overwhelmed with panic and i have a constant fear of falling into another panic attack
its started to affect my sleep as i often can't relax and find myself waking up in the night if i try, i have also started avoiding going out with friends or engaging in conversations. i have never seen anyone about my panic attacks and its getting to the point where i really need to, but i found this website a much better way of worry googling my troubles, it would be nice to hear back from people with similar experiences
thanks,
grace
