You should consider seeing your doctor, your not alone caraanne, theres millions of people who suffer with anxiety/depression, it's not impossible to fully recover and get your life back on track, your young and new to this, you need some support and guidance, I would seriously consider going to get advice from the doctor as they will know your medical history and be able to guide you in a suitable direction, in the meantime you can come here anytime to chat and find reassuring comfort from people who understand your struggle, big hugs, hang in there, you'll be ok xxx

Hi,

You are so young with so much life ahead you. I understand how hard it must be for you. Is there anyone like family or friends you can reach out to?

You're about the same age I was when I realized the weird feelings I had were probably anxiety. Not everyone in my family believes in that sort of thing either. If you need to, make an excuse to see the doctor, then tell them what you're really there for when the doc comes in. That's how I finally did it when I worked up the courage to talk about it. The hardest thing for me has always been to admit to someone else what's going on with me. I could feel like my insides are tearing themselves apart but I'll smile and tell people I'm fine. At some point we have to surrender our pride and ask for help though, and it's the hardest thing!

Just found your post. I am new to this support group. It resonates with me when you said drama queen. My best friend of 40 years instead of helping me has begun calling me just that. Go figure. She says that I only think of myself but I'm thinking how can't it be just that, I am hurting and people I would have counted on say something positive, instead tell me " Just get over it".
