I'm 24 now, I just developed anxiety and panic attacks. Could it be this whole adulting phase causing my anxiety? When did you get your first panic and anxiety attack?

Hi Gina10. It has nothing to do with adulting phase but has everything to do with you questioning it all and not practising acceptance. I was in my mid 40s when I developed anxiety and can happen at any time. It is caused by poorly handled stress and nothing to do with age. Fighting anxiety just adds more fear to the fear already there . Follow the advice I have given previously and keep following it until you recover.

Best wishes

Hi Gina! I am 29 and my anxiety disorder began when I was 23! Most forms of generalized anxiety disorder and other anxiety disorders tend to present themselves in early adulthood! Hang in there! There will be bad days, but many good days as well!

Best wishes, Amy :)
