New and Anxious

[brithsn]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm Brittany, 21 years old and I was diagnosed with panic disorder & anxiety disorder when I was about 9-10 years old. It's amazing to see a whole community that is completely diverse with so many people that deal with the same things as I have for the longest time.

I've honestly always had the hardest time trying to communicate with anyone about my panic attacks or anxiety and I'm hoping that being apart of this community will change all of that in the most positive way possible!
