Life

[oliviaaa1]

I’m 17 years old going into senior year in high school. I USE to do advanced dance including performances and competition, track, I use to love to go out and be around people, I use to have a job which I was a hard worker at and I just loved every bit of life. 3 years ago I started getting stressed and depressed which let up to my panic attacks, and those panic attacks led up to my issue today which is agoraphobia. Public places is a big no for me and it’s so weird because my life was so normal 3 years ago. It’s the reason why I don’t have a job or my license and I feel so behind in life. I’m trying so hard to get out and train my mind to adapt to being around people. When I was younger being anxious never crossed my mind, I could be in a crowd of 100 people and enjoy everything about it. I can’t wait to be normal again, it makes me so sad how I’m 17 and trapped in my house.

Hello

Anxiety is cruel , it does not care who it targets and I am so sorry someone so young that was enjoying life it has come your way

But get all the help you can , talk with your family , close friends if that is not possible your Doctor , look into therapy and this could no doubt with the right support get you back to enjoying life like you used to

When I was young there was no help , the one good thing is there is help now so find it , take it and don't let anxiety keep you as a prisoner you have to much to look forward to in life

You have got this , you can do it and know you are not alone

Take Care x
