Hi all,

I find myself on this site because I have anxiety and the last week or so has been really rough for me. I have gone through so much self help and CBT and I still go through a cycle of anxiety and panic and recently thoughts of self harm and suicide. I react badly to medication and I'm at a loss of what to do. My concentration is shot and I don't find enjoyment in things anymore, I feel in some ways like I've lost who I am to these feelings that are unjustified and just not me.

Thanks for the reply. I'm F 24, anxiety started around 13. Things in my life are going amazingly- I've just bought my first home with my partner, have a job I find rewarding and have a very supportive family. I just wish my emotions and energy levels matched, it almost feels like I'm spectating rather than experiencing my own life if that makes any sense!
