I have been dealing with anxiety since I was a young kid. In elementary/middle school I remember memories of being anxious. In middle school it got BAD. I hated school. I had a huge phobia of others throwing up or getting sick (long story short, someone threw up next to me during church n it traumatized me lol) So I know I've had this issue for awhile. When I hit HS, i was diagnosed with depression and general anxiety. The anxiety didn't get bad until I graduated HS. I started getting panic attacks..ended up in the ER and they put me on benzos. It helped. But unfortunately I was in the middle of my drug addiction (Herion) so I was abusing the benzos. When I got clean and a shit ton of meds tried later, I am here today 28 yrs old, definitely dealing with bad anxiety and panic attacks. I hate it. It controls my mind. I am sitting here at the nail salon thinking, what if I have a panic attack? I'm stuck here. I think of it at every place , is there a way out? Driving is a huge trigger too since I was in a bad accident years ago. Driving on the highway always throws me into an anxiety attack. I am so sick of it. I am in constant fear of my health , thinking every panic something is wrong. Does it get better? How do others deal?
