Hey man, these videos really helped me. I started having anxiety when I was 6, but it didn't really affect me. But as I got older it kept on getting worse and worse. The the I hate the most about it is the un real feeling. When I feel like I'm not real, it's just horrible. I have bad agoraphobia.

YOu are not alone. I am on 4 medications for chronic anxiety and panic. I have my good days but sometimes I'll have them daily for a week or two and it can be a living hell. Shaky hands, pacing, crying,rocking & panting. I feel like I have it the worst. I've never met anyone who had ever had it as bad as I have and probably never will. You can talk to me anytime. Mine started 9 years ago.

Well, being at work didn't really help my anxiety any. In fact, workplace became and "anxiety zone" for me. However, being busy at home is a tremendous help. I have no trouble staying busy though! I'm always working on projects.

Yes, the first panic attack disrupts the normal flow of things until we get a handle on it, which is the recovery we're all working on.

No, the internet can scare you further. I find that out every time my hypochondria creeps up on me. So finally I have to "put the book down" so to speak, eventually. Then my fear wanes.

Yeah, the age thing kinda got to me too when I turned 30. I kept feeling kinda down that my twenties were now permanently gone. But I try to look forward.  It doesn't bother me so much now.

Hello! Yes, actually that was one of my purposes for my videos. To let people know they're certainly not alone. With some of the odd symptoms and quirks of my anxiety, I thought nobody could relate. Once I started doing these videos, people began to share with me symptoms and quirks just like mine! I was at least relieved to know that people did experience those things and could relate. Which meant my therapist had probably heard it all before.

I just personally get frustrated when I read a lot of personal details on panic attacks and people leave out crucial information that may help others relate to them. On that note, I'll end my lonnng rant! If anyone else feels the need to talk to me, I'll do my best to talk with you about it. Thanks, for the billionth time, bwelmhouse1 for contributing your videos! Best wishes and stay positive! :)
