Im beginning to lose control of this.

Postby Arabprincess2011 » Sat Mar 19, 2011 4:43 pm

Hello everyone :)
I have never posted here before, so please bare with me.
Im almost 22 years old and I have been living with anxiety for about 9 years now. All throughout high school I could not sit in a classroom to save my life. The first time I ever dealt with anxiety was when I was 13 years old. It was my first day of high school and I remember sitting down in class and just feeling my body in shock. All of a sudden my stomach started turning and I ran to the restroom. Ever since that day, I have been fighting this monster.
I had to leave high school and enter an independent studies program since sitting in a classroom environment was out of the question.
It just snuck into my life. I cant explain why it happens, and that kills me.
I cannot be in enclosed spaces except for my safe places and I have become socially akward. This is coming from the party girl, that had it all. I never thought this could happen to me. I was successful at a young age, and I have always worked hard. I lost my job almost a year to the date and since then, my anxiety has been through the roof! I am so depressed. You all have no idea how embarrassed and humiliated I am to say that. Wow this is hard.
I grew up in a strict arab family, and not much love at all. My parents have ruined me.
All I have had is God to help me through this and if I ever want to live right I need to get help.
Sitting in church causes anxiety, work place, hair salon, any type of enclosed space.
I miss me. Please help. :cry:

Hi, Arabprincess2011! Did you ever have therapy or meds for anxiety? It must be really though to go through this, especially since your family isn't loving/supportive. Please come here to vent, talk about what you're going through or how you're feeling. You will get your life back, you're a young person and you have your whole future ahead of you.
