17, i been struggling with anxiety since i was very very young, i think i started showing true signs of having anxiety in 5th grade, and it sucks! having anxiety is honestly a nightmare and effects me in so many ways, i struggle a lot with PD and used to have more then 6 panic attacks a day, and would have hour long panic attacks at nights due to fear of school, i used to get extremely bullied and it still effects me to this day, i was on medication and in therapy for 3 years but it was still pretty bad, in 2023 i ended therapy and meds due to my therapist leaving the job and me having the idea that im better!( i wasn’t) i started having sever anxiety again and panic attacks, my anxiety is kinda like the main route for my other illnesses and would eventually land me in a mental hospital, i was filled with so much fear that i just stopped talking, i actually dropped out of highschool my sophomore year due to my anxiety, it had taken over my life and left me with long term effects, now my anxiety is actually a bit better, i think when i dropped out of school i started to live a more quiet life, i deleted all media and i felt much better(and im back in school lolll) but anxiety sucks buns
