Hi All
Am 25 years old, never had any issues in previous years but all of a sudden out of the blue last year I had a panic attack and since then everything went downhill. Am now having counselling sessions and on anti depressants which have both worked out positively but still have some really bad days. Hence how I have ended up here!
Relationship problems with the mother of my little boy I think initiated it all. As well as the pressures of being a father/trying to achieve something my dad couldn't.
My little boy seems to be the main thing that makes me happy but not being able to be 'myself' is killing me when wanting to spend time with him etc. I have a great job, great prospects etc, just not enjoying life how it should be I don't think. So just looking/accessing this for some support but I hope also to give others hope as my situation has improved dramatically over the last 3 months. I have been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and Depression but as mentioned this has improved drastically recently, but not 100% so hope to give and receive some good tips from everyone on this forum.
All the best
Matt
