Georgia Williamsons story; Im 19 and Ive suffered from anxiety and terrible panic attacks since I was 14. Gradually they started getting worse and the anxiety I was experiencing became uncontrollable. I managed to stick it out at school then spent my first year at college until one day I decided I didnt feel strong enough to go back to college. Slowly but surely places I used to enjoy going became places I feared. I stopped leaving my home, but not just my home, my bedroom too. I was only 16 when this started. After seeking help from my doctor he diagnosed me with agoraphobia. A fear out outdoor places. I literally because isolated in my bedroom. No friends no social life no normality. Im now 19 and have a counsellor an amazing boyfriend and such understanding parents and family. Things arent easy. But I believe that things cant stay bad forever! I take each day as it comes, I always think to myself, Im one of the lucky ones. Things could be a lot worse. I love this page it helps me so much! Realising Im not alone in the journey ahead. x
