Thanks guys, I really appreciate the messages of support

Just to add to my intro, I forgot to put that I am also very anxious socially and this isolates me even more. I would also probably say that I am a shy introvert.

Hi Wendi, Thank you very much for the kind words. Hope you are doing well. Adam

Hi everyone, I'm Adam, 29 years old. I'm currently struggling with generalized anxiety which always results in me getting very depressed when I go through these very hard stages of my life. I had my first experiences with anxiety and panic in my early 20s. I got very ill at the time because I wasn't aware what I was going through and didn't know the coping mechanisms. I came through though, and whenever I feel better I always just push on and get on with things. When I feel ok I always think It'll never come back again and I always seem to forget just how bad the anxiety is when I do have it. I'm here because I don't have much support and I feel very lonely when I go through these stages. I come from a naturally anxious family and the people that I would like to talk to about what I feel I can't because they are going through similar things. After my dad passed away in my early 20s, My mother, sister and myself began having issues with anxiety and we can all make each other worse by worrying about each other! The main reason I started having problems again in a large part was because I was worrying about my mother. Thanks for reading. Adam
