I'm 24, I have depression, social anxiety and panic attacks. I see a psychiatrist regularly and I'm on medication.
I seem to be scared of everything these days, of being alone, of being with lots of people, of the dark, of dogs, birds, mice, anything that flies, wind, travelling in cars, going out the flat by myself........
I just seem to have this constant level of anxiety with peaks every now and again, but it never seems to go below the anxiety level, I can't relax and feel calm. I'm constantly worried about what people think of me, or how I'm going to make a fool of myself by saying something stupid, and then on top of that I get these peaks of fear when I'm by myself, when I'm in a noisy environment etc etc etc......
I hate being like this. I wasn't always this bad. How can I get rid of all the anxiety? I've tried doing relaxation exercises and yoga, but I can't stop my mind from going round and round in circles.
