Hello everyone,
I finally managed to figure out how to get here. This past couple of weeks have been hell for me and just wanted to vent.
I have struggled with high anxiety, OCD, hypochondria and depression most of my life. I've had panic attacks since I was six including all the other mental afflictions. I have never been officially diagnosed with these things (I did take mild anti-depressants in my younger years) because I was always worried about it going on my medical record.
But I know I have them and they've ruined my life. Preventing me from becoming a proper adult, having relationships, decent careers and opportunities. I still live with my parents (I am not young) have barely any savings, no friends, and a job I don't like.
All these things I have "managed" up to a point. But a past breakdown I had about 9 years ago relating to a specific issue has come to the forefront of my mind (it was always lingering in the depths since those years ago) and it made me realise there is nothing I can do to change this problem. I literally have to cope with it. It's filled me with so much dread that I really want out of here permanently.
It's very difficult for me since one of my first panic attacks was over the thought of being dead. But I'd rather not be here than live with these horrible feelings.
