For years i have been suffering with anxiety specifically GAD for years now. I used to throw up in pubs constantly. Would never go out on a date because I would feel trapped, where as if I am on my own am I free to sneak off and go home at any point. I panic when there is nothing to panic about. But with all that I was happy as can be when the anxiety wasn’t attacking. But now I have been suffering so long I have lost my mind, I have no idea whats going on in my head, I could just scream for no apparent reason. I failed suicide 6 years ago and I’m on the brink of trying for a second time. I wont have a partner, go on dates, go to a restaurant etc. On top of all this I was born with Silver Russells syndrome so have always hated how I am, alwats been an outcast of society so not sure if the syndrome is linked to my anxiety. It doesn’t help that my job is so mind numbing, have way too much time to think which doesn’t help my disorder.

Have you talked to someone about this? Therapy can help. Talking to someone may be the relief you need.
Thanks guys. yeah i’m currently on the waiting list for counselling. Its been months already not sure how long the list is.
You’re not an outcast, first of all. I hope people don’t treat you that way. I would never treat you that way. I also suffer from GAD, and although I don’t have Silver Russell syndrome, I have suffered from Body Dysmorphic Disorder for a long time. People say that I am good-looking, but I look in the mirror and often see what I think is ugly. It causes me a lot of anxiety. I agree with Will above that seeking professional help is the first step. I won’t give you a long list of platitudes, cause I hate that. I will just say hang in there, you’re not alone.
