hi everyone. my name is Erin, and i am 23-years old. i have been suffering from
anxiety attacks for 10 years now. recently they got so bad that i refused to
leave my house, quit my long time job and developed a severe depression. i am
the single mother of a 21-month old, and i was terrified of not being able to
take care of her. my anxiety attacks had become so severe that i could no longer
do ANYTHING without having one. i was convinced that i was going crazy and had
no control over myself or my actions.
so a few weeks ago, i went to my local community health center and began to see
a therapist who charges a fee based on my income. i began taking Effexor XR and
slowly getting out of my house. i talk to God alot and rely on my friends and
family when i need a good cry. i am happy to say that i am getting much better.
thank you to everyone here for being there for me too.
