Hi Everyone!
My name is Gina, I'm in my twenties and I've had panic attacks since I was about 12, and social anxiety which came on a few years later. I've had a bit of counselling but I've mostly managed my attacks by researching my condition and avoiding things that terrify me but also challenging myself to do things that I find a bit scary so that I can gradually build my confidence. This has proved successful so far, along with making sure I get enough vitamins by taking supplements, making sure I get enough exercise and making time to socialize in a safe environment so that I feel I have achieved something without scarring myself for life!
Nice to meet you all and I'll hopefully chat with some of you after 5 days :-) x
