Coming Out About My Anxiety - My first Social Media Post
Coming to terms with my anxiety and panic disorder and the start of my recovery journey.
A few years ago, my life came to a complete halt. I went from being a confident, successful, and outgoing person to a complete wreck, scared of my own shadow and unable to leave the house with crippling anxiety and panic dissorder.
This blog began as part of my recovery. I started sharing what I was going through with close friends and family on social media, and I was overwhelmed by how many people had experienced their own battles with anxiety and panic attacks.
At the time, I wasn’t well enough to help anyone else, but I kept sharing my journey, the struggles and victories. Now, as I continue to rebuild my life, I want to use what I’ve learned in my recovery to help others find hope, healing, and a way forward.
The following blogs detail my journey from my first panic attack to being diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorder and my journey to recovery.
When first diagnosed with anxiety I felt so lost and confused which made my suffering worse, I hope through blogging I'm able to share the lessons I've learnt along the way so that others can learn to recover too and know they are not alone.


My first visit to a football ground since having panic attacks and anxiety. A big step in my recovery

One year ago today I came out of hospital diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorder. It's been a long hard road to recovery but I'm making in roads

If a picture can tell a story, this one certainly does. On the right, I was about a month away from my first panic attack, which set me on a path that would change everything. At the time, I had no idea just how much stress I was carrying, and I didn’t have the tools to cope with it.

Today I was a nervous wreck, I woke up shaking with nerves. Yesterday I had another anxiety attack out of the blue I went dizzy and felt like I was going to fall over. I’m trying not to let it but it sends me into a downward spiral.
