Hello everyone!
My names Liam, my story is pretty complicated to say the least.
My problems started just over three years ago now. On new years eve 2011, I decided it would be 'cool' to get a little more intoxicated than everyone else. Which is where my anxiety first started, I thought everyone was laughing at me and I also thought I looked weird. This is where I developed my Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia and Body Dysmorphia Disorder woooo.
I had to leave school and be home tutored because of this and consequently lost all of my freinds.
I did well on my own for the next couple of years until November 2013, where I started to get the feeling something wasn't right, I went to have multiple blood tests which all came back normal, I had also had an eye exam a year before. I then became obsessed with one illness, which caused me to get incredibly depressed, cry constantly and just generally be super ill. This is when my Hypochondria, OCD and Depression started.
In December just before Christmas day I got put on Sertraline (SSRI) and I've felt pretty up and down since. I recently upped my dose though and things have gone downhill. Which is why I've decided to reach out to people again, I don't like feeling suicidal.
I am on another forum 'No More Panic' but it's users are mostly older people so I thought I'd give this a go.
Sorry for the long intro and I look forward to talking to everyone :)
