Hi! New Here :)

Hi everyone! I’m Angel, I’m 20 years old. I’ve had anxiety since March of 2017, or probably before that, but that’s when I found out about it. I’ve been in therapy since then. My family doesn’t believe that mental illness is a real thing, so they’re under the impression that I stopped going to therapy in 2018 which isn’t true.
Throughout these past three years I’ve had lots of problems including symptoms of OCD, without it being severe enough to amount to a diagnosis because we worked really hard on it in therapy when it first started happening. I was diagnosed with depression as well, but I think it was seasonal because it went away on its own when we got to the brighter days of the year. My anxiety extends to generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and hypochondria. I also have an irrational fear that most people are going to kill me. I’m not paranoid though, by definition.

I love giving advice, so if anyone needs ANYTHING, that’s what I’m here for! Thanks for reading!!!

Your family are lucky people. Mental illnesses are are real as the shoes on our feet. Mental illnesses are as real as the breath of all human life. I suffer with mental health issues from time to time. You have to work on communication with your family, its important that they support you. If family are not supporting you, who can.

Lots of people! My parents caused most of my trauma, I will never have their support and I’ve come to terms with that. It’s not my thing to work on when my efforts have been fruitless, they have to want it too and they don’t. That’s what friends are for
