Hey everyone

Hey everyone

Hi everyone I am new to the forum and I just wnted to say hi and share my story. I am in my mid 30's now and male and started getting panic attacks when I was late 16 due to some rejection by peers and bullying and other life stresses such as exams.

I originally didn't know what it was and tried coping for quite some years before I realized this wasn't going away and I needed more help so I reached out for help especially telling my family what I was going though and tried psychologists and got on the medication train. The current medication I am on has mostly worked but I seem to be having a down period right about now and am not coping very well possibly due to a bit of a life trouble as I am not very happy with the way some things have gone in my life.

However I've also done some great things that I am extremly happy with.
