Hi, I am new to this site, but I happened to read your post. I am 22 and have been battling anxiety for some 5 years now. I have tried talking to professionals and I've tried just about every medicine. It is basically the worst feeling ever. Those that haven't experienced anxiety don't know what it really feels like and how bad it really is. I have basically learned to live with it, but I don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes I feel like crawling in a hole. It seems like everyone I meet is "normal". I used to be very outgoing and now I am very shy and reserved. A lot more peolpe I meet though seem to have similar conditions, so it makes me feel a little better. There are thousands of people who suffer on a daily basis, but it does feel like your the only one. If you ever need to talk to anyone, I am here to listen
