Assorted Anxiety Disorders

I am an adult in my early forties or maybe not. My age really doesn’t matter and for that matter my real name neither. However what really matters is my story and the countless other stories of other people who suffer from anxiety disorders and depression. Ever since I was a kid I have suffered from assorted anxiety disorders. Even though I have not been officially diagnosed by a psychiatrist I have had signs and symptoms of various mental maladies such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, stuttering and depression. Depending on the period of my life I suffered from one or more of the above symptoms.

Throughout my life I had good times and bad times but it’s always been a struggle just to feel normal like everyone else and not be obsessed with negative thoughts and fear. Ironically enough I have considered going to the doctor many times before but was too nervous to follow through with. However due recent events in my life such as caring for sick loved ones and career advancement I’ve decided to see a doctor. Between caring for loved ones with cancer and making important future life decisions and having to learn how to drive, I decided it was time to try some medication.

I plan to update this blog whenever I have something appropriate or significant enough to mention. Ultimately my goal is simple enough, to express myself and to help others with anxiety disorders. Remember it does not matter how old you are or what your circumstances are there is help out there, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy.

What This Anxiety Blog Is About

As a side note I want to reinstate what this blog is all about. I want to make clear that this blog is not about any specific medication or even endorsement of any kind of medication therapy whatsoever. After rereading a few of my posts so far it seems like this blog is all about Lexapro which is not correct at all. This blog is about my experiences trying medication to improve my anxiety and stress levels on daily basis hopefully to reach a more normal life experience. This blog is also about my daily struggles with anxiety and stress hopefully to enlighten other people about the subject. It has nothing to do about suggesting to people to go out there and use any type of medication whatsoever.

Like I said before this is merely my experience dealing with my particular anxiety/stress and slight depression mental disorders. It is also about helping other people who are going through this as well, just like me. You can never have enough websites, blogs or general online information available to people who are suffering in order to let them know they’re not alone. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being alone in this world without any help of any kind.

Another goal of mine is hopefully maybe one day somebody will read this blog and then have a parent/uncle or friend and have them read this so they can understand what you were going through. If this blog can help anybody who is going through problems of their own or know someone who is and is help in any shape or manner then this blog has accomplished its main goal. Also keep in mind I’m not a professional writer or anything like that. I do my best to write as eloquently and correctly as I conceivably can and to state the facts as accurately as possible.
