Default So happy to have found this forum!

Hi Guys,

A big hello from me here in the UK!

I am so happy to have found this forum, I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember. I have been using a few other forums recently but they all are general forums with a few posts on self confidence etc, to have found a forum dedicated to Social Anxiety is fantastic!

I am 32 now and I have decided that I really need to get my anxiety under control, it has held me back for far too long. I am doing a lot of reading and research into various techniques that I can use to help and hope that this forum will help me on my journey too.

All the best,

Lou

Welcome, it's sad that so many of us have had to suffer this for so long, but we will persevere against it sooner or later.
