I am Amanda and I am new here.

I am 26 years old and a single mother of a 6 year old little boy.

I am a full time college student working towards a teaching degree.

I work part time 30 hours a week at a bank and on occasion as much as 10 hours a week in a retail store(although the last I worked there was just before the holidays)

Although I do not have a diagnosis as of this moment it seems I am either suffering from anxiety or depression or a mix of both.

Stress, and high stress times seem to add to the symptoms I've been experiencing for many years but often wrote off. I started having Panic attacks when I was 18 years old. I have since then learned to mostly control the attacks as they are coming on but they still take a toll.

I am hoping that the forums here will be helpful as I try to figure out exactly what is going on.

 

Hey..

I haven't posted on the A/P forum in awhile, I'm mostly in the Ulcerative Colitis section or the depression forum. My name is Edie, like the ice cream, and I'm 22 (turning 23 in a few months!) and currently living in Iowa with my boyfriend of 3 years. I grew up in Florida though and we're actually going to be moving back there in a month or two which I am SO happy about. But at the same time, I'm really nervous about having to start a new job and meet new people all over again. I'm so bad at that.
I've had social anxiety for as long as I can remember... Even in elementary school I was terrible at making friends and I would sit by myself during lunch and recess and crochet blankets for my dolls! Haha. I'm working on getting over my fears and sometimes I do okay and then I end up back to where I started.

I've recently started studying Tibetan Buddhism and it's the greatest thing and I can't wait to get back to Florida because they have a Buddhist temple/learning center very close to where we will be moving and I am really interested in checking that out, because I know the people there will be very warm and welcoming. I also practice yoga and am teaching myself how to knit and also teaching myself Spanish! So I've been pretty busy lately. Keeps my mind of my anxieties.

I'm really glad to see that there are so many new people joining all the time, HealingWell is such a wonderful place and has helped me so much so I can only hope it does the same for all of you.
