Turned 29 at the end of June.

Have always been a worrier...my dad is, too, so I suppose I get it from him. My Nana also had episodes with HA/mental health issues in her late 20s/early thirties.

Seems that I've had a harder time with this in the past few months than ever - got my Masters in elementary ed last year, but can't get a full-time classroom job at all. Have to work as an aide, which I don't love. Still live at home with mom and dad because rent in the Boston area is ridiculous. Can't find a nice guy to date. Hard time finding people my age to hang out with.

Someone mentioned a quarter-life crisis...didn't have one when I was in my early 20s. Think I'm in the middle of one now...either that, or trying to ignore the fact that I'm almost 30!  :sprachlos020:

I'm 24.

I've herd that the statistic for anxiety was like 18 - 30 people starting college or in college and people who work stressful jobs.

Im 19 been in my peek for 2 years just got medication for it ive had enough. I have always been emetophobic AALLLL my life  but now it has developed into many other phobias and anxieties. I canot pinpoint what caused my anxiety to peek but it was a couple of months after i had gotten together with my boyfriend who i had been totally in love with since i met him 3 years before hand. I used to be a very secretive hidden person and emotionally cold and hard as nails... i believe whats possibly is that after we got together the wall came down and as i became more emotionally attatched to him and then others i began expressing my self openly and letting in the good... then the bad.. i dono thats just my theory

I just turned 26 last week. I had a breakdown, thinking about how I haven't accomplished much in my life because of fear, and was THISCLOSE to going to the psychiatric ward. Luckily my mom came to be with me!

When I was a kid, I had separation anxiety. It lasted until I was about 12. I was always so scared when my parents left me. I remember being in first grade and mom was late to pick me up. My first thought was that she died. I don't know why I was so scared of death so young!
 
As I got older, my anxiety started turning into HEALTH anxiety. Oh JOY! Since I was around 14 or so, I've been suffering with that monster since! :D I don't have my degree and I swear I could be a doctor sometimes! My friends always call me when they need reassurance over their symptoms. Of course, I have no problem giving love, reassurance and hope to anyone else. It's only myself that is not rational!

I am going to start coherence therapy on Tuesday. I need to stop doing this to myself. I have goals and dreams. I am sick of living life in fear. I admit, I'm a LOT better, thanks to being part of a health anxiety forum for years. However, I am starting to have more generalized anxiety nowadays. I hate waking up feeling panicky for no reason.

I'm 19 years old. I've had several causes to my anxiety. I've been a psych major in college mainly to learn why. From what i know about my anxiety is it is social anxiety that is cause by a handful of bad events. Mainly from bad parenting to a handful of bad social situations. In these social situations, usually i was the laughing stock. When i say laughing stock i mean the type of situation that alot of people here would be affraid of. I would be singled out and ridiculed by a group of ignorant fools. They would make fun of me and use the most miniscule examples (i.e. "He puts his hands in his pockets. He's a fag") The thing is when this was happening in my earlier years, It would be a class of 31 kids vs. me. I never won. The thing is if you are told never to stand up for yourself, you start to believe what your peers say. My anxiety is socially based because everywhere i go, I expect the worst social situation to occur.

I agree with you about that, i never had anxiety until i was with my boyfriend.
also i believe its to do with my dog and cat dying...

How ironic to be scared of death, when what you are living is a form of just that.

hmm... well I started having severe panic attacks when I was about 11 I think they were once every few months for a couple years... now they're every few years with little ones every now and then. Last major one was a few months ago- I should be good for a while now  :winking0008: However the last several months have been a wreck- my hubby was injured at work and we're STILL waiting for workman's comp, I'm coming off a no-working period because I just had a baby. He is working at $8.50 an hour but thanks to the failing job market we're both having bad luck job hunting. We both come from working class families so our folks are suffering too but still helping us when they can God bless them!!! I could go on. :P So this is the worst time for general anxietyfor me but I haven't had any more attacks then usual.

Been going through this for four years. Started right after my mom dies but this past year has been the worst. Not sure if it is because two more people I know have died. I am 35

I don't think people are meant to be by themselves.That's why if you actually find someone you care about, it's important to let go of the little things. Even if you can't let go all the way. Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone, no matter how many people are around.
