Hey Guys, I just joined the website today.  Ive suffered from general anxiety disorder and Panic disorder since i was 9 and today i am 18.  For about a few years i  hadn't had a major episode of panic but recently ive had to have 3 emergancy room visits in a short amount of time.  I'm in college not at home and i am just having a tough time.  I just broke up with my girlfriend and best friend and am just extremely vunerable.  I've become locked in room essentially, I've lost around 15-20 lbs in 6 weeks. im just so afraid. I can't sleep.  I have chest pains, i feel lightheaded, i have like a lump in my throat, and i just feel worried all the time.  I just started prozac and have been on for like 18 days and haven't seen any improvements.  I am depressed now and i just came here to find a community and some help. I really appreciate just being able to be here.

Hello there, welcome to the site

Glad you found us. I know you will find plenty of information and support here.
Lots of people going through similar things here.

Give the prozac a bit more time to get to working

There is plenty to do around the forum as well as a great chat room (once you have 3 posts, and is for 18's and over only)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I look forward to seeing you around the site :-)
