has anyone been like this since early childhood?
I grew up in a dysfunctional family and felt anxious from a very early age. Now that I don't live near them anymore and have been through Lucindas program and a CBT group I am doing sooo much better. I am still a work in progress but I religiously where a counter to keep my thoughts on the positive and it helps me a lot.

I have had anxiety, agoraphobia since I was a little kid. I'm now in my 30's and still suffering from it. There was a few years span in my 20's where it went away, I was self confident and barely ever got anxiety and if I did I could easily talk myself out of it. Lasted for a few years until my father passed away and then my mom passed away and my anxiety and agoraphobia are back now full force. I have seen a little improvement so far w/the program I just started session 2 today.
I also had anxiety and depression at a very young age.Mine started with my dad.Lets says, he was not the nicest dad in the world. I worked hard on it and i am at a better place in my life. That i would never thought i would feel in my lifetime.
thoughts are only thoughts.....they are not who you are in life.

I was also from a dysfuntional home and there was physical, mental and emotional abuse coupled with alcholism. I was shy, and annxious as a child. I can remember trying to concrntrate at school and not being able to. My mind would wonder all over the place. I use to get panic attacks before tests and had stomach problems in school that i didnt tell anyone about.
