"Help with my anxiety"

About: Newham Talking Therapies (NTT)

(as the patient),

I have always had panic attacks and anxiety in my life. In October, due to my stress at work I chose to do something for myself and get help. Some ghosts were there for really long time and I never accepted my sensibility. I mean, why me? I have been living in London for 4 years now by myself and I can't hide how much difficult were the past two years for me. I developed a lot of anxiety against the people, public transport and space and at work. Also, I am working in customer service and I am really sensitive with wrong attitude, shouting and complaint. Few times I got episode of panic at work because I was by my own. I was thinking to quit but I love to work with people.

Also, I love travel, I am a travel addict, I like discover new country, culture and lifestyle. I was so confused at that moment. Why me? I love theatre, jazz/blues music, dance, musical, drawing but I didn't have the power to use it to help me.

In that mess, I met my angel, Nadia,  and she saved me.  She helped me accept my condition, create a routine and give myself time.  I am now more open and trying to grow new hobbies.

I think that the most powerful challenge is accepting who you are, exactly with your weaknesses.
