I was 14, right after my grandmother died. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 18, because my parents always told me it was all in my head and to get over it....It'll be 8 yrs for me in April.

Well, I was always a sensitive child, but my anxiety REALLY started with certain things that happened to me after a particular move. That makes it early teens.

Am now gradually gaining control of myself, my life, and my anxiety, thanks to a wonderful, marvelous counsellor. I still get anxious sometimes, but not nearly as much or as often, and my threshold is growing, slowly.

Hugs,

Chris

I guess looking back now I would say that my anxiety really started in my early teens but, I officially did not get diagnosed until last year about this time.

I believe it was in Jr. High, 9th grade. So, teen years. Seems like forever ago!

Much luv and many hugs))))
