Little bit of background since I've never introduced myself here before.

Hi! I'm Zhaefari. I've been dealing with severe anxiety for over 8 years now. I can't work, going to my college classes is extremely difficult, and basically being a functioning adult is near impossible. I've been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and that was April, 2020. I get panic attacks consistently (on a good week, it's about once a week, and on a bad week it can be multiple times a day).

Well today I finally got sick of it and decided to set up an appointment with a mental health specialist! I'm really proud of myself and I wanted to share my excitement about it. The appointments are for May 2021 (thanks, corona), so until then I'm making a log of all of my panic attacks (dates, times, symptoms, what I was doing/thinking, etc.) to be able to show the doctor.

Thanks for listening!
