Although I had family members who had mental health issues, I did not appreciate how painful they could be until my relatively mild depressions turned to severe anxiety.

I had my first panic attack in my mid-thirties, when I was on an airplane. I didn’t know what was happening, I couldn’t figure out why I was so terrified and couldn’t comfort myself.

I always loved flying. I thought everyone who had anxiety issues simply needed to do some yoga and exercise and get good sleep and eat better.But I had panic attacks repeatedly, and became so anxious I could hardly leave the house even when I was doing yoga, and exercising, and getting sleep and eating well.

Panic Attacks – Jo’s Story
My everyday life is fairly ordinary. I work as a temporary lecturer and am also a freelance trainer, teaching a variety of subjects to adults in college and at business premises.  I have been doing this for less than a year, and it is quite fun in contrast to the heavy workload I had previously as a college manager.   I travel to and from work on the London Underground and packed buses, and in previous roles I spent most of my week travelling to and fro across London on visits to businesses, taking speeding lifts to offices in buildings I had never visited before.

After losing my best friend to cancer and my partner at the time leaving me weeks after having out daughter, I thought I was coping really well, and then one day I was in town with a friend and we were standing in a queue at the bank and we were chatting away and suddenly everything went hazy.

Mark’s Story – Panic and Anxiety
I’ve been motivated to write this to do my bit to try to tackle the stigma attached to mental health problems and to encourage people who are going through a tough time. Part of me is uncomfortable writing about something so personal but I feel it could help change people’s attitudes and help people who are struggling to realise that they’re not alone. I’m a completely normal, happy and successful person who has been through some very dark, difficult times and come out the other side a stronger, more rounded person. Here’s my story…

Karen’s Anxiety Story
I was in my early 20’s when I started getting anxiety, although I had some issues as a kid. At the age of 3 I had alopecia, I wouldn’t sleep, and drove my parents round the bend, I was put on barbiturates, I also had an imaginary friend, and wet the bed. I always felt like I had to protect my parents from certain things, that happened in my life, even when I was wee. I was always scared of being abandoned too, I hated when they went out, I wouldn’t sleep till they came home.

Mary’s Story
I was born in 1937. My mother had extreme post-natal depression and was sent to a mental health hospital, which many people considered shameful in those days. Until I was 11, I was brought up by my grandmother and aunt and was just told that my mother had been ill. I had an older brother who lived with my father (grandmother’s son) and mother. My father often came to see me and gave me much love, as did my grandmother and aunt.

I’m Karen and I have a phobia of toilets. There, I said it, I’m out. For some reason, unknown to me, I think the toilet is going to get me, or the pipes will burst, or that it will flush whilst I’m using it. I know none of that will happen, but it terrifies me every day. It’s the subject of much amusement among friends and family, but to me, it’s not funny, it’s simply terrifying.

Living with Social Anxiety: My Story
I have lived with my anxiety disorder for most of my life, but it really started at aged 15, when I was so acutely anxious I had to take six weeks off school during my GCSE year. I was suffering from an agitated depression, an episode that left me reeling. I was so young and so unwell. It was partly triggered by stressful life events but what I didn’t know at that time was that my anxiety and depression was part of a wider illness- bipolar disorder.

Jo’s Story – Washing my hands AGAIN!
12 months ago I was stuck in what I can only describe as hell. It wasn’t always like that, I was ‘normal’ once. Though I guess I had always been a clean person, but not manic as I became after my Dad died. You may think washing your hands is just part of life, like brushing your teeth or going to bed at night. But not for me!! Washing my hands became my life! My whole existence was concentrated on washing my hands.
