I have a really bad memory of how old I was when certain things happened, but I'll try to estimate.
I was really anxious as a child, like from 4-13 or something. I had an insecure attachment to my Mom. I had horrible panic attacks.
Then the panic attacks stopped a while after I moved to Canada. I think I was 13.
I've always been socially anxious, so I guess I've had that my entire life.
Then when I was 18, I went insane. Now sure what caused it. My high school contacted my parents because I told the guidance counsellor I'd experimented with hanging myself. I was cutting myself and I got really paranoid. That was really scary, I thought everyone was against me. I was also super happy, then super depressed. I was obsessed with suicide methods.
Anyways, I've spent the last 6 years trying to fully recover from that episode. I'm mostly ok now, except for once in a while. Just my luck though, to go insane at such a crucial time in my life.
