I know exactly when my anxiety started. I was in Grade 4, so what is that? 10 years old or so? Right up until that time, I was rather extroverted and somewhat on the hyper side. Then a couple of incidents happened in class, and I started getting really shy....and that in turn led to anxiety....which has gotten worse and worse as the years go on.
As for depression, I'm not sure when that started. That may have been a teenage thing. But it is more pronounced when my anxiety levels are high.
And I'm now 42 years old, and only started meds when I was 38 years old. MANY years of suffering. I just didn't know I was suffering from anything that could be helped (maybe not cured, but HELPED) by anything medical. I was just ignorant of the whole mental health issues.
God bless,
Sandy
