Hi my name is Jon I am from Ireland I am 42 years old who suffers from Anxiety and depression so i am here amongst my fellow miners to talk about it.
It developed about 2 years ago when i was shopping by myself in a local supermarket where I felt kinda lightheaded and collapsed, I was ok as soon as i got air these series of dizzy spells continued so went to doctors and he said they were panic attacks. I am much better now since i got prescribed medication and found the love of my life he makes me so happy and I love him dearly. Anyway i was physically abused by my father at a young age used to pick on me and hit me for no reason also i was sexually abused by my head master at school so alot of this anxiety only coming out now in me but getting better. No matter what situation you have been in Mental health is amongst us all but hidden under the carpet my partner Stephen has helped me so much about talking about this we have helped each other as he has had a few issues in his life but everyday we grow stronger together so if anyone is feeling like this please message me or comment as would love to help others just like Stephen helped me this is my first story and feel great talking about it I am not ashamed I am only human. Love, Peace & Happiness.
