Hi,
Im looking for some guidance on anxiety. I've had anxiety all my life or for as long as I remember. I had a very abusive childhood but at 16 years old I ran away from home, changed my full name and never went back.
I am now 34 years old and the have felt anxious feelings every since I left home. I mostly feel it in the workplace and it is causing pain and distress. I find it difficult to speak up, talk in meetings, voice my opinions, speak to people in higher positions (feel it intimidated is a big part of thid). I use to think this was shyness but as I've got older I've learned it is anxiety.
I am currently starting out on a self improvement journey and am looking for a little guideance on where to start this process. I've always liked direction in my life and I find I'm looking for the same with my battle with anxiety. I'm looking for someone to say follow this this this and that and then I can formulate a plan. I like a plan to follow. So if theirs anyone one here who could help I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks
