Do you feel like life is passing you by?

Do you feel like that life is passing you by and it seems that you haven't really move an inch.

My brother is 26 and his an engineer. He has establish his life and his moving up in this world. He has many friends and a girl friend.

I am 24 I don't have nothing. When I mean I don't have nothing I mean it. I was smarter than my brother when I was a kid. My parent really had high hope for me they thought that I could be come anything I want to be. I for a while thought the same way school was easy. I love to learn, but when my SA hit me. School turn out to be one place that I didn't want to be. My anxiety was so extreme that I couldn't really concentrate. I had to drop out couldn't really stand it at that time. It was one of the most difficult thing that I had to do. I love to learn and I had great ambition.

I realized one thing that I shouldn't compare myself to other my brother doesn't have SA who could stop him. I had SA it crippled me, but it didn't break me. Anyway after looking at my life at the age of 23. I realized men I been living my life with fear of anxiety and worry that I actually forgot to live. I can look at my live and honestly it just a big dream. Anyway, I am in school now I will be finishing soon . Its funny when I look back now if I could redo the past l would learn even with the anxiety. I got big dreams I won't live school with out my PH.D.

I hope you all wake up and realized. SA might be hard , but is it really worth sacrificing your future and ambition for your fear. Trust me you own your mind its yours take it back

yes and it sucks. I'm 21 and wasted the last years of my life achieving absolutely nothing. I've tried 3 different studies but none of them worked out, and right now I'm slowly flunking the fourth because I can hardly go to school anymore since I have no friends there anyway.

it really does seem everyone is growing up while we with SA are wasting away on our own.

I think this is really important - to continue doing whatever you want REGARDLESS of your anxiety problems. There will be problems our whole lives, we can't wait until we are all better to start doing things.

I've had SA my whole life but I didn't even realize until freshmen year in high school, and then I forgot about it my senior year when I finally had friends. But now I'm a freshmen again, this time in college, and its all flooding back to me. It really prevents so much. Social networking is the basis for everything!

There are so many people around me making close friends, including my ex girlfriend who is at the same college, and every time I look at her facebook and see that she's gone here or there with all her friends it depresses me to no end.

So yes, I feel exactly the same way as you.
