I'm 17 and I have had social anxiety for about a year now and the first full blown panic attack I had was in an exam where I couldn't escape, of all places this really was a bad one.
The past year really has been a struggle, I dropped out of six form not only because I had to the work which was hard enough but trying to fight your anxiety every single lesson really just pushed me over the edge.
I have learnt to deal with my anxiety a lot better from what I was straight after my first attack but there are still days when you just want to give up and wish away this horrible disorder.
Anyway, thats enough about me and my experience. Below is a picture of me, please be kind :
: (Its a really crap quality picture but the best I could do at this time)
