I have suffered with depression (on and off) for about 22 years Over the last 10 years my panic attacks have become so extreme I have not left my house, on my own, for about 4 years and sometimes don't leave the house for weeks at a time. I think depression and panic attacks are not talked about openly and that needs to change.It is my hope, that by talking about my own daily struggles with them, that people will begin to discuss these subjects, and realise just how debilitating they can be.
