About Me
Hi, my names Adam, i'm from Dudley, West Midlands in the UK. I have a very bad stammer and find it very hard talking to people. Ever since i was about 12-13 i've suffered from bad panic attacks and depression. Also Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and shyness. It all started when i attended secondary school and i left when i was about 13 because of bullying, i have'nt really been the same since. Find it very hard goin out and meeting ppl because of my stammer.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionStarted when i was about 13 when i left secondary school because of bullying. I have a bad stammer, find it difficult talking to people. Started drinking heavily when i was about 16 which did'nt help at all but i've recently stopped and not had a drink for 5 months. Suffer with really bad panic attacks and depression, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Dont go out alot, have no friends. I thought if i stopped drinking i would feel normal but i'm still feeling very low.
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- didnt work really but i was drinking alot on them
- Lexapro Not Working
- Been taking them for 5 months now without drinking, and they are not working at all.
- Paxil Somewhat Helpful
- Been talking this for almost a year, i think it's the best 1 for me.
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- first ones i took when i was about 14/15 had terrible panic attacks to start off with, like tight throat, helped a little after the side effects
Close Anxiety
I've always been abit shy and nervous. I get real bad panic attacks feels like im going mad, losing control. Get nervous and panicy sometimes when im out incase i have to talk to people because of my stammer. Start worrying about things, even the slightest thing then it turns out into a full blown panic attack, like a tight throat, like im choking.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- calms me down a little
- Lexapro Not Working
- been on these for 4-5 years but was drinking on them most of the time, the last 5 months they havent worked even though ive quit drinking
- Valium Working / Worked
- the only thing that takes the edge off
Open Stuttering
Ever since i could talk i've had a stammer it wasnt so bad when i went to primary school i managed with it but it got worse as i got older and it's at its worse now. Its a major problem for me, i have no confidence what so ever and it gets me down.
Treatments
- Speech Therapy Not Working
- I went up until i was about 12 but it didnt really work.
Open Shyness
I guess ive always been shy ever since i was a child, but my stammer doesnt help, i avoid talking to people because of it and get nervous and panicy when i have to talk to people.
Open Alcoholism
I started drinking when i was 14-15, carried on drinking heavily until a couple of years ago, used to drink every night on my own. I try and stay away from it now but once i drink i can't stop, makes me feel horrible, takes ages for me to recover. Keep having strong urges to drink
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- Horrible to go through but works.
- Willpower Somewhat Helpful
- Hard because i sometimes have a strong urge to drink
