“When I first started struggling with anxiety and panic attacks at 14 I was too scared to tell anyone. I was alone and isolated. I ended up using Childline’s online service and they helped me figure out what to do. I decided to write about how I was feeling which I gave to my mentor in school. She explained that she couldn't keep what I'd said to herself but supported me through the whole process and continues to be really supportive.

"I was finally going to get support which was terrifying, but a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Having that conversation is so important. Choose someone who you can talk to and trust and find a way of communicating that works for you.”
