Campaign: | To encourage people with social anxiety disorder to seek help |
I’ve experienced social anxiety and at times, I’d say it’s changed me as a person.
I had a panic attack in a crowd and then became scared to be around people, so I’d avoid them.
Although I’m now on the road to recovery, it took me time to open up and get help because I was worried people would judge me.
But bottling up my feelings only made the situation worse.
With Fixers, I want to show others that there is help available.
If I can encourage more people to talk about their experiences, I hope they’ll be able to seek the support they need.

My Fixers project was supported by the Cabinet Office’s Youth Social Action Fund.
As part of the Cabinet Office initiative ‘Step Up to Serve’, which is spearheaded by HRH the Prince of Wales, Fixers is working in partnership with the Youth Social Action Fund (YSAF) to offer the Fixer experience specifically to young people aged between 16 and 20 in Birmingham and parts of Kent.
