Hi,
At the age of 14, I had an Allergic Reaction, which caused Anxiety. I kept having Panic Attacks and Anxiety about the Allergic Reaction -and if the Allergic Reaction will come back again (because i was quite scared from the allergic reaction, becasue i had fingers swelling up, wheezing, rash, problems breathing, feet swelling up, and had to be taken to hospital by Ambulance because i could not breathe.) [ALL OF THOSE SYMPTOMS WERE FROM THE ALLERGIC REACTION]

I had Anxiety for about a month, before being put on Zoloft (25mg a day) for 8 Months. I have now stopped taking Zoloft, and i am a lot better. I do not have anymore Panic attacks or Anxiety.
I am now 20, and interested in becoming a Police Officer.

Will I be accepted in the NSW Police Force, despite having a history of Anxiety?
 
yes but do not say a thing, if this is what u want do not say anything or make it a minor issue, you want a job that is a career and beyond, just keep strong everyone goes through this u were strong enought to face it which just may make u a better canidate.
