Hi everyone,

I've been a sufferer of health anxiety for just over two years now, and recently started sharing my experiences for the first time in my blog. I've been on this website and many others over the past couple of years and hey really have been absolutely paramount to me maintaining my sanity - I realised I wasn't alone and helped me rationalise the endless list of symptoms and diseases I've diagnosed myself with.

I believe that a network of individuals with similar experiences in health anxiety can pull together to overcome it once and for all. My eventual aim is to set up a regular support group in the UK with the sole aim to meet likeminded people. Health anxiety is difficult to come to terms with at the best of times, but I believe that honest, open discussions are the best cure.

I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on creating such a network. Together, I really do believe we can get rid of health anxiety.
