new to the site...think I'll stay for a bit

[chevychaser]

HI...I'm a 29 yr old female. Had chronic health anxiety for 6-7 years now. Have been thinking a little too much on the dark side lately. I guess I'm just tired of fighting it and concentrating all day just to keep my train of thought ok. I am sick of trying the whole..be positive, relax, train yourself thing...it's always just temporary releif. I've soooo had it with being terrified all the time. I'm about to loose my job and my relationship is suffering because of me and this........but I CAN say that finding this site and reading some stories of others just like me has been a little bit of releif. My family has distanced themselves because they don't understand and I'm just sooooo tired. OH..and it's my 30th tonight..everyones coming and I've gone and sabotaged it by finding a small lump in my throat...Don't worry...I've had myself dead and buried already. Well I suppose I just needed to get that off my chest..Thanks for reading my jibberish. Hope you get it a bit. I hope each day lessens the fear for us all just a bit.

Hi
I'm new here too. I know just what you mean about family not understanding. My family just laughs when they hear me talk about having symptoms of some disease. It sure doesn't help. I hope you are able to find support and peace of mind.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Thanks to all those who took the time to reply my posting...you know who you are....and to MEG. You asked what help I've had. Just the norm I suppose....counselling, St Johns Wort, literature etc. Finding this site has been the best medicine yet and I have a great GP who has really gone out of his way to try and help me with this. My party was a lot of laughs and it rained but I didn't mind. Thanks again to all.

hiya

good to know you are not alone with this horrible fear isnt it

hope we can all be there for you

try your hardest not to discuss how you feel with loved ones. i generally leave them alone because they simply are never gonna understand. so use us to off load your fears, hopes and panics, i definitely finds this works better for me anyway

u will get lots of support here
