Introducing myself to the forum

[calunacampbell]

Hi

I am brand new to this forum. i have been suffering from anxiety since January this year, with suffering two major anxiety attacks.
I was prescribed 2mg of diazepan which helped me alot, but I only did have to take one a day for 3 days. i then felt as if my anxiety was subsiding until I took another attack in Feburary. I had to take two 2mg of diazepan to ease the anxiety, plus I had a 8 hour ferry journey to endure the next morning.
I can now connect my anxiety to those I have been trying to help over the years. I convinced myself I was riddled with cancer as my grandfather died, plus I have been helping my neighbour who has terminal cancer for nearly a year.
I recently went away to to visit my father who does not seem to be well, which convinced me I was ill. I went a way with the family for a few days, but I spent most of the trip convincing myself I was ill.
I do not take any medication and I try to work through it, but I am trying to rush things in order for me to get back to normal.
