hi. im new to the site today. well done for being so positive and accepting you struggle with anxiety. it makes it so much worse when you deny you have a problem. :)

I feel so stupid now.i have worried my self to much.thinking i have all these diseases when its been anxiety all along.the feeling of not been me and like its all a dream was/is horrible.it has so many physical effects too.it started with a massive panic attack and from there turned into hell.I have bad days and i log on here and within a few minutes i tell myself u will be fine and it passes.I want to give as much help and advise as i can to people. its a horrible thing to deal with and when not many people understand and they tell u to just snap out of it.:)
