Hello,
Ok so lately something has been playing on my mind quite a lot, I have health anxiety quite badly I think about being ill a lot of the time and if I have any "symptoms" I immediately assume the worst, Like a lot of us do I should imagine.
The thing is at the moment I do not have much of a life, I don't work, I don't have any friends and I stay in nearly all the time, I always feel that if I had a better social and work life I wouldn't think about anxiety and panic as much. I know this because I was virtually free from from it all for years when I had an active busy life, I used to have an occasional bad bad panic attack but I could deal with it because it wasnt often and I was usually so busy i didnt have time to panic.
I wanted to know how many people who have panic and anxiety have full and active lives and are happy apart from the anxiety or do a lot of people feel that there lives could be better and they are not entirely happy. I just wanted to see if there is some sort of connection between feeling happy/unhappy and anxiety.
Thanks
