hi. this is a bit of a long one...but please bare with me!! :blush:
I suppose this is really aimed at anyone new on here. i have been here many time over the the past couple of years and afraid to say ive been using it wrong and have been selfish. I mostly sign on to post about symptoms ..looking for reassurance that im not dying or that my feeling are normal. instead of talking about the anxiety im experiencing because of my symptoms. which would be the correct thing to do. I have to be honest and admit that i have never really read anything highlighted in red on this site...the stuff that helps. Maybe its just me but i know some people panic and just want answers...like i did. and basically i was too afraid to talk about anxiety and panic for fear of making it worse. i over came a lot after my bad time of 2010 and didnt wanna go back. i wouldnt even let people say the 'A' word and 'P' word!! lol. how stupid i was to fear it and not just go with it knowing with full confidence it DOES PASS and WILL if you let it. i read about doctor google! OMG its me all over and i read a thread about what to do now...then the reminder about coming here to get diagnosis! i know realize you should never be afraid of something that is part of you and never be afraid to talk about it. Most importantly speaking to others abotu what they experience with anxiety is such help. I cried reading about people stories similar to mine ive felt so so so alone! god this is long winded and i ramble a lot but i really jsut wanted to post for new people who may make the same mistake i have been, call me silly but if id read more and not just posted how scared i was all the time i may have got through 'moments' a lot quicker!
Thanks for reading.
