Never have been very good at the "introducing yourself" part. I have lots to say, but fall short when it comes to this sort of thing LOL.
So here goes, I am Sam, 34 years old, married and have three wonderful children. Have suffered from anxiety for many, many years, but finally realised it was not GAD, but Health Anxiety.
I drive myself and my husband MAD. I never thought it would be possible to "do your own head in" but it sure is :)
I am also guilty of turning to Google for answers, not because I WANT to hear bad things, but in the hopes that it would offer reassurance, as we all know thats not the case and it ALWAYS makes me feel worse. I try hard to steer clear of it, but low and behold find myself back on it being very choice with the words in the search bar, but still end up finding all sorts of terrible things.
I am a definate Cancer phobic! Funny thing is that I can rationalise with any other person except myself.
I found this site purely by accident, whilst googling things I shouldnt be doing, and boy am I glad to have found it.
I hope to be of help or reassurance to others as I am sure they will be to me, and also meeting a few other likeminded people with HA.
