Hi, I'm so excited to finally join a forum like this! I'm Gabby, and I found this website through googling symptoms during my paranoia episodes, hahaha! I found a lot of the reassuring comments people make on posts very helpful, so I thought I might join up.
I have mild social anxiety, a whopping case of health anxiety, aaaand a specific phobia of eating, thanks to potentially fatal food allergies. I'm seeing a therapist, but I'm frightened of medications, thanks to the aforementioned allergies. I feel a lot of general anxiety thanks to my situation at home doesn't help, since it's not the most healthy and supportive of environments. University's adding a bit of extra stress, though it's a necessary evil, since it's my ticket out of here and into a well paying job. (I'm studying psychology, funnily enough!)
But anyway, I hope that I can overcome all this anxiety stuff and actually live as a functioning human being! :yesyes:
