Hey guys,
Very new to this forum, so far I have found it to be very useful so I have decided to stay and be a more active figure around the place.
My name is Sam, I'm 23 and have always had anxiety, only recently developed panic.
The basics:
- I've always been anxious (biting fingers, clicking joints, tapping tables)
- I've never realized what it was until recently
- Recently suffered panic attacks and massive health anxiety
- Panic attacks have subsided for now though health anxiety has continued
- Currently in the process of eliminating things to worry about and get back to a settled state
I currently meditate as much as I can, and I was a prolific cannabis user (which probably brought on these symptoms more than anything else).
I would like to introduce myself and get to know the key figures of this forum, and hopefully in the future, when symptoms have subsided, continue to play a role in easing other people's anxieties in a clear to understand way.
For me, being told you have anxiety and that you are fine is not enough. I have found my anxiety to be very particular, worrying about a specific thing and finding nothing on the internet to help with that fear. So my goal is to help as many people as I can and explain certain situation in a very specific manner without causing alarm.
Hopefully this should help me come to realize my own anxieties are just that, nothing to worry about.
I have suffered from depression in the past, and this has affected me in a much greater way, not to say others have had worse/better experiences with either, but with anxiety; you fear you are going to die. With depression; you couldn't really care either way if you do (or in some cases want it to happen).
Please feel free to message me for a chat or to find out more about me. I am still very much in the process of going through anxiety so don't think I am at the stage of helping yet, but hopefully with your help I will get there.
I would much rather spend my time helping others than killing time watching TV.
Thanks,
Sam
