Hi guys,
I'm real new to forums, and I'm new to opening up about my anxiety issues. I say anxiety but I've never actually been 'diagnosed' as such. I've never seeked medical advice for anxiety alone, only when it's been brought up by my many visits to the doctors.
So I'm a worrier. I always have been for as long as I remember, I worry about everything from loosing friends to loosing my job, however over the past few years my primary worry is about my health. I've convinced myself I have a number of different illness's, all prompt by one symptom or another. I recently realised I need to get help as it's got to an all time low. I've been experiencing certain symptoms and i've become obsessed with thinking it's serious. It's all I think about, it's the first thing I think of when I wake up , the first words out of my mouth and I even dream that i've been diagnosed. I google my symptoms every chance I get, even at work. I don't feel myself, I always feel tired and lethargic, lack concentration and keep breaking down.
The difficult thing is I'm currently oversea's travelling, which means I'm never in one place for long so it's difficult to get help. I often think about packing it all in and getting on a plane home, however i'm travelling with my partner and don't want to ruin our wold trip because of my issues. I'm currently waiting to see a specialist to see if my current symptoms are serious, however in the meantime I decided I need to find help. This is what lead me to signing up to this site and already i've found comfort in other peoples stories and knowing I'm not alone when it comes to this!
Thanks for taking the time to read.
