:) Hi I am kinda new in that I was posting for a little while back in august/septmeber then I moved and hoped evcerything would be ok... but its not as good as i thought it would be so I'm back!!
I have been suffereing from anxiety which is causing physical symptoms on and off for near;y two yrs. I have had two long periods of being ok in that time. However this particular period started a year ago and is improving slowly!! I thought I had astham but following a diagnosis of anxiety all kinds of lovely symptoms popped up!! I had a brief respite in august, when I finally cried and realised I wasn't happy... which I think would have continued if I hadn't been caught in a tornado at work (Lincolnshire, England... who'd a thought!!) which caused me massive problems followed by a return of my usual symptoms. Now I'm anxious because I'm scared I will always be like this!! I am having CBT which is starting to help! I also since the tornado moved back to my hometown, changed my job and have met a wonderful bloke who just accepts me!! At the minute my major problem is that I thought I'd get better when I moved home... but I guess that part of the reason I worry so much about always being anxious! I also have PTSD follwong said Tornado... as well as a (declining) fear of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, weather being too hot and muggy and wierd looking clouds!! As I said declining because I'm not really as scared as I was... however its not thunder and lighting season yet so we'll see how that one goes!!
I also have a tendency to go on abit about all this... hence the length of my message.
I wanted to say tho that I have already been on and posted replies to some threads but I am finding this so helpful and supportive, its good to know when I'm feeling really bad that other people are having the same symptoms so it can't be anything serious! And that there are other people in the same situation as me!!
Thank you all for reading this :D
