Hello All

[Dothrehearse12]

Hello everyone,

I have used this site for information about anxiety before, but I didn't officially sign up because I didn't want to admit that I had a problem. I suffer mainly from crippling Health Anxiety, and I am struggling with a particularly bad episode at the moment. I am recieving counselling but not anxiety medication, due to the fact that my doctor doesn't think it would be beneficial.

I would be happy for any advice. It's just nice knowing that there are other people out there going through the same thing. It can feel a bit lonely sometimes.

Hi Dot. Good to see you here.

What are you worried about at the moment?

[Dothrehearse12]

I have a minor headache. I know that's a common symptom of Anxiety, but I am still stressing myself silly.

I feel like its just one thing after the other sometimes. I seem to be constantly worrying about illnesses, I know it sounds stupid.

Thank you for welcoming me.
