Hello

[mich1]

Hi there, I wanted to introduce myself and say hello and hopefully become a valuable and useful member of the community. I've been dealing with health anxiety (although I didn't know it was that at the time) for about 8 years now and it started out of nowhere.

It's been up and down but lately it's been really, really bad and in spite of having had it this long, I still can't shake the conviction while I'm in the middle of an attack that this is really it...that it isn't health anxiety at all but something really serious and dangerus and it's game over. Hoping sharing stories and experiences will help and I'll be able to provide help or comfort in return.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,

I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this! Anxiety is horrible and I can relate to what you are saying. Sometimes it is hard to be rational.

I hope that you find the forum useful :) It has been a god send for me. You are definitely not alone.

Take care. x
