hi i'm beck - i've suffered with anxiety, ocd and health anxiety since the age of 7 although i'd say it was classic ocd at that age followed by the latter but i was always a worrier!!!!
Thats worrier not warrior - I wish i had the courage and strength to be calm and peaceful. when people say you gotta chill out i laugh cos if i knew how - i would! Outwardly i'm bubbly and outgoing (even went to drama sch) but it belies whats going on in my head.
I have severe health anxiety - i feel like a resident at my doctors and I'm sure they've had enough of me!
I'd love to list my latest health concern but isn't that feeding my ocd's need for reassurance - constant re assurance.
My fear is that they'll always put my latest ailment down to anxiety and lets face it i have ocd so the what if? goes round in my head constantly.
I really suffered after having children as hormones seemed to bring it all out and i felt so awful. I had no idea others felt the same and the moment i realised i wasn't the only one - that seemed to help so much.
Anyway i'm struggling to know where to turn now so this site has always been helpful and here i am again.
thanks for reading this - little insight to little old me!
