Hello.....I would like to introduce myself!

[Rebecca]

Hello everyone....My name is Rebecca, and I am 18 years old from the USA... I found this website a few weeks ago, by just surfing the web. I have been going into the chatroom alot and have met alot of cool people who really relate to me.


Now let me tell you a little about my problem.....I have bad anxiety. I worry about everything. Mostly dying. If I get a single ache or pain I think I have cancer, or heart problems, etc. It doesnt matter what the pain may be I have something ill to relate it to. I use to think I had a brain tumor because my head hurt alot. Now the latest is....I think im having a heart attack all the time because I have shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pains. etc.......... Last night ( Sunday ) I had a bad panic attack. I cryed for hours and was hypervinalating. MY heart was racing and I thought I was going to die any minute.....Every now and then I will worry about something new. But I really hate these feelings and I am glad I found this site, so that I can help others as well as them helping me......I would love to get emails from people, and replys on this forum. I am always happy to make new friends, expecially ones who feel the same thing I do......
Thanks.
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca

Welcome to the site and i am sure by reading through so many of the posts you will realise you are not alone. The most common health issues are heart problems and brain tumours due to anxiety. I hope you soon settle in on the site and you get all the support you need.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

When you fear something.
Learn as much about it as you can.
Knowledge conquers fear.

Hi Rebecca

I worry about dying too, with some reassurance I am learning to worry less. We all get aches pains and twinges and there is normally a harmless explanation.

Take care, hope you feel calmer soon
