hello

[Atkin]

My name is Deborah and I suffer from a mixed bag of disorders, primarily panic disorder at the mo, though I have had quite severe OCD several years ago. Have been having regular CBT sessions for about 8 months now, and while have managed to reduce number and severity of panic attacks, am still left with GAD, and as a result of all the strange symptoms a whopping great helath anxiety.
Have been reading site fora while now, and finding it of use, just seeing others in same boat helps the postive affirmations that I am not dying of some dreadful disease.
Bye for now,
Atkin

Hi Atkin,
Glad you have found this site, as you say it is and will be of great assistance to you, i know it has helped me enormously. Just knowing you are not alone, or 'dying' from some awful disease, does put your mind at rest. You seem to be making good progress, keep at it and keep in touch, take care.

thanks for the kind welcome. Nice to know you're not alone with this, as only someone who has been there can really understand what this kind of anxiety feels like.

hey deb,
welcome to the site - it's great here!
noone can quite understand panic if they haven't experienced it (if one more person tells me to get a grip i'll scream!), which is why this site is so good. hope you've had a good read through the health anxiety stuff, i found it really helped.
take care,
