It's wonderful be on this forum, and meet people who have anxiety too! =D I'm Violet, and despite sounding happy at the moment, ah, I've been suffering from anxiety for quite some time now.
It's been going on since 2005 I believe, when I developed a swallowing/choking phobia. But to be honest I think in a way I've always had moments where I felt so alone, afraid, or just sad in general, and not understanding why. Still, I am really happy to be able to talk to people who know what these dreadful feelings and emotions are like!
I've gone through a crazy range of problems, from thinking I'll stop breathing, to this week, as my anxiety has beeing coming back to haunt me like mad. My main anxiety is over my health, and despite being a healthy teen, I've had moments when I thought, 'It's the end! It's the end!', over the smallest things like a silly chesty cough or a tight throat.
I guess my main problem is I blow things way out of proportion, and I have little trust in my own opinion about my health. Still, I look forward to getting to know the site better, and maybe helping other people too. Though, you'll probablly see quite a few panic posts from me!
