Hello everyone
It's taken me ages to pluck up the courage to join but here goes
I have suffered from anxiety for about 3 years since the breakup of my marriage, it mainly manifests itself as health anxiety and I really struggle to cope with it sometimes.
I'm very lucky because I have a really good family and one friend who is very understanding and supportive, I have other friends but try to hide my worrying from them, they might think I'm mental
I work full time with people who have learning disabilities and love my job so that does distract me for a period of time.
I'm 39 soon to be 40 (another source of anxiety) and have two lovely children.
I can't think of what else to write so just a note to say HI to everyone.
Linzi

Hello Linziloo i'm new here too (just a couple of weeks) I've found this site very helpful, well a god send really especialy over christmas. I'm not very good at writing epic stories about mysef but I have found reading other peoples stories a great comfort. I'm still learning about myself at the moment so all I can say is there seems to be some lovely people here to help us.:)

Welcome Linziloo...
Don't worry about the 40 thing...I hit it a couple of years ago and you know what...it's not as bad as I thought!!!

(mind you...I do take LOTS of tranquilisers !!!!!!!)

It's a great forum, you're in great and safe company!
