Hi.
I'm Anna, i'm 24 years old and originally english, but i have lived in Norway since i was 5. My life is seemely great, i have a high education, lot's of friends, lovely boyfriend and so on, but i don't feel great. I think i suffer from health anxiety, or well i know i do. I would like to talk to people who suffer from the same. Sometimes i get completely convinced that i am sick, it depends on my mood. For a year ago i was almost convinced i had cancer beacuse of all the "syptoms", but it was only a product of anxiety. No i am afraid of (oh my god i don't even want to write the word) Schizophrenia.. If i hear of psychotic people on the news or hear friends talk about "crazy" people i just can't listen, i get so afraid. with the story: my father was diagnozed with Sciz. in the 70's but now they don't believe it was that. They think he had more of a breakdown, and he had suffered from strong epilepsi from he was a child. I can never remember him as sick, he had a family, job and friends. So i dont understand what i am afraid of when it comes to that. I have had a very hard upbringing with alot of unstability,alcohol, physical and psychological abuse but i have always felt strong. I was exhausted last summer after studying (needed straight A to get into my masterprogram) and got a panic attack, after that i have had alot of anxiety. Can anyone relate to mye health anxiety? I know why i have anxiety, but i get soo convinced, and when im in a good mood i cant understand that i really believed i was sick..
