And also hello ArcticAngel!

I too am a GAD sufferer, and I flit through phases of Panic attacks, health anxiety, obsessive thoughts and agoraphobia too.

If you look through the threads on this site you most definitely are not alone, and if you want people who understand well then you've come to the right place matey!

I am here if you want to talk!

Take care

I began this nightmare with GAD...scared to have hubby die, scared I was going to die, scared to be pregnant but wanted a baby, scared house would get broken into while at work, scared I did not turn the coffee pot off and house would burn down, scared to drive alone etc...Then I began to have physical symptoms that no one warned me about and I googled them...GAD quickly turned into health anxiety....then I found this site and it made me feel better so now I think I have OCD too because I find myself here daily reading posts of people who feel and fear the same things as me :) and it makes me feel better....like a drug addict??
It is a never ending cycle, but know you are in a safe place and among friends. I would be happy to chat anytime. I have learned that healing happens when you talk to people b/c it is like therapy....When you talk to someone about their problem, you are putting it in your head and you heal too. That is a very positive cycle to be invloved in :)

I have GAD also, was diagnosed 2 years ago and am constantly thinking about something (or should I say worrying). Feel sick all the time, tired, thinking obsessively about the same thing etc. Would be happy to chat :)
