I'm new here. I don't expect you to care, but still, hello.
I suffer from moderate health anxiety.
I'm 17 years old, and I live in London, UK.
A 17 year old with health anxiety? yeah, that's right. I have a horrible family history for cancer, and since the day my nan died in front of me, my health anxiety has been really bad. I get a headache and think there's something wrong with me. I look pale and think there's something wrong.
It's just too much now really. Right now, as I type, I have a horrible cold, and I'm looking up various things a cold can lead to, I.E, pneumonia. I then convinced myself I have that, simply because my breathing felt weird, my chest kinda hurt and I've been coughing..but I know deep down the real reason my breathing feels weird and stuff is because..well, I have a cold and I'm smoking (cigs). Stupid, I know.
Anyway, hi.
