Ohhh where do I start? well I suppose an introduction would be handy.
Well my name is Leanne and I am 28, I have lived with anxiety, OCD and panick attacks since the age of 15. When I look back I had a fab childhood but my mum and her mum both suffered with their nerves and when I was 9 my mum had a very hard nervous breakdown, thinking back this seems to be the trigger of my problems.
I have severe health anxiety and I actually found this site when Googling my latest Cancer scare :)
I have been on Sertraline for many years now and have had numerous sessions of CBT and counselling, all of which have done me nooooo good at all :-(
I have two small children now and the time has come for me to battle this horrible illness for fear of passing it on to them.
Currently I am finding life really hard, due to some blood tests that was slightly abnormal and night sweats I have sufferd with since giving birth to my son last November. I did the stupid thing of googling my symptoms and it came back with many diff' problems but off course I only seen the word CANCER!!!!!
I am hoping that the new set off bloods I had done today come back normal so maybe I can put this problem on the back burner.
I have realised I need help with the Health Anxiety orr the next time I have something wrong with me I will be in the same emotional wreck I am in at the moment.
Anyway enough ranting now lol, I have really enjoyed reading other peoples stories on here and realised I am not the only person in this world with this horrific illness.
