Hey

[Sky33]

Bit nervous about talking about my Anxiety but here goes anyway.....
I`m 33, single parent and have been suffering from Anxiety for about 3 months. I`ve been reading this site for a while now and thought it was about time i joined up. I get Anxious about everything! I`m convinced i`m going to keel over with a Heart Attack at any moment (ridiculous i know). I get a lot of palpitations which i think is what`s making me convinced i`ve got heart disease lol.
I`m booked in for CBT this month and a bit worried about what to expect because I don`t really like talking about things but i`m gonna give it a try.
At the moment my Anxiety seems to have taken over and i dont get a break from it at all. It`s really getting me down and i`m starting to think that the whole thing is making me depressed. I just wish it would go away!
Anway, it`s nice to meet you all xxx

Hi Sky, i'm Julie and i am 33 too! I have 2 children, girl 9 and boy 7. I have suffered from Health Anxiety since I was a child. How long have you suffered with your anxiety? I am sure you will find lots of support here and reassurance with your symptoms x x x

HI Indigo Nice to meet you. I`ve only suffered badly for about 3 motnhs but i had an episode when i was 18, i was constantly feeling my pulse and didnt want to be left alone in case i collapsed so i suppose its been there for many years if i`m honest.
It looks like a great site! it`s so good to know that there are many people in the same situation. Very reassuring.
