Quick Intro

[Rhicoop]

Hello all,

I have joined the forum because although I have quite a lot of control over my anxiety and depression when I am having a rough time I don't feel like I can really go to my friends anymore. I used to be able to, but we have grown apart and gone separate ways. My husband is amazing but sometimes I need to talk to someone less involved. So hello all, hope to have some conversations with you soon.

Hi Rhicoop,

Lovely to meet you! I'm also new to this.

I think I'm here for similar reasons to you, I feel like I drive my family and friends mad with my anxiety so much that they don't know what to do with me when I get myself into a state; I'm scared it will start to ruin my relationships because I will exhaust everyone around me.

I have constant health anxiety and I always feel like the smallest thing is a major illness. I don't know anyone else who is anxious about this the way I am. Sometimes I'm lucky and I might not worry for a week or two and then it's like I'm hit by a lightening bolt and suddenly its back with a vengeance and I'm in despair again.

I'm sure this forum will help. I'm not looking to wallow, I'm just here for a bit of understanding, a few tips and a bit of company when it all gets a bit too much in the middle of the night!

What is it that you mainly worry about? Fingers crossed we can both find a bit of peace :)
