Hi!

[Ally'sMommy]

I everyone! I could have sworn I was a member of the forum already but let's try this again!

I have OCD, Anxiety and am a hypochondriac. About 15 years ago I lost my job, wanted to leave my husband and fell apart because I let anxiety ruin my life at the time. I never had big anxiety until we lost a puppy which was my first time dealing with death. Luckily my awesome husband stayed by my side, I got help and turned my life around!

Fast forward to about maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I lost 50 pounds and my hair started to fall out which triggered something and I went completly backwards. My worry went from thinking I was going to have a heart attack years ago to my current fear of cancer. So for the last 5 years I have off and on attacks for anxiety and hypochondria. I am currently not on any meds for it but I am currently thinking about asking to be put back on them. I wanted to join this forum because I need to know I am not alone. I feel like not having anyone to talk to makes me worse and will let me know there are others out there just like me!

Hi, mom of Ally. And please let us know your name!

I used to say I wasn't for or against meds. I changed my mind though

I believe without the meds to settle me down, I never would have beaten this bastard we know as anxiety

If you have been on them, I say yes to them. Get your mind settled a bit and then move forward with the healing by education of your issues

Once you understand, accept and realize what it does to you, it tends to stop because it can't fester on your fears

Wish. You well
