Hello to Everyone!

[Carolinitaa95]

Hey :)
My name is Carolina, Im 19 and Im from Portugal.
Im currently trying to overcome health anxiety that's part of my generalized anxiety. Sometimes I just fell hopeless but I try to think of the good things the world has to offer and I know I cant give up.

Im here because I find it relaxing to learn that others also feel the same and that Im not crazy

I agree you are not crazy just because you have some anxiety. Otherwise, we are all crazy! It is good that you focus on the good things the world has to offer.

Hi Carolina, I'm Andy, it is nice to meet you! It sounds like you have developed some good coping skills. Is there anything in particular that you think of when you are feeling hopeless?

Hey Carolina, I'm James ! You're so not crazy,i have the same issue of health anxiety. It's a shitty thing but it gets better. It seems you have some control over it already which is excellent. Feel free to chat to me if you would like to vent out. It helps a whole bunch x

Hey again everyone :) !
Im still not completely "cured" from health anxiety, but ive been trying to cope with it on the best way I can and part of that goes through:
- Reading about other people's stories
- Looking up some tips to calm myself down (even If I know them by heart, reading them again helps a lot)
- Practice belly-breathing exercises (breathing in and out)

What do you guys usually do?
