Hello! Very new to this kind of thing.

[aronza]

Hey guys! I have never been a part of a forum before; I came across this site and thought it would help me not feel so different since I know all of you are trying to cope with your own form of anxiety. I have been feeling alone recently, yet I do see a psychiatrist (who I dislike) and a therapist (who I do like), and I do have an amazing and loving boyfriend. Having these things in my life do help to an extent. Some days I'm fine, and some days I feel like I'm the only one in the world who is crazy and has intrusive/disturbing thoughts which causes heart palpitations and general worry. Today is one of those days. I would definitely like to get to know you guys, and continue looking through the threads to hopefully help me feel like anxiety isn't who I am, and I'm not going through this alone.

Welcome to the club. :) Glad we can be your first forum!

You're certainly not alone. At first, it is reassuring to see how many people suffer from the same thing as you do. At least, it was for me. Mental illness can feel very personal, almost like a handmade condition, designed to cause you misery. Then you realize that actually, it's quite predictable, it follows a select group of patterns.

Hopefully I'll see you around the forum.

Welcome.. lots of people here with the same problem.. Education is your best friend, once you learn what anxiety really is and how it works you will be on your way to getting past it.
