Just wanted to introduce myself. I just recently started actively trying to treat my anxiety which if I had to categorize would mostly be health triggered. I'm only 18 so a lot of people my age around me don't really understand what I go through on a daily basis so I'm kinda looking for that on here...
I really worry about my health more than anything, it's so exhausting and frustrating. I check my pulse randomly and deep over breathing is a real problem for me haha. Every ache, pain, soreness, or dizzy spell is never just that -- I probably use goggle more than any other person on earth to self diagnose. I've tried two medications, hydroxyzine and lexapro. The hydroxyzine works for me when I need it, and I tried lexapro bc i worry about something new every day, but unfortunately after just one dose I was up for 48 hours stasight and had my first ever 12 hour panic attack! so I was advised to stop taking that haha. well there's a little about my anxiety...
I've never been in a forum before so! I'm really hoping this helps :)
