Hello!
I have just joined the forum.My name is Carla and I live in the UK. I became really ill with anxiety in April of this year. There were no reasons for it, I literally had a panic attack one evening for no reason and then it all went dowhill from there. After 4 months of constantly being sick and nauseous every single day due to anxiety, plus weight loss due to not being able to eat and all the rest, I am finally getting better but not free totally of it yet. I dont take medication but feel I should but I am scared of taking it due to the side effects. I really didnt want to admit that I was ill with anxiety and looked for every other illness that could possibly explain how I felt. I never knew that anxiety could make anyone feel so ill. I thought it was just something people felt before exams or something stressful. I didnt realise it could become a full blown illness.
I look forward to getting to know you and also hope that I may be able to contribute towards the forum by helping others if I am able to.[/b]
