Hello out there.

I posted something in the general area and then felt rather rude for not introducing myself lol. I am Andrew! I just turned 26, My doc thinks I have a mild GAD that was kicked into overdrive after I had a spontaneous pneumothroax (or as we normal people would call it, a collapsed lung) which required me to stay in the hospital for 12 days and a nice little surgery. Thousands of dollars later I am rewarded with anxiety lol. Having some humor about it helps but I wasn't always able to do that. It is mostly health related anxiety (worrying i have cancer or parkinson's or als and before i was vaccinated i was terrified of the evil swine flu) So you cna imagine having odd symptoms is scarry just like it is for you guys. If there are any xbox live users out there my gamertag is Van PhelaN.

Thats what happend to me, just not as extreme as the collapsed lung. I almost fainted at work (co-worker caught me) and the ambulance came, took me to hospital, had all the tests, and nothing. I was sent home. It seems almost immediatley my mild GAD went into full ANXIETY!!! It wilol be a year at the end of this month that I had my "breakdown." I wonder why when something happens to us, we turn into full anxiety sufferers. :|
