Hi everyone,
I'm new here. I've been suffering from anxiety for a few years now. It all began when my best friend's 14 year old cousin was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We would continually go visit him in the hospital all the time and see him in the worst conditions. I started having panic attacks, worrying that something like this could happen to me. I started feeling symptoms, like headaches, etc. I went to the doctor and of course nothing was wrong with me. For a year or so I kept going to the doctor only to be reassured that nothing was wrong with me. I then came to my senses and enjoyed 2 years anxiety free. Now suddenly it's creeping back. I worry about graduation from college and not getting a job, I worry about getting cervical cancer because i have a form of HPV which either goes away after a few months, or develops into precancerous cells in a very very small amount of people (usually old women, and I'm only 21, so I shouldn't worry- but do). I worry about EVERYTHING. I just want to stop feeling stress all the time!
Anyway, nice to meet ya!
