Hello everyone. I just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a 28 year old female who was recently diagnosed with a panic disorder. I've always been a sort of anxiety person, but didn't start developing serious symptoms until last year. I had an extremely rough time last year and began having panic attacks. I thought I was dying! I had no health insurance but eventually went to urgent care for chest pain. I developed some major health anxiety and swore I was dying for the last three months of the year. This year I finally got health insurance and a regular doctor and he confirmed what the urgent Care doctor told me: I have anxiety and am otherwise healthy.
Outside of that, I'm a gamer, cosplayer and Preschool teacher. I would love to connect with others who wish to chat and comfort each other when times get hard, and find some friends who are also into the same things as me. I wish to find ways to cope and defeat this anxiety, and help others with theirs!
