Hey everyone!

[NervousLuke]

I struggle with Social Anxiety, General Anxiety, and Health Anxiety. I was given medication but of course, I was too anxious to take them.  When I get anxious, I think of the worst possible outcome, I'm not sure if that's rational or not. I feel like something bad is definitely going to happen. I don't know how I will deal with my disorder but I enjoy talking on forums and hope to in the very least, make friends who struggle with the same problems.

Lots of people going through similar things here.

There is plenty to do around the forum as well as a great chat room (once you have 3 posts, and is for 18's and over only)

I'm new here also, and can relate to a lot of what you said. Thanks for sharing about yourself. I've been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder (just wrote a big intro in another thread) and have found medication that has helped moderate it for the time when I was taking it, but nothing that really helped me progress to trying new risks and breaking out of some of my deep-set anxiety patterns. Look forward to seeing you on here!

I actually suffer from social anxiety and OCD health-related anxiety as well.  I commonly worry about things like pesticides, cleaning solvents, the sun's ultraviolet radiation light, radiation, cancer, toxic substances, etc.  It feels like one is living inside of a prison, to be a slave to these mental disorders....

But don't worry, there are others just like you.  That is what forums like this one are for.  They are for reaching out and establishing a community, online, for interconnected support, with people supporting each other from all over the globe...
