anxiety

Hey! I'm also new to this board (how have I just found this...?) but not new to healthy anxiety. I'm a grad student who's at the top of my class. I actually just won a national award for my work. However, the recent success has made my anxiety out of control. I know that sounds...

Hey, so i’m new to this thread and kind of new to this whole anxiety thing. I would love if I could talk to someone more one on one about stuff. It would be nice if they were someone my age (16) but, definitely not required. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm a 16-year-old girl who has had severe hypochondria for over 3 years now. Every day I google my symptoms over 20 times and diagnose myself with around 5 new diseases every day. My whole life I have been struggling with mental illness. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 6. I also...

my grandma has COPD and my mom spends a significant time in the hospital with her. Recently, they moved my grandma to a respiratory center. My mom was sick for like 2 weeks with some kind of repository problem more than a month ago and she got her friend sick too because she was staying at her...

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have had a history of health anxiety dating back to 2016 and have had so many worries about many different diseases. Well, starting from last summer I have had a fear about contracting rabies somehow after reading about it. I’m not sure how...

I know this isn’t the place for a diagnosis but I’m unable to go to a hospital or visit a doctor. My family does not believe me when I say anything is wrong with me if I do not have physical signs. So a hospital is out of question right now. I had these distortions in my right eye. They were...

Hi all, My name is Timothy, and I help produce a podcast about new emerging technologies. We recently came across a technology that has to do with death, and that got us thinking about our own fears of death. I think everyone, rightly, has some capacity for it. Some more than others. We wanted...

Hi all, So this is my first ever post on here. I am in my early 20s and have been diagnosed with social and GAD and depression. While my diagnosis was 4 years ago, I know that I have been struggling since I was a kid. I have early memories of the physical symptoms I would get when I had to go...

Okay, this is my first time posting, and it's going to be a long one. I am in my late 20s, live by myself, and work full time. In the fall, I will be going back to school for law. This may entail moving to a new state, depending on where I'm let off the waitlist. I already have three small birds...

I'm in my late 20s and Ive struggled with anxiety since I was 14-15. I am in the middle of a major transition in my life, moving across the country to a new place where I dont know anyone, dealing with the selling of a house, taking care of an elderly parent that hasn't been much help in the...

And I have for a long time. There's times with my parents. Sometimes I love them and feel so lucky to have them. And others I wish they'd just give me up for adoption.. so maybe I can be understood by someone else. They attempt to understand my anxiety and my depression. But based on what...

Hey guys, My name is Mercedes and I suffer from really bad anxiety. I feel like it has taken over my life over the past couple of years and its truly debilitating. Well, last year I decided to make a change about that but I stopped my progress because of well...my anxiety. But this year I am...

Hi everyone - I'm new here. I've posted this on other sites to try and get answers, so now I'm trying others to see if I can find anyone else who can identify. I am a 38/m, 5'11, 155 lbs, Caucasian, non-smoker (use an e-cig), no alcohol or drugs. This has been happening for about two months...

Today I decided to be spontaneous and bought a ticket to see an EDM artist this Saturday with a friend or so I thought. Turns out my friend had conflicting plan, one that I apparently was invited to and then promptly was forgotten about by my two friends who I thought were going as a group...

Hello, i’m going to try to keep this short! I am a 21 year old male, i am also a newley father to a 7 month old girl, and i have a stay at home job on the computer. Im 155 pounds and 6 feet tall, and have a shitty diet that has a lot of processed meats, but the last few months i have cut down on...

Good Afternoon! I've had sort of a strange thing going on lately, and I wanted to see if anybody could relate. I'm a well-seasoned hypochondriac, and I've worried about having everything from testicular cancer, to AIDS, to brain tumors. I've noticed that whenever my hypochondria is at its...

Hi everyone, It’s my first time here. I really need some help to try figure out what is going on with me. The past year I’ve suffered very bad anxiety and panic which has recently turned into depression too. The hardest thing for me right now is this very unsettling (actually unbearable)...

Okay so this is going to be lengthy but bare with me bc I'm freaking out. So 2014 I enrolled in online college, I took a course that wasn't in my interest switching from one to another. Overall I wasn't too interested and never took it seriously. But I wasn't ready to go away to college bc I was...

I’m not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but whenever I try to google what I’m feeling OCD always pops up. I dont think I have OCD but I think I have something like it? I get very anxious and uncomfortable when colours don’t match. It’s to the point where I basically only...

Hello, My name is Anna. I struggle with anxiety and depression and I am currently taking remeron to help my insomnia due to my anxiety. I have a story to share because my anxiety is through the roof over this and I can’t do anything but focus on this. I’m worried I may sound dumb for my story...
