Hi, I am new. I am 49 years old and throughout my lifetime I have had 5 bouts of health anxiety, starting when I was 28. I am currently in the middle of a severe bout and am going through every horrible disease imaginable. I only have to have one symptom and off I go! I won't name any illnesses so as not to trigger anyone. I have even joined specific illness forums!

Hi, welcome, I am also a new member. I am 60 years old and I developed severe health anxiety over the past five years. This forum has helped me and I hope it helps you as well.

New member here as well. Struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 16 (now 53). It's already a comfort to be among people who understand.

Hi everyone x. Thanks for the posts. It is such a struggle to face each day when you are playing out these horrible scenarios on your mind. Hyper aware of everything. Every thing you drop, every lump/bump, cough, pain etc.
On top of all that, putting on a brave face so no one knows what is going on in your head as most people don't understand .
It is such a comfort to find this site whete people understand. Although I am really sorry you guys are going through the same situation xx

Welcome to the forum, I am here for couple of months and believe me, being here helped me a bit, now I know that I am not alone. Most of the symptoms that the folks here have, I have as well.

Hopefully you will find peace.
