    Im here to listen. I have been through many bouts of anxiety.. including fear of mental illness. I have been fighting health anxiety myself lately too. Its incredibly difficult to understand unless you’ve been through it.

      Hi thanks for responding 

      It’s so stupid yet I can’t stop. I googled for hours again tonight. I hate it. And I don’t have anyone in my personal life that understands. It’s a lonely thing to go through.

      Hi

      Last night I just got really scared again of getting a worse mental illness. It’s always been a fear of mine but recently due to health issues it’s gotten worse. It just sucks!

    I'm here too i could really use a friend too i feel like I'm losing it i feel so off i feel like a walking zombie like I'm dying inside i have such a big fear of death i know every body dies when its there time but that's all i think of i have health anxiety every little weird feeling i feel like some thing is wrong with me .i feel like I'm going crazy don't won't to take drugs anymore i get bad side effects from them i was seeing a therapist and the one who gives you medicine but i was having hard time going there i have IBS so the fear of going there and having a accident terrified me. I was using the dial a ride but got so scared i also have the fear of crashing on the road. Because i was in a very bad tour bus accident and injured my back and neck and knees. So they canceled me out of the program cause i wasn't going. They knew my fear too so i thought they can find Me someone closer who take medical but not were i live i have to go out of town to see a therapist i just can't do it to much fear so i suffer at home my husband doesn't understand my mental health just says I'm crazy so that doesn't help me at all. So i feel very alone no one to talk to who understands what I'm going through. Si I'm here to talk and listen too anytime.

    You need to come to terms with your condition, then learn how to control it.

    One in seven will suffer a mental health concern sometimes in their life, most people will recover well. A further percentage may have problems that can be controlled, throughout their life, they will only take medications every now and then. The smaller group will have mental illness like Depression Anxiety or Paranoia etc throughout life.

      Thanks you’re sweet. Making healthy changes is super smart and good! Good for you. I’m having a down day. But trying to stay positive and going to use my “Calm” app a bit more today. The roller coaster sucks. And I’m bad at just letting go.

      I completely understand! I have been going through the exact similar things!! Doing little things and making changes to try and get back on track! 🤞🏻 Anxiety is a big thing for me right now - we can do this (hopefully)! 💗 if you ever need to talk I am here, we can all support each other!!! I completely understand and I am a chronic Googler of symptoms too!

      Thanks Holls 

      I would love some support. I don’t have a support system other then my husband in real life. And he’s super sweet but has no real clue about anxiety and such. He’s a normal guy( lucky him).
