hello mates. just an introduction of myself. im 31 now and was diagnosed with anxiety disorder 8 years back after I lost my best friend due to heart attack. it all started with sadness n then I started thinking negatively abt everything that is happening to me. like a slight muscle twitch I will think I have a serious illness. ive join a few international anxiety forums and it did help me. and one thing I must say for ppl with health anxiety . please do not google for symptoms cos it will make u worry more. lol. im glad to find ppl with the same ilness as me. after reading some of the post here I thought the symptoms of some ppl here is not as severe as mine. maybe I think too much. lol. but im just glad to see u guys here supporting a positive thoughts.
