Anxiety Symptoms - What to Look For

Vannessa!

You are DARLING. Thank you so much. This *beep* lump hasn't gone away for weeks, and God knows I'm popping my klonopin daily. *laughs

I love this place....:)
 
s'okay....I get all kinds of variations...lucy, stacy, lisa. You name it.

Gosh, it's so funny. I don't ever really notice that I have anxiety, but I do have frequent panic attacks. It's all related to health anxiety.

You?
 
Mine is always health related. Looking back it started when I was a kid. When AIDS first came to be known, I was around 8- I wouldn't touch door handles, eat foods unless they were from home, or go to public restrooms. I guess as a kid it resolved on its own. Then I got a little bit back when I became a teen having sex (just 2x's). In the last ten years (I'm 30) it's been aimed at cancer this, cancer that. I really do think the media and magazines don't help people like myself. I'll give you an example...
breast cancer- check your breast once a month- we'll I'm NOT trained to recongize a lump from a cyst so I'll panic when something feels abnormal.
So much info out there, I really think it's causing people like my self to panic more. I'm not saying it doesn't help, but it's so sensationalized.

Smiles,

Vanessa
