Hello I am new to this group I am finally taking a stand and entering into other ways technique to deal with my health anxiety and depression I love everything about this group I I found on social media how everybody gives encouragement to each other and supports each other with big wins little wins it doesn't matter and the one that I'm going to say today is me finally telling my story I have been suffering from this illness for about 10 years of my life I thought it was normal it started at 16 I used to have very bad panic attacks heart racing flush skin sweating breathing too fast to the point where I would give myself back pain stomach cramps headaches and almost to the point of fainting I'm taking a stand today and I am trying techniques to call myself down and to talk through them and also joining a family that can give me the mental support that I have not been able to receive hello everyone and this is my win it's a little but I'm glad that I'm finally speaking 😔😩😊
