New listener to the podcast, just saying hi

Post by waytoowary »

I just wanted to say hello and I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I forced myself to attend a meetup event yesterday for people with social anxiety and it went fine despite all my irrational worries and fears. Social anxiety is certainly a major problem for me but my hypochondria is way worse. It causes me a kind of fear and debilitating terror I wish upon nobody. And it's not all hypochondria, there are real health problems I face but the amount of worry and fear that accompanies them is just off the rails. It's gotten so much worse in the last couple years, I'm hoping therapy will improve my condition so I can soon start enjoying life again. Thanks for reading
