Zb33, Hello and welcome to HealingWell.   Glad you've found our online community. It’s a great place to connect with others traveling the same road...you'll find much support, encouragement and advice from others who understand. I am going to post the link to some of our info from our resources thread that you will find on our main page, 1st post. Also wondering if you would like to give us a bit more info re your anxiety - what are your toughest symptoms and how have you been dealing with the problems ?Are you on any medications and do you see a therapist?  Only answer what your comfortable with as we can help you without knowing fine details. I have a 30 year history of anxiety and depression and most of the time I do well, however, I do consider myself a work in progress.

Zb,

Take a moment and check out the great Resources Kitt posted, and even utilize the search feature and type in a symptom, and see just how not alone you are! Health anxiety seems to be one of the most frequently experienced types of anxiety.

Anything can be a trigger, so absolutely, health scares can cause a cycle.

Can you share more of your story with us? We're a good crowd here, and always enjoy meeting new people and welcoming them into our folds.
