I’m 35 I’m active go to basketball games , baseball, I’m in a motorcycle club go hiking Runyon canyon 4 times a week , I drive and fly a lot and I have panic attacks for no reason where I’ll have to leave make excuses, go home or get away I’m a hypochondriac always think sumthin is wrong with me , I did just find out I got a blood clot in my lung , Fckn great go figure like I don’t stress enough , well there’s a Bro of mine in my club with similar problems and it seems we’ve became Ativan buddies sadly but when ever he and I are around each other we’re able to share stories settle each other’s nerves kinda hang more then every one else , it’s one thing to talk to someone on a site but when you have common issues with someone to get together and talk makes things easier I’ve started to calm down a little more don’t know if any one else relates

Totally understand... when I'm experiencing an anxiety moment. Talking to someone who understands what I am talking about. Seem to calm me down quicker. Sometime it prevents me from having a full blow panic attack. It's awesome that you are so active. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Praying you find a good place with this wonderful anxiety thing. LOL May you have a great day.

Be glad you have found someone to share with more deeply than a casual acquaintance. That is an accomplishment in a society that seems to function best on superficial terms. You are active too and that has worked well for me as well, I live in a northern part of the country and have started going to the gym and pushing myself on stationery bikes. The endorphins produced in the brain during physical exertion have become additive.

Derek,
Its very understandable. Everyone looks for and clings to people or someone that is similar to them. Look at all if us in this support site. Then.... look at the groups that break down our different problems.

I think its good you have a friend that is much like yourself.

I wish you much luck with your blood clot....

Thank you very much @seamus and friends

I am sorry to hear about the blood clot and all of the stress. I suffer from anxiety as well and am trying to find ways of dealing with it. I am 37 years, and am trying to become more active physically as to have some outlets. I just want to tell you know how admired I am at how proactive you are about interacting with other people and using physical activity to be connected with others and sharing your feelings of anxiety

Of course and totally understand as when you have someone in similar situation makes sense you will be able to feel comfortable sharing your fears and anxiety and being able to relate. I suffer from Anxiety so those who know best how i feel and what i go though are people that walk in the same shoes,
TC,
Feel better.
