Thoughts?

[Minnie87]

Does everyone think that the forum should just be used to talk about anxiety conditions or other physical life threatening conditions?

For me I think it should just be about anxiety and panic etc as there are so many other forums on healthunlocked for other illnesses and long term conditions.

I think sometimes people come on here telling everyone that something horrific has happened to them and it really panics people when there are other forums for those kind of physical illnesses.

What does everything one think?

Yes I agree because when I hear of physical illnesses it triggers my health anxiety 😭😭

Yes!same.

There are so many forums on here for so many physical illnesses that I think sometimes people should think before they post.ive seen a few people reply to people in a panic because of a post like that.and I really think it’s quite damaging x

I totally agree. I saw a headine on here just now and it’s panicked me so bad. This forum is supposed to be for anxiety support.

I agree too! I've seen posts about relationship issues, school problems, etc. I try to tell myself that those issues may be triggering their anxiety? Sometimes just reading it triggers mine!
