Hi everyone. I am 29 and from Bristol in the UK. I have struggled with a lifelong physical "invisible" illness as well as some possible mental illness. I really don't know where to start with any of them and I'm too ashamed to tell my GP how I'm affected day-to-day, so I've decided to come here in the hope of perhaps building my confidence and in telling my GP eventually as well as relate to anyone else here.

Welcome to oFear, Lotus33!

Please feel free to post about your illness and we will try to help to build your confidence to talk to your GP.

You have nothing at all to be ashamed of........welcome to the forum and please, feel free to chat amongst friends.

There is nothing to say that we havent seen or heard of before so dont feel embarrased.

Regards

Hi Lotus33 and welcome to the forum. I've been here for quite some time and this is the best place I found where people listen and respond with understanding. Snooks said it best. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Hi Lotus33, I'm also a newbie like you hear and I'm also here because people here understand and help to live with your phobias. This is very helpful and amazing forum for people like us.
