19-year-old Asperger's girl suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Health Anxiety (Hypochondriasis/Somatic Symptom Disorder); interests include video games, anime, cartoons, playing piano, writing fanfiction, practicing digital art, a bit of cosplay, linguistics, biology, psychology and neuroscience. Lover of birds and owner of a cockatiel and budgerigar.

On here because my Health Anxiety is slowly improving (thanks to therapy) but struggle to open up to family about it due to their restlessness with my previous symptom-checking and reassurance-seeking. I guess I need someone to talk to in the moment when the anxiety upsets me at home.
