Summary

In this chapter we delve deeper into forum posters’ descriptions of anxiety by focusing on how they describe what it feels like to experience anxiety, what they believe causes their anxiety and how they best believe that their anxiety can be resolved. We consider also patient narratives around their anxiety. This chapter provides an overview of the linguistic content of the forum by carrying out a keywords analysis of the online corpus to identify words and phrases that are statistically salient in forum posts, comparing first posts with subsequent posts. These words are placed into thematic categories and a representative set are analysed in depth to illustrate different aspects of discussion around anxiety.
