Hi everyone I’m new in this forum, I wanted to share my worries with you and hopefully getting some advices on how to overcome them or at least live with them, before two years I had severe health anxiety it all started when I kept on googling symptoms but I can see for around 3-4 months I overcame it and I think I used benzos just for 3 weeks, btw I’m a football player so I’m active and healthy, but still with this coronavirus my anxiety was back again but with a little bit of Xanax I manage to calm myself in the way that I convince myself I am healthy but the problem now is that anxiety also made me depressed, I’m scared now to train hard because I think something bad will happen, then also I have like thoughts when I see other people doing just regular stuff, I think with myself lucky them how can they do it, I feel like I will never go back to my old self, it’s like I’m trapped in my own body, I’m scared to go somewhere alone because I think I won’t have anyone to help me, I just want to know from your experiences what did you use or how are you coping with all of this, I also fear that I’m going to go crazy and stuff like that
Private message Jan34534, and stay away from Dr. Google, it will drive you crazy. Dr. Google likes to scare the hell out of people with the worse case scenerios, so just put down the mouse until Jan34534 can get back to you. And i would stick to the private messages also. Just saying.
In the anxiety world you are normal, we’ve all had the exact same thoughts. You are young and I’m pretty sure a very healthy individual. Anxiety is a beast but I believe it can be stopped. I agree with David, stop searching symptoms on google, most of us learned the hard way. I think you need to eliminate sugar and all simple carbs. Stick to a healthy diet and if you want to google anything, google search for a functional doctor. Amen clinic is also good for anxiety reform.
