Hi everyone I'm Ryan 28 years old. For over 3 years now I have been fighting health anxiety and I'm losing big time. Everyday I wake with bad tummy and really loose toilet movement. This happens every single day. I have head aches, sores, skin problems, bad stomach and many other things. I honestly think I'm dieing and I'm too scared to find out why. Some days I wish there was a button I could press and everything would stop (meaning life)
I have found that over the last 8 years the only way I can attempt to sleep is with the help of a hair dryer. I have gone through over 30 hair dryers where I burn them all out. It's like an obsession, I could wake at 3am in pain and worrying about my health and then all of a sudden I find myself reaching for the hair dryer. Im going absolutely crazy and I keep thinking maybe it would be better to end it all, I mean at least I won't have to go through all this every single day.
Hi Ryan,
I feel so sorry for you going through this for that long! I have the same but this started 8 months ago after I had a health scare and still don't know what is wrong... anyway I have the exact same symptoms! Anxiety can do crazy things to our mind and body!! I have had bloods,scans and now I'm having MRI/mammogram done. I've had to pay this private to give me peace of mind!
I must say when I have massages and reading books about anxiety does help! Maybe see a therapist or speak to someone.
Have you tried buying one of them little heaters that sound like a hair dryer?
I really hope you overcome this as it's not fun is it 😩
Another thing is I've stopped googling that helps too. I'm trying my hardest to beat this!
Google is my biggest enemy, if anything happens from the slightest pain I will pick up my phone and search Google. It always comes back that I have cancer or hiv.
Iv been through alot in life but I can safely say heath anxiety is the worse of them all.
I hope you too can beat it and love a happy life.
Many thanks for the replie
