having been here for a few weeks now, i could say that most, if not all of us, are struggling with health anxiety alongside other physical symptoms. i know it's hard, especially when we can't help but come up with the worst case scenarios. even i already wrote messages for my family and friends because that's how sure i was that i was going to die because of cancer. i still fear it. but i have good and bad days. today is definitely better than yesterday and i think it's something to appreciate and thank for. to everyone having physical difficulties being heightened by their anxiety, i feel and hear you. and i promise you that you are not alone in your suffering. this forum is a proof of that. again, it's hard, but we can always look forward to better days. i pray all of us get better. i pray all of us get everything sinister ruled out. i pray for all of us who can't afford tests, prolonging our agony. i pray for better days for everyone. hang in there!
What a lovely message to read. I really am totally fed up with over analysing every niggle, pain, sensation my body feels. I don’t remember what it was like to say"oh i feel abit sick" and forget it.i now Google constantly and picture myself in scary scenarios like A&e or the back of an ambulance. these things never actually happen but i drive myself crazy with worry.x
i hear you. i have become very much self-aware but not in a good way. i would obsessively check my body for anything unusual, and go to Google immediately. It’s become a habit so it’s very difficult to stop. I hope for recovery for the both of us! Let’s keep fighting!
