please explain your health anxiety symptoms or what you go through. If you suffer from panic attacks or panic disorder & avoidance behaviors please explain what you go through. I suffer a great deal from both, and want to know what everyone else feels and goes through because we are not alone in this!
severe health anxiety sufferer suffered for many many years many er visits and health/disease phobias all to be told nothing is wrong.. very afraid of being far from the er and being on rural roads grew up a basketball player and always been a very athletic guy ive recently developed a fear of exercise due to fear of a heart attack the list goes on and on man…
Yeah it sucks. Guess we need to learn to better accept it and realize its the way we are. I struggle recently with it, during undergrad it was manageable but now in grad school it has gotten so much worse. I have empathy for anyone going through this! It’s like its one thing after another, and im reluctant to benzos or ssri’s bc of their addictive nature, but im starting to think the pros would outweigh the cons bc this is no way to live, im young & healthy, but my mind tells me otherwise.
well the drugs dont really treat the problem they just mask the symptoms but yeah man they can help
You are not alone my anxiety is affecting my physical health feeling sick everyday and just really unwell this is a terrible illness
