Hi y'all. I'm sure you've seen me on here before. I reply to people occasionally and make my own posts about stuff going on with me. This isn't about anything specific this time too, I just.. Kind of need help. Health anxiety is ruining my life. Everytime I think I'm getting over it, something new comes to make me fall into worrying again. Not to mention I keep having relapses of worrying about things I thought I had gotten over. I think the anxiety is causing a lot of the nerve related symptoms that have scared me so bad in the past, but I can't get myself to truly believe that, and as a result I'm still having a lot of problems and it's starting to worry me again. I just.. I need advice. I need something to help me stop worrying so that maybe my body and my life will go back to normal. It seems like none of the advice I've gotten in the past has helped me, I just desperately need something new to try or something. I would really appreciate your thoughts. Signed, Color.
whoops i meant ‘this time though’ not ‘this time too’. r.i.p
I understand what you are going to through with but every problem have solution. Just take a leave from work and visit some interesting places which you like most may this can help you to overcome your anxiety. Nothing is special than to visit your dream places 
solution is possible you have to change your whole lifestyle you have to put an effort bro find something interesting that can pull your mind somewhere else
Hi Rainbow, I have similar issues that you mentioned, it’s like a vicious cycle, just when you feel like you have dealt with one health symptom another one pops up again. strange how it is the same things but just jumbled around, almost like same symptom like previous with a new quirk to it. hope you feel better soon.
I’m actually a teenager, so I don’t have work, Lol. I’d love to take another roadtrip but that kinda depends on my parents and our finances which atm aren’t great.
I’ll try!! It just seems like anything I try to distract myself with only works for a limited amount of time. Watching TV shows, drawing, writing, anything of that sort is temporary and once I’m done it all comes back again.
I know, it’s so frustrating! Mine have been all sorts of different symptoms though, but I’m 99.9% sure a lot of them are connected to the anxiety. The thing is, I might think that, but the anxious part of my brain doesn’t want to accept that as the answer. It keeps screaming ‘HORRIBLE DISEASE, HORRIBLE DISEASE, HORRIBLE DISEASE’ when in reality the problem/s I have are probably coming FROM the anxiety. It sucks.
it is anxiety, even though you know it is anxiety, your mind tells you all the weirdest symptoms, it’s not always easy to change your mindset, ask your parents if you can see some1 professionally to help you, keep strong, all will pass
The only solution is to address the root cause of your anxiety, running away from it, suppressing it or finding relief in distraction only helps for a short while. A psychologist can help you with finding the root cause and a solution.
I feel like I probably do need to see a psychiatrist or something, but I don’t know. I feel nervous asking because I’m afraid it’s gonna worry my parents more than is necessary if I tell them that.
I do probably need to see somebody about this, but as I said above I don’t wanna worry my parents more than is necessary. Although I think my mom had said something about it before when I first told her about the health anxiety, but it never really came up again because I was a bit argumentative at the time and told her I didn’t really want to do that or something like that and since then I haven’t really talked to them about it. I’ve been both worried about unnecessarily worrying them and also worried about them potentially being mad at me for worrying about stuff that’s so rare in someone my age.
I understand what you are saying, but your issue won’t go away by itself so at some point you will have to ask for help, so better do that now, waiting will only make things worse. You are lucky that your mother already came up with the suggestion to get help which makes it easier to get back to it. I can understand that you reacted defensive when she mentioned it and that you needed some time to get used to the idea. It isn’t too late to tell her that you changed your opinion and would like some professional help now. She might become worried but on the other hand I think your mother would be happy to know that you ask for her help when you really need it.
Lastly, health anxiety isn’t that uncommon in your age group. I hope you will talk to your mother today or tomorrow and will get help soon. Try to get a psychotherapist, not a psychiatrist, the latter are more into pills, and less into solving the root cause.
