Im sure I am sufgering with health anxiety. And one week to the next im sure im dying of something, but im starting to wonder if im depressed as well.
But it all seems soo trivial when I actually say it aloud. I dont really have much to gripe about in life. I have a good hapoy healthy family, a job that i dont exactly like but but it does just about pay the bills.
Yet as I sit here and worry about my health anxiety i just want to hide away and cry and seemingly over nothing. I dont want to speak to anyone about it allthough im sure I need to get to the doctors, I feel like an emotional wreck. I try to focus on the good but my mind just will not rest.
People always tell me im miserable. Even when i think i feel allright. Admittadly im not a people person and struggle to actually show any interest in anyone else. But oddly im content with that.
I just cant get passes the mixed up emotions coupled with terrible health anxiety😢
Hi Jason,
I know where you are coming from. I have health issues non serious but symptoms are bad.....or maybe I make them bad by worrying about them. I now feel exhausted and had to give up my job due to feeling so bad. Yes like you I worry, we know we do it but can’t stop! It’s a vicious circle isn’t it. Also I have no issues in my private life so other than feeling so I’ll theres nothing for me to worry about. My gp recently put me on fluoxetine for anxiety but after 3 weeks I hade to stop as the side effects for me were just awful. It may be worth a visit to your doctor to discuss things? This may not be for everyone but I downloaded som free apps for anxiety relief, they may just help you relax a bit. You certainly are not alone.
Hello Jason
We have decided to have several days visiting National Trust Properties and Castles, we will be doing this for the rest of this week to get a break from sitting at home before the Easter Break breaks out and it gets busy. This weekend in the UK the clocks go forward one hour at that means in a week will be Good Friday and the light nights begin and can take the dog out before it gets to dark.
What I am saying is the winters over and hopefully our mood can lift lift with those bright mornings and evenings.
I find my Anxiety lifts a bit as the day gets longer, Today we were in a wood full of snow drops and aconites and i felt a little bit more positive.
Do you have any hobbies, Before I became disabled I would be going out walking in the countryside, just to try and lift my Anxiety and depression.
Jason, do you have any hobbies to divert your thoughts a little ?
Yes I do understand how your Anxiety seems to knock you up ? however just wondering if you have any interests for the summer ?

Are you actually having any physical symptoms even intermittently; gastrointestinal, respiratory, joint/muscle pain, numbness in your extremities, unusual fatigue, etc...?
Hi. Yes i do funnily enough. Im an avid biker. And will be out and about on a regular basis all over on the bikes this summer with a goid few trios planned, always did find it odd that, riding a motorbike doesnt bother or worry me, but oh, an ache in my neck/arm/chest, well then i must be dying!!
Yes, of late, acid reflux, which the doc has prescribed omeprezol for.
But one month to the next something new will crop up.
Hello Jason
I know how you must feel getting out and about. Before My disability took my toys away i would love to go dancing. I would also Hill Work in Scotland, now I have a need to watch what I am doing and it can really upset how I feel Depression and Anxiety have taken my life away. So now I push and push hard because if I let the problem get me down I could be in deep trouble.
I am as you may know a Pensioner and when I qualified for My Pension I began to understand the need to keep busy came to the fore. Last year became a none year because of certain problems. I let go and my life became troublesome because of my Short Term Memory Disorder, I has five weeks of tests for Dementia and that facilitated me taking some form of control of my Life and expectations.
Diversions do help even though like yesterday night I had forgotten where I had been during the day. However I try and counter that failure by buying the Guide book of the house visited and I will read the booklet tonight
Onward and upwaard
