My name is Katie I’ve had anxiety/depression for the last 3 years from a bad breakup and recently it’s gotten worse due to a health scare I’ve turned into a hypochondriac. Every body sensation sends me into a panic. I’ve been having what I think is a heart attack for almost 4 months lol. I’ve been on Lexapro for a month (5mg) I feel better but still super aware of my body to the point where I think I’m the one causing the aches and pains. Anyone else like this?

Kind of but I self diagnose myself with mental illness (schizophrenia bi-polar etc) after what was also a health scare. I hope you feel better soon. I know its been a struggle for me lately.
