I was doing so good for a couple months and now I feel like I’m back at square one thinking every breath is my last breath filled with fear of diying

Feeing the electric shock when trying to sleep heart pounding racing anxiety consuming my everyday life

I just want to feel better again I hate this it just seems like I can’t catch a break a new symptoms occur and I feel even worse 😭😭

Symptoms are one of the worst aspects of health anxiety. You end up in a vicious cycle

Yes it is and just like before every symptom I get scares me so much just trying to realize how I pulled myself out of this whole so this won’t consume my life anymore

I’ve had it on and off. I can spend months obsessed about a symptom. Scaring myself to death. It’s exhausting and as much as people reassure you, it makes no difference.

Yes my boyfriend tries and reassured me but I can’t help to think something is terrible wrong and it scares me to death but then I wake up the next morning and I’m ok I have to tell myself I am ok and believe it like i didn’t before

Health anxiety for me got worse and worse I imagined every pain or shortness of breath meant I had a serious illness,I wouldn’t go to doctors in case he said I was ill then more anxiety it has now left me with acute anxiety panic disorder and I am now on medication 8days and I feel a nervous wreck so you have my heartfelt sympathy and I hope you soon start to feel a bit better are you on any medication?

I am so sorry you are going through this. Anxiety is a very difficult thing to deal with. Have you tried talking with someone about what you are going through? Whennever I feel anxiety taking over me I always call my closest family member so that they can try to help me through it. I hope everything gets better!
