Still having crazy thoughts

[Ericamo1]

I still have this health anxiety to where it switches almost daily to me having parkinsons or als or both. I obsess over my twitches and every sensation in my body. I literally have nightmares about it. My doctors seem to think its all anxiety since its been going on for so long already they say i would have other issues besides the twitching but i feel like this has taken over my life. Every thought i have during the day and night is that i have some deadly disease. I have recently been prescribed ativan and zoloft but currently only taking the ativan. It helps with the panic but my thoughts still linger. I dont know if i will ever get out of this vicious cycle.

No worries. It is just anxiety.. when one gets anxious, he gets very sensitive to everything, he pays attention to every detail and also he overanalyses everything and worries about everything. Anxious people also get hypochondria and they start worrying that they have some more serious dissease, which in 99.9% of cases is not true, it is just anxiety.

I have been in this state and I still get in that mood sometimes, but now since I have started to get used to it, I pay it less attention as I know that they are just anxiety thoughts and nothing more.

I also feel this way I’ve gotten a headache about a month ago I went online and saw the worst outcomes and now I can’t seem to shake this feeling that I might have something wrong with my brain like MS or a tumor, I’ve been having legs and head muscle twitches it hurts and I can’t tell if it’s just my anxiety making me think these symptoms

No one can compete with the creativity of anxiety. It has such a powerful imagination and it can create such negative scenarios that can impress every honor movie producent.

But as soon as you start to learn to ease anxiety the thoughts will vanish or you will start to give them less and less importance.

As an advice I would say to try to stay away from googling every sympthom that you experience, because in many cases it will make the things worse, especially when if you suffer from anxiety

Its just hard not thinking about it. I get the twitching on so many different places from my feet to my face it freaks me out. Its exhausting but everyday is the same thing.
