Why do I have to have Health Anxiety?
Hi Lonely3190 I've always felt with myself that the Health Anxiety came from the
over protectiveness my parents gave me when I was young. Always focusing on
"you will get sick" if....
After a while, your thoughts focus into every little pain or discomfort you get.
You spend years worrying about things that will never happen. As we get older, if we
hear of a friend or family members getting sick, we then develop the same symptoms
even though it doesn't relate to us.
I over came it. xx
Agora, how did you overcome it? Mine does not start until I have an actual diagnosis of something, but then I do worry, I think excessively.
b1, A certain amount of concern is normal when we are diagnosed with a disorder or a disease. However it become Health Anxiety, when we won't let go of tests that prove to be normal. When we linger worrying that the doctors are missing something. Then our
worry is not about the disease but about the anxious thought. xx
That's how I feel. I just want it gone.
Lonely, you need to find the root of where this came from and then work on
that issue. Something or someone brought a fear in you that your subconscious mind
will not let go of. xx
