Health Anxiety

Health anxiety has been at the forefront of my struggle with anxiety ever since COVID. I was hospitalized for almost a week in May 2020 and it’s left me scarred. I’ve made a lot of changes in my life that were beneficial to my health but today I had to make some appointments to check my heart health and it triggered me. Does anyone have any helpful tips for dealing with health anxiety? I could use some help.

One of the things that helped me is telling the staff right away that I have anxiety.

They went the extra mile to help me through.

I hope your appointments go well
