I get you. I'm a hypochondriac too. I feel things sensations in my body and my mind panics and creates some illness. It's confusing and scary.

Facts like I’ve been in bed all day like I’m not even wanting to deal with my kids

I understand that too. I tend to stay quiet and online all day. No energy just beat.

I feel like this a lot too. Early last year I got sick and then it was like I just never got better. I always feel like something just isn’t right. And the more I focus on it the worse it gets but when I’m focused on doing other things I don’t feel bad but then I realize that I haven’t felt the off-ness and then it comes back. Usually in a different way. I hyperfocus on that off feeling now and then I have panic attacks.

Same here jus multiple attacks some mild some worse

That’s how it’s been with me. And it’s honestly been terrifying for me because before this I’d never had a panic attack before. I’ve always struggled with anxiety but this has just been so different and I didn’t even realize until a few months ago that I have been having panic attacks. I genuinely thought I had asthma because I felt like I couldn’t breathe. No matter how hard I tried I just felt like I couldn’t get a full breath.
