Everything scares me, every thing makes me anxious,depressed and miserable.
All you want is to be normal for once but our minds don't let us. Why?
Is it a past trigger?
Are we natural worriers??
What is it?
My leg is better, but now I have this drowning feeling in my throat and chest. When I force a cough to get rid of this feeling I get a headache.
Like all these symptoms if I go to the doctors they roll their eyes. Don't give me a chance
I know I'm being a burden on them and on my ex who pays for my health insurance, the people who have to take care of my littles ones when I rush to the hospital or doctors, it makes me dread going to those places now.
I'm the same as you Always.., except I'm terrified of doctors too.
I have severe health anxiety as it would seem you have too, and always worrying over some symptom or aliment. The last few weeks have been really bad for me with a constant fear running in my belly of so many different symptoms. All fuelled by heavy doses of Dr Google - the absolute worst thing to do for anyone with HA.
Why am I like it? I don't really know but it's a hard way to carry on.
I can't really offer advise but only to say you're not alone on here as there's plenty of us with HA.
I'm also going through a bad time at the moment with health anxiety mine is about me and my kids also which I'm so scared I'm going to turn them into me. Every symptom ailment we r dying and I cannot control the panic and anxiety it's overwhelming. I wish for one day I could get rid of this fear. I'm frightened I'm going to look bk on my life and just regret all this time and energy and tears I've spent worrying. I also feel people r tiring of me now. Pls believe me u r not alone sending I lots of love xxxx
I know I feel so guilty, my son who is only 2 says mummy take me doctor my head hurts! And my daughter was googling symptoms aaarrrgghhh it's so hard and this puts more pressure on us to try and hold it together which I really struggle with, when I'm having bad times I've struggled to hold it together and just cried in front of them and then beat myself up more afterwards. So hard just want to have rational thoughts rather than irrational all the time xx
Don't beat yourself over it cause we can't help ourselves at that moment you know.
I've cried infront of them multiple times at one time they thought I was crying because of them and I immediately stopped and tried to explain what's going on with me as best as 4-9 yr olds can understand.
I avoided showing any hypochondriac ways for a couple of weeks around them.
It's tough but someday we will kick this thing in the bum!!
Hi ... My anxiety sadly comes from my mum, she was a nurse, worked nights, so raised by grandparents, mother was never there for me...but when I was ill my headache was ...meningitis so she said, the pain in my left arm ...heart issues, that pain in my nose? Well it was whatever the worst case could be...I've had 30 years of her telling me this...sadly my son who is almost 12 said tonight...can you take me to hospital I want to make sure this bruise is ok he got this bruise 3 days ago when he fell at his dads house and now he's worried once we are feeling better ourselves then all our kids will see it...as long as we are there for them that's what matters.... Have either of you been through any therapy?
Sorry your mom did that to you, and for your son to ask it must have been a bit heartbreaking. We can't help ourselves from being like this before we get help unfortunately no therapy for me as of yet
Is it bad of me? That when my daughter comes to me about her issues I try to tell her "you're fine" explain a little bit about what might be going on and then act like she's being silly. I think that by doing that she'll avoid being a hypochondriac like myself or am I going about it the wrong way? What did you tell your son when that happened? If you don't want to sure it's okay I understand. I just don't want my daughter and sons to think this is normal behavior you know.
Hey im the same as u every little thing now im depressed and i cant act like myself i just get scared of everything. Idk if i should try excersise every one tells me to play basketball and play in college but this anxiety is holding me back im a hypochondriac and ive been to the point where it was bad but thanks to god i made it it feels like noone can help u like ur just gana die but u know what theres hope and nomatter how bad it gets never give up brighter days are ahead
Morning yaz when my son asked me to take him, I explained what happens to bruises and said you'll be fine. If anything was to happen it would have already. So that kind of settled his mind. As he's going to his dads today, knowing full well his dad won't take him, I said get dad to take you to drs, this morning all will be forgotten
I just found out last week that I am vitamin D deficient. I found a forum where people who are D deficient have these symptoms. Have a blood test to find out. Also check your Inner ears.
Ohhh isn't it the worse feeling ever I feel so worried about my health all the time so stressing that I have something bad and I am going to leave my kids I think all these bad horrible things and it's taking over everything I do now. I worry about one part of my body and then that part if my body gets all the symptoms. I try not to let my kids hear or see me like this. my husband don't really understand and I think my friends are over hearing about the next thing I think I have wrong I really understand what all you guys are all dealing with and I find I don't get like this when I go and do my morn workout so I would try say try a work out just 30 mins a day with some head phones in after a few weeks you should see a change in how you feel. I haven't been going for about 6 weeks now and I am at my worse so as of next week I am pushing myself back. I also going to start yoga I hear it's so great all the best
Hello pls don't worry! Things will turn around for you overnight! You'll wake up one of these days to being a brand new you de-cluttering is one of the best ways to conquer anxiety! Is there any old clothes and things that you could give away to Charity? Good luck and keep believing in yourself.
