my Health Anxiety story.

[1eeee1]

Hello my name is Jane and i suffer from Health Anxiety and OCD, depression.

when i say 'my health anxiety story' i don't mean it from the past, its literally what i'm going through right now.

so it all starts with worrying too much if i'm sick. nothing weird, just normal. i one day fainted because of dehydration and ended up having a long panick attack worrying if i am very sick, if i have a disease or some shit and thats when it all started. everytime i felt sick or had something different going on with my body i typed it up AND YES IVE LEARNT FROM EXPERIENCE, googling it makes EVERYTHING worse. i ended up thinking i had 'ovarian cancer' because my tummy was making weird sounds. yes.

now here comes the hardest part of my anxiety. i also suffer from OCD and depression so, every time my health anxiety comes up my ocd starts ringing in and making me stop being myself/accepting myself so everytime i panick i punish myself because my ocd is wanting to be perfect. here comes the depression part, everytime i think about my 'issues' i go crazzy sad. idk if this is my anxiety but i just start crying and don't eat much it really annoys me. as a middle sized teen ( i'm not skinny) i really try not to stop eating, i don't want my self conciousness to win me over and i don't want to stop eating to become thinner, its my depression that stops my appetite so sometimes i end up forcing myself to eat and get sick. right now my appetite is REALLY big, i ate way too much chocolate and i am craving more. but then again ocd comes in and says 'EYY JANE U HAVE TO KEEP BEING PERFECTT NOOOOO' so i end up lost in thoughts WTF should i do.. anyone have tips?

Just know this , anxiety is the opposite of dieing. . You probably need some therapy for your OCD because that's hard to live with in its self. You have to love yourself flaws and all , no body is perfect..

Hi Jane, a lot there for you to be dealing with😏However if I were you! I'd ask for some blood tests just to make sure your levels are where they should be. After you get results ask for copies of them. You are allowed to do this. You can see for yourself where your levels are!! Deficiencies can cause all kinds of things which can contribute to how you feel but!! It's easily remedied by taking supplements if you need too.my belief is all the things you suffer from have been triggered by a trauma. I have suffered anxiety, depression and I can't say I've suffered full blown ocd but I clean a lot!! Especially if I feel upset!! It keeps me focused and feeling in control. It starts from taking back control, eating well, excercise even if that's going for a walk. Great for the mind!! Our body's really are our temples!! How you treat it does have a big impact on how we feel. I'm not saying it's easy but try take some control. Good luck sunshine 👍😀
