[Natsteveo]

Hi peeps ive got bad health anxiety and its come on all of a sudden again after 4 months now i keep thinking im dying cuz im panicing and being sick and dihorrea (cant spell) annoying part is ive had this lots of times since losing my mum years ago i know what it is i just cant convince myself wen it happens anyone else suffer

Not to sound trite, but feeling dehydrated can make anxiety worse. If you have diarrhea you may need to drink more fluids to compensate for fluid loss. Hope that helps

I feel you..i lost a close relative due to a sudden cardiac arrest and it has triggered health anxieties in me. i start to worry about my own family and myself if i will ever just suddenly die too. And when my anxieties kick in and i get heart palpitations i thought im gona have a heart attack and die. So far iv tried breathing exercises and doing mental counting to distract those negative thoughts and these have helped me calm myself. I will listen to meditation music as well. Try and see if these works for you.

I know how you feel 😳 it's horrible. I have bad health anxiety too! Every little symptom sometimes makes me believe that I'm going to die. Or that something is wrong, like I have an undiagnosed disease or sickness that I can't overcome. :/ or it will be to late when they discover it or something. 😛 it's horrible. I've had many tests done & even an MRI & they have discovered nothing wrong with me. Surprise right? Its crazy how anxiety can make us think! Its a very scary mental disease/illness that unfortunately we have to overcome ourselves. Its a process & I wish there were answers for us that go through this but again there isn't & in the end it helps to just accept anxiety & help your mind with coping methods that ease the anxiety until you have trained your mind long enough that there is nothing wrong & eventually anxiety goes away!
