Anyone else get frustrated at themselves

[samjam1992]

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone else feels annoyed at themselves because of anxiety. I suffer health anxiety pretty intensely my gp says and I also have something called somatic disorder, was diagnosed with that when I was 14, I'm now 25. I have now accepted i have health anxiety ans trying so hard to get through each day without googling or trying to see a doctor, so far I haven't googled any symptoms in 24 hours which for me is amazing as I'm constantly googling and researching my symptoms. So now I know most if not all the things I feel are my anxiety that then manifests and becomes worse but even though I now know it's just my anxiety I still find myself panicking and worrying in case it is something serious so in turn I get frustrated with myself cos I know it's anxiety and the more I obsess over a pain etc it will get worse. More when I'm not even thinking of anything and start getting pains somewhere I instantly think the worst even though I'm saying it's my anxiety if that makes sense. Has anyone over come with and if so how did you manage it ?

Yeah I always do this. I get bad reflux and then google it. 'Heart attack' then I go off on one and my chest hurts for days, I tense up and ache and get so frustrated that I can't just stop it

I know what you mean by the aches. I don't even know I'm tensing up until a day or 2 later my muscles ache and I start worrying wondering why I'm sore and my husband needs to remind me that I've been bad with my anxiety in the past few days then I realise I must have been tensed up too much. It's horrible

Yeah that's what I'm doing at the moment, my arms and chest muscles are killing! Hopefully it'll subside!! Keep going though! You can get through this
