My anxiety has been so bad lately and I’m sick and tired of it. My health anxiety is through the roof, I can’t fall asleep till like 4 am because I’m scared I’m going to die in my sleep, I know I won’t and it’s rediculous. Idk what to do I’m getting tired of it I want to feel normal and I feel like no one else feels the same as me . 😭😭

You are not the only one who is dealing with this. Trust me, I know what you are going through and how hard it is. Health anxiety is so hard to control but it can be done, I use to go to the hospital all the time until one day I told myself I know my health is fine this is all due to my anxiety. The symptoms can trick you into feeling like your dying or gonna die. You are not alone. Stay strong.

Hope your feeling better, I used to be a lot like this, I was driving myself mad thinking I was ill all the time, scared to sleep like you said. Get some help, maybe therapy, do some nice things for yourself, things you enjoy, have a bath maybe before bed. Don't get me wrong I have my days weeks where it's crept back in and I hate it, like I've got a pain at the minute and it's all I can think about and of course I'm thinking the worst

Definitely not alone with this health anxiety. Its all i can focus on from the time i wake up til i can actually get to sleep which i struggle with same as you. Dont fall asleep til like 2am then have to be up like 5. Afraid of death too. I hope the best for us through this.

Yeah it's a scarey thing even I wake up thinking about going back the doctors but I know they will just say anxiety but in my head I know it's not x

I’ve suffered with health anxiety for years and when my health is good i cope but it’s always there waiting for the next twinge.. I’m ill at the moment and my anxiety levels are through the roof assuming the worst and I wake up through the night knots in my stomach and tears thinking of my illness and thinking it is life threatening.

I really do feel for you.

I had Cognitive Behaviour Therapy years ago and that helped for a while.

One thing I remember my therapist telling me is when I have a negative thought is to go along with it and imagine you are a frog sitting on a leaf and floating down a stream... I know it sounds bizarre but if you try to picture it in your head with all the sounds of the water... well it did help me!

My hear goes out to you I know exactly what you are going through

Im not feeling my best either and it has me thinking the worst. Worrying about every ache and pain. And i also wake up through the night which it seems like my body feels the worst at late night or when im lying down. And i cry alot too. Scared thinking its some illness that the docs havent found.

I can tell you no lie I feel exactly the same like once I sleep, that's it for me no returning that's why I'm always jumping up . I learned that when I'm tired imma fight the anxiety and go to sleep . I know I will not die and I do not let anxiety win . I haven't had any medication yet. it's like im fighting for me life. ME AND YOU BOTH WE WILL NOT LOSE . however I'll go see my primary doctor in a few hours and see where it goes from there.

Not what you're looking for?
