Health anxiety sucks

[Natsteveo]

I’ve suffered with this for many years now almost 20 in fact...but what I can’t get my head around is how come I can go weeks or even months with no attack or feeling of dread and then boom it just comes out of nowhere my cheeks burn I get this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach then I shake and go all hot because I think I’ve got something wrong with me like I’m terminally ill or something then I go to the dr he says it’s your anxiety then I’m reassured then go home and think well I’ve been a hyperchondriacfor so long what if I do have something and the dr don’t take me serious... this is so tough anyone else suffer this

You know what I've come to the conclusion that because the majority of us share the same feelings I have to say it's in the food and I know I'm not wrong

It has to be normal then if so many of us have the same symptoms thanks for your reply

Your post makes a lot of sense, I’ve often wondered what if something was wrong other than it being anxiety.

I’m sure it is , mine does the same just plodding alone nicely then wham !!!

Hope you feel better soon.

Nat, those 2 words "what if" can delete anything and everything positive that

our doctor may say to us. Somewhere along the way we need to believe and trust

in the professionals who take care of our physical health. Not easy at times but well

worth the benefits in reducing our mental health concerns. xx
