I relate to this post. I feel like this the majority of the day.. with few breaks. It’s getting better after going through it constantly for weeks- until I get the feelings then it’s like I’ve lost all progress. You aren’t alone. It’s going to be okay. Just take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.

Hello

I suffer with HA and whatever we are feeling is real to us but people that don't suffer cannot understand it as the majority of the time we are fit and healthy but we cannot see that as the fear over takes and over powers us and that is how the anxiety keeps control and makes us so full of fear !

I used to be terrible then I got control of it not rid of it but learnt how to reason with my thinking but with everything happening in the world mine is back again !

Because I am middle aged to be polite to myself by saying that in other words getting old I do now get things going wrong which to be honest has fed the HA even more !

We find as well with HA we will be focused on really believing one thing is wrong and as soon as we have moved on from that then we find something else wrong and the circle of fear just goes round and round

I am not sure if you can get any therapy as challenging these thoughts can help but go on You tube and put in Health Anxiety , so much on there and explanations which you will relate to and ways to cope as well as trying deep relaxation which also there is on there to

You are not on your own and I bet you are fit and healthy even though I know that people saying that does not stop the fear we are feeling , but this can get better , look for as much help , information on Health anxiety as you can but one thing don't do is ask Google about any symptoms you might feel as that will make you worse

Hope you get the support you need

Take Care x

Z, I read your most recent posts and decided to go back to the beginning to see if I can help. I have suffered from depression and anxiety my entire life and I have a feeling we may match up with some issues.

When the worst of my anxiety is coming on until it's over I am very nauseous. I can't eat or sleep. I started trying to meditate but it turns out I'm not very good at that! I read a lot about meditating until I found an exercise that works for me now. Sometimes even researching things that will help moves my focus to just that one thing.
