I’m quite anxious at the moment,Iv had anxiety for many years..health anxiety has been getting the better of me lately..I’m itching all over it goes for an hour or so then it’s back again day and night .i have underactive thyroid and you can get a bit of itching with that..I was wondering if anxiety had anything to do with it..my mind is in overdrive.thank you..

Hello

There seems to be all of a sudden so many of us speaking out that we are suffering with HA

It makes you wonder if this virus has triggered our HA of even more but you are not alone with your HA

I suffer with it and I do have spells of out of know where itching all over , for me it happens a lot when I am in bed which drives me mad as when you want to go to sleep and itching nothing worse , but this does happen when my anxiety is high so yes I do have this problem on and off and I do believe mine is my anxiety

Take Care x

Thank you ..for the last five days it’s been no stop..I think all we want is reassurance until something else come along,I am so fed up of myself,I feel my life as just passed me by..I am an older lady and just wish it would go away ..

Take care.🌻

Hello

I am in my late 50's , had HA since I was a child and I have just been saying to someone , that first when you were younger you could fight the thoughts a little my saying well I have age on my side , but then as you start getting older that argument turns into a yikes age is not as much on my side any more

The other thing we were saying is it is like all your life you have wasted just waiting and even though we know it happens it is crazy that we make ourselves so miserable and are missing enjoying life !

I think those that don't suffer with it think that maybe we don't try but if only they knew how hard this is , how hard we do try because who really want's to be like this ?

If you need to talk you know where we are x

Completely agree lulu-1

I've often thought about all the years I've wasted because of HA, and as you say age brings it's own health hiccups so for sufferers of HA it can be so overwhelming, thank god we can all come together here to try and help each other xx

I know it is so true but so glad as you say we can come on here and be free to open up and have people understand us

Having said that got up this Morning and my HA is having a really good old time of it !

Hope your day has started better x

HA morning's are so unsettling, I usually try and listen to something soothing on youtube channels relating to anxiety and tap into that inner voice to remind myself I'm ok. Hope the day becomes nicer for you lulu-1 xx

Hello lulu1

Hope you are feeling a little better this afternoon...did you see I had mentioned Claire weeks. and the Linden method both worth looking at.x

Hello

Not the best of days I am afraid

I did see you mention those books , I have read Claire weeks but will have to look at the Linden method , thank you x

[kalif in reply to Hidden]

Look into the linden method, you have to buy it ,but there is lots of information on the web site,,it comes with lots of CDs .i find his voice quite soothing.x

[Hidden in reply to kalif]

Will do x

I do understand what you are saying I really do

And I understand that what we worried about when we were younger some actually start happening as with age things do

I spend most days worrying about something to do with my health and it is no life and even with people around you it still feels you are on your own as you watch them enjoying themselves while you are sat suffering with torment in your head

I have asked so many professionals how to deal with health anxiety , I am talking to someone at the moment and have asked and what I find strange is they so far don't seem to have an answer !

If I do fine one and I know a lot is about challenging the thoughts ( easier said than done though ) but if I find a easier way I will make sure I tell you x

Glenninindy,thank you for your comment.i haven’t tried white vinegar,I bath every day,change my bed every other day but still the same..

Funny enough has you say when I’m busy or am distracted for a while it goes,but as soon as I sit down it’s there,my head is just to full of stuff..

Have you glenninindy and Lulu 1 read Claire weeks she is very good,it’s also comes on cd..also The Linden method,these people know what they are talking about and I know it makes sense,just need to get it into my brain..

Thank you both x
