Yes I do and have done off and on for the last 20 years.

Check back on the previous posts and you'll find plenty of us do here.

I would have said no I don't suffer with health anxiety I have GAD but I'm begining to think differently now. I haven't been on hols for two years I'm worried about going away keep thinking if anything haappens to me i wouldn't get back home and I can see myself in a hosipidal over sees with no one to visit me. My kids over heare trying to get the money together to get me brought home. This story I play over in my mind and it stops me from traveling. I do have health issues with two chronic illnesses. But it's my anxiety that stops me from living.
