Hi Paul,

Welcome to the community.

I'm so sorry about your parents passing. It's natural to have a lot of grief after a loss.

It sounds like things hit you hard and after their passing, it could have brought on the health anxiety.

Have you thought of trying counseling?

Sending support...

Hope you get better medications so you can work...

We are glad you are here. Welcome to the community.

Yes many of us have gone to the hospital thinking something wrong but it ended up being anxiety.

You’ve experienced a lot in a short amount of time. That could be overwhelming.

I hope you find ways to relax and heal

It is a process. Glad you are here.
