bad anxiety?

[KatieRichie94]

I read a story about a kid die from dry drowning. I didn't even know it was a thing until I read the article. Today when I was swimming I choked on water for a second and instantly thought of that story. That is normal for health anxiety right? I have been worried all day that I'm having drt drowning myself

Yes it is normal even for those without Anxiety. Anxiety exuberates health issues.

My best advice is limit what you watch and read. I had to avoid all news channels when I was really bad.

Hope this helps. Take care.

What was your experience with it? If you don't mind me asking.

[mewmew in reply to KatieRichie94]

When I had a nervous breakdown last year I could not watch or listen to media. I just either thought it was going to happen to me or I felt so sorry for them I was constantly crying. I could not keep myself grounded.

It is a lot better now over the last year. Make sure you are in a good frame of mind before watching anything.

Take care

I endorse your reply. I would suggest this too. Its like " don't ask the questions you don't wanna know the answers to"....

Just limit yourself, it would just makes things worse trust me.
