Health anxieties taking over my life.

[Anxioussoul]

Hello everyone. New here just wanted to say hey. Been dealing with anxiety for a couple years now. Here recently it's progressed to major health anxiety. It's been really hard to cope with it. So i thought maybe tlking about it would help me.

Welcome.. I have health anxiety as well and find this sight helpful and comforting. Knowing That we are not alone makes us all feel a little better I think.

Thank you. I'm willing to try anything at this point. It's so scary noone understands unless they deal with it. That constant fear your gonna die of some horrible disease....my main fear at the moment is Cancer. I can't shake it. I wake up every day struggling with my anxiety. It's hard to even function.

Yes I know this feeling well. I have been having anxiety today out of the blue just sitting at work. My anxiety hits me in the stomach and I get nauseas and diarrhea then I start thinking something's wrong and I'm getting sick. It is so hard to stop it once it gets going. I try reminding myself that it will pass and it's all in my head.

Aawww sorry you had a issue with it today. Yes it just comes on out of the blue. I'm sure it was hard to focus on work. I do that too just try to tell myself it is just anxiety taking over.

Hi.. I suffer so badly from this too. It's getting so bad. If I have a symptom of something my mind goes crazy😔 You are not alone. I just joined this group I need to talk with people who understand.

Welcome, I'm new too. Sorry your dealing with this awful mess too. Yes i understand what your saying. You have a symptom and your mind races. I start googling which is never good. But i can't stop myself. Don't do as i do. It only makes you worry more.
