Struggling with Health Anxiety

I’ve had intrusive thoughts OCD and GAD for nearly 10 years now and they still catch me off guard sometimes. Weather shifts definitely affect my anxiety, lack of exercise and unhealthy food send me completely out of control. My therapist once said that people who have anxiety are hypersensitive beings therefore tiny bodily changes are noticeable to them. So these small tinges in chest like you mentioned, one weird headache, a heartbeat somewhere on the body where it shouldn’t be and it sends anxious people into a spiral of intrusive thoughts about health, but really everyone experiences these normal body functions everyday, it’s just sadly anxious brains are hyper aware about everything therefore it’s a lot more noticeable. It’s so hard to convince yourself it’s just anxiety though, I know because I’ve been there and still find myself googling random things at 4am because I can’t sleep. Sending love to everyone struggling, you’re not alone x

I just moved up to my companies corporate offices. I'm autistic and many other things. It takes everything in me not to blurt out words. I was talking to the CFO and wanted to say masturbate, idk why. I always feel like I don't belong

i feel you. like i can get a twinge of pain in my chest or something that i've had my whole life but suddenly i get really paranoid and can't stop thinking about it 😔 it's a nightmare
