Dealing with Health Anxiety: My Experience

I'm not sure if my symptoms are actually getting worse or if I'm just more aware of them now that I've actually been diagnosed. I've struggled with symptoms for probably around 2 years now but only got diagnosed last month. I thought I was just lazy and/or weak and that I just wasn't taking care of my body but everything makes sense now that I know what it is. I just got off 2 weeks of treatment but I feel like it just made everything worse.

What treatment did you do?

Yes I totally feel this!!! Before the diagnoses I just wrote it off as me being sensitive and that this was normal!! And as soon as I got the diagnosis it was like I couldn't keep lying to myself and it hit me so hard I couldn't continue to work!!! It comes and goes, treatments are hard, you have to change them a lot, but the best thing to do for yourself is be patient and know that you don't have to pretend that you're not in pain, adapt your lifestyle the best you can!! I wish you so much luck

It's going to get worse before getting better with treatment.
