Constant Symptoms with Health Anxiety

Give yourself grace. You are NOT alone. I had the worst debilitating thoughts spinning around in my head. Their were many nights I couldn’t sleep, I was even afraid to be home by myself. Release the attachment of the negative thoughts from you. You’re scary thoughts are not yours, they belong to “negative Nancy”. Give your negative thoughts your name to detach yourself from them. I always remind yourself that they are not your thoughts do you think happy thoughts etc. I have also read alot of positive self help books and affirmations and jack Johnsons apps for sleep and relaxation. Remember that you are not going crazy. You are not alone. 💕 🙏

I have it real bad

I have terrible symptoms

yano I have done alot of reach on somatic symptoms for awhile now and I thought the same thing honestly...and I have..well awhile ago and they just kinda blew me off but I have a new therapist since then so I'm definitely going to bring it up to her !

It sounds like it could be somatic symptom anxiety, and it could help to talk to a therapist about it.

Yes, especially concerning my heartbeat! The only thing I have to try and help is to just not google symptoms and I usually ask a friend to tell me I'm not dying and then I'll believe it.

You are not alone love I have a lot of illnesses and my anxiety and depression are from living with chronic illnesses and chronic pain daily. I had a breakdown yesterday I cried so much and so hard I told my mom it's exhausting being in pain all day every day. I wish I could have a few days where it wasn't that bad. But unfortunately chronic illness and chronic pain have been my life for the last 9 years. So I definitely get it love you are not alone. Feel free to inbox me anytime you need someone to talk to.☮💙🖤💜🕯

I have the same problem all I ever think is I got something wrong health wise

yea I get that. I have anxiety underlying all the time but also get severe panic attacks to where my heart races and I can not breathe. I even get to where I have to leave a room and calm down. But I get the stress anxiety because with my husband's health I have a lot of stress.

I have bad stress anxiety and some health anxiety too. It’s ruining my life

You're not alone bc I have also experienced this

You’re definitely not alone! I have anxiety and contamination OCD and they feed each other all the time 😭😭 it’s gotten so bad to where I was washing my hands so much they blistered, but the fear of getting sick because of something was so intense. I’m doing better now, but I get it.

I feel it. You're not crazy. You just are amazing as God put you on the planet. I have that all of the time recently.

You are not alone

All the time!!! It sucks so bad 😭

omg my health anxiety has always been bad, especially since the pandemic started!

I’m in constant pain 24-7 it’s horrible

I get sick alot because of anxiety 😥😥😥😥 but I am so medicated

Dude, it’s relentless. I still deal with it and I’m “properly” medicated 😅 it’s not you!

I am like that with my oxygen levels when I am sick. But I also know that you know your own body. With the anxiety part I take my prescription medicine if I feel like it is to much anxiety.

You are definitely not crazy. I have the same exact thing.

And bingo was his name-o same as you 💕

You aren't any more crazy than anyone else. Mental issues manifest differently for everyone. But, physically, our bodies are much stronger than we think. As many times as I've gone to the ER thinking I was going to die, nothing serious has ever been found.

YES. Some days are worse than others. I'm hyper aware of every sensation in my body. I'm always looking up symptoms for any possible explanation for even the slightest symptom. I know it's not rational, but I still do it because, what if something was wrong and I missed it. I would love to turn my brain off.

I have a lot of health issues and had panic attacks because of them. So you are not alone.

I would agree I think about my health way more than I thought I did until my mom pointed out how much I talked about it

i have them too.
