Having anxiety is not nice but only you and your Dr. can decide if you truly have an anxiety disorder. There are an infinite number of human experiences that cause normal anxiety. Worrying about your health problems can be one of these experiences.
While it’s pretty clear to see that anxiety is normal and even beneficial, for many people it becomes a problem. The main difference between normal anxiety and problem anxiety is in the source and the intensity of the experience.
Normal anxiety is intermittent and is expected based on certain events or situations. Problem anxiety, on the other hand, tends to be chronic, irrational and interferes with many life functions. Avoidance behavior, incessant worry and concentration and memory problems may all stem from problem anxiety. These symptoms may be so intense that they cause family, work and social difficulties.
Please know that we understand your worries and hope that once the ear problem is solved your anxiety will return to normal levels.
Kindly,
