Health anxiety

Can anyone tell me the physical symptoms they get from panic attacks and stressing over what you worry about? Just so i can relate to what you guys feel?

Thank you...

Hunter,
I've had anxiety most of my life and my symptoms pretty much ditto what AJG said. The symptoms can really scare you into being certain that you have some awful disease even after the doctor has confirmed that you don't. The tricks that anxiety can play with your mind can sometimes be as frightening as the symptoms. That's why the coping resources are so important.

I can agree with all of what's been said above!! I just posted myself about having severe anxiety/depression alot lately and it seems either I get the mental anxiety/panic or I obsess over some physical symptom that I'm convinced is life threatening. I find this forum to be very therapeutic tho....everyone here understands like no one else can....even a therapist (who really doesn't know what we're suffering from). You will begin to learn that you are in a group of people with all the same fears and crazy symptoms and the only ones who can honestly relate to what you're going through. So keep posting here and I hope you find the same comfort that I do when I truly feel at the end of my rope.

Hi Hunter, agreed with AJG and others. Besides, depending on my ongoing fear at that time, I can totally feel the symptoms of the condition I fear.

We are here to support each other. Health anxiety is a very disabling psychological disorder and a tiresome issue for people around us. Though, it can be managed with coping skills and therapy. And medication, if you prefer.

Are you getting any therapy help or meds?

Hi

Anxiety can cause all sorts of both physical and mental symptoms and to many to list here they are also good at mimicking other diseases so if you have health anxiety it can make your life a misery.

If you are not taking medication I would recommend you look into therapy such as CBT to help you get your anxiety under control.
