I have anxiety and I'm always worrying about my health. I get painful migraines alot and pain alot of the times. I've gone to my doctor and she said on top of me having anxiety, I was iron deficient. I'm fine, most of the times when I have something to do but because I'm on summer vacation, I'm always sitting and thinking about my symptoms alot. I'm scared, I don't know what to do.

Hi CFA and welcome!

I would say the majority of our members have some amount of health anxiety...so know you have found a great place for encouragement and understanding! !

What if anything have you tried thus far for managing this issue?

Medication and /or therapy are two of the most common and effective treatments available.

Self-help is another great option. We have material specifically for health anxiety management in our Resources. See the first thread at the top of the main page...or let me know if you'd like the direct links and I'll post them!

Keep posting with us as well... we are here to listen anytime, and support is key!

Okay...well take a look at those self help anxiety links in our Resources and spend some time doing the suggested exercises...

...keep posting with us too.

This may be just what you need in order to feel better...and if you find you still are in need of help...you can talk to your doctor at that point about other options. (therapy, medication)

Talk to you soon,

S.C.
