"Crying Wolf"

I am a relatively young A/P sufferer. I have "cried wolf" in regards to my health for so long that I am worried that if I have a "real" physical problem in the next 30 years I will just brush it off as anxiety and not seek medical care. Can A/P sufferers differentiate a real problem from the day to day suffering we experience?

 Oh My this is so me I often wonder how am I going to know if it is real or just panic hope someone has some insight to this question

you all talk about having anxiety over thinking that you have all these major health problems and i don't do that. i know everyone is different. but it is like i get panicy and anxiety from just life in general. it is like it is all toooooooooo overwhelming and i can't stop any of it from just taking over my thought. yes i have physical problems with it like fatigue and not sleeping or sleeping all the time. i get sick to my stomach but that is it.

so am i the odd one or is it that everyone is just that totatlly different........oh and i didn't say that to mean that anyone else is odd either (sorry)

Health Anxiety is something most of us go thru I dont call myself a hypochondraic I know I have the physical issues I deal with them each day
the anxiety I deal with in a differnt way
We can change our ways of thinking IMO and we will know ( I do ) whether we are physically ill from ap or if it is something else entirely
My 2 cents

Anxiety and panic can cause real health issues. I'm not understanding the "crying wolf" thing either. Anxiety can cause the heart to speed up, you sweat and can cause lightheadedness in some people. It can cause stomach problems, ulcers, headaches etc.

If you'd expand on what symptoms you experience we all might be able to help you better. I hope you are doing alright since you haven't posted to any of the replies. We are all here for support.
