Hi I'm saria I'm 25 and I just need ppl to talk to that can relate to what I've been going though the beginning of last year I had a panic attack and I had symptoms that lasted 2 months all day everyday was very scary but I've been symptom free ever since March of last year but because of it I can't stop thinking the worst I mean when I distract myself it's a lot easier to deal with its just hard now because anything having to do with my chest or heart freaks me out I had an ekg and a chest xray done yesterday er doctor said everything looked fine he said maybe I sprained a muscle or pulled one but why did I get the pain 2 days ago I've worked at Safeway as a courtesy clerk for almost 1 year I get a great amount of excerise everyday I'm constantly walking and helping ppl lift stuff so my heart should be strong rite? Sorry this is long I just need someone who can understand me it's hard to get my mind out of a negative state

EMM,

We totally get it! The physical symptoms are hard to accept/ignore for certain.

Have you checked out our Resources here yet? If not, here is the link.

https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=9&m=104206

There is all sorts of great material there for self-help...and relief from worries such as health anxiety.

In fact...here is a great link that explains the anxiety=symptoms=more anxiety=more symptoms cycle.

Hello EnterMyMind, I'm not sure if I have welcomed you yet or not, if not Welcome. :) Please know that you are not alone any longer, we are here for you so vent away. We do care and understand, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Please look at the resource link that SC gave you along with the super scanner link, there is alot of resources that help with anxiety. If I can I would recommend the mindfulness video on health symptoms, I'll go grab the link and post if for you here. I love mindfulness, it helps me a great deal on bringing me back to the here and now and get out of my head. :)

You've come to a good place. Everyone here has nothing but support and will try their best to offer constructive advice. They have shared similar experiences and have a collective wealth of experience.

I have suffered a lot of health anxiety, but one thing to remember is that I have managed to get rid of it before, I can do it again. You sound like you are in the same boat.

When you get caught up in your head, it's sadly too easy to immediately imagine horrifying outcomes to what is more likely to be something like a pulled muscle, heartburn or even trapped wind.

As S.C and AngelLisa have said, please browse the resources. When I first joined, I was in a very dark place after suffering a relapse late last year and having a hard time getting back to remotely normal. I was actually considering admitting myself to a local mental health ward, I was so scared I was losing it. But, with the resources and continued support, I'm feeling better than I have in a long time.
