Hello everyone!
It has been a good 3 or 4 years since I have visited healingwell.
I just wanted to let you guys know that you WILL get through your fight with anxiety. It is a day to day battle, but every one of these battles you get through will make you that much stronger in learning to accept and cope with your symptoms.
Anxiety cannot hurt you!! Yes it is very draining,but it can only hurt you if you let it.
I was bed ridden for over a year due to severe health anxiety. I didn't want to breathe outside air, eat any food, and could barely drink without thinking I was allergic to everything and my throat was going to close up and I would die.
I went through a year of CBT. I am on Zoloft and Xanax when I need it, but the thing that has helped me most is the people on this site. I know I could always count on someone to help talk me through an attack, even if it took days at a time.
5 years later and I'm back to let everyone know that this will get better. As long as you keep on fighting, and never ever give up fighting your own thoughts.
Don't get me wrong I still have my bad days..but now I push my fears to the side and I am able to eat drink and breathe outside. I honestly was at a point where I literally believed I was going to die every second.
For anyone that has health anxiety please feel free to chat with me!! Thank you healing well for all that you do :) ID be lost without the support of everyone <3
