Hi all. Newcomer here, long time sufferer of health anxiety. What used to be hypochondria turned into full blown HA when I had kids. Now if I’m not worrying about something happening to them, I’m worrying about something happening to me and leaving them alone and traumatised.

It’s never ending. As soon as one disease is eliminated, something new pops up to obsess about. I refuse to accept “nothing” is wrong with me - I say “nothing” because obviously anxiety is something but everyone dismisses it because it’s not life threatening. But it really is debilitating. I only need to see something happen to someone to think it’s happening to me. A friend got diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and there I was suddenly having CT scans. I saw someone on Instagram have MS, and now I’m on an MS road, stressing with worry and just generally thinking all sorts of horrible things.

Health anxiety sucks. Hi!

Hey :) I used to be on the original thread but fortunately my anxiety calmed down for a while, but it's back now! Is this thread still active or has it moved over to WhatsApp? Thanks!

Can I join the what's App group please

Satsunday · 09/09/2021 11:34

Ok thanks. Please could you pm me the link? Xx

3boyshere · 09/09/2021 11:29

As far as I am aware you are anonymous but maybe one of the other members who know a bit more than me could send you a message with more detail x

Satsunday · 09/09/2021 11:19

Thanks so much. I'm a bit worried about not being anonymous on WhatsApp though so I'm not too sure about it. Maybe there's a way I can join without my profile showing 🤔

3boyshere · 09/09/2021 11:13

Hello I struggle with health anxiety and have done for many years. I have joined a WhatsApp group which is a spin off from this I will send you the link so you can ask one of the administrator to be added as I have only just joined x

Satsunday · 09/09/2021 10:58

Hi is this still an active group? Do you find joining helps or does it make the anxiety worse? I have terrible health anxiety but coupled with ocd it sometimes feels like I will never get out of it.

Would appreciate advice about the best groups to join and if anything actually helps or if people find it easier just to not talk about it.

Thanks

Nikki360 · 06/09/2021 09:18

Thankyou so much I have sent you a email x

Goolies · 06/09/2021 08:17

Nikki360 · 06/09/2021 08:11

3boyshere · 06/09/2021 08:01

KAP232 · 05/09/2021 22:09

[quote 3boyshere]@KAP232 i know exactly were you are coming from the anxiety goes through the roof and the mind plays awful games. If I was you I would have a cuppa go to bed see your son off to school they check when your anxiety is lower. Believe you me I know how difficult this is xx [/quote]

Goolies · 05/09/2021 22:07
