Does anyone have any experience with health anxiety I have suffered with it for a few years it comes in waves and sometimes more severe than others but it's really starting to take over my life especially now I have 2 children I can never enjoy the moment and be present with them as I'm constantly thinking one of them will die from and illness and how tragic it will be it's almost as if doing things with them triggers me as I love them so much I just start thinking what would I do if they wasn't here or what would happen if I couldn't see them grow up or have to leave them I hate it it's everyday and I'm just sick of it does anyone else suffer with this ?

Oh, that sounds awful. Have you tried medication or counselling ?

I did get paranoid when my son was really little. I had OCD about checking him in the night

I have told the go but I'm either just offered medication witch I do take but it's made me feel quite blank I just want to enjoy and cherish the moments with my child without thinking I'm the back of my need what if they have a horrible illness I just think to myself people actually can wake up in the morning and not think this stuff it's only something I could dream of health anxiety and ocd is just suffocating it takes the joy out of your life I'm worried I'll always feel this way
