Health Anxiety

Has anyone ever fully recovered from this? I’ve suffered 5 years of health anxiety, particularly around my heart.

I’m so drained of constantly thinking I’m going to die and that I’m the “chosen one” to die.

I have had CBT, hypnotherapy, counselling, read books and it just seems to linger on and is worse when I’m tired.

Pills won’t help as I will panic what they are doing to my body and the side effects.

I’m miserable.

The evidence is you have not died so there must be something inaccurate with your thinking - misinterpretation of bodily sensations- revisit your CBT techniques - you need to practice them to maintain/manage it
