Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Health anxiety

Does anyone struggle with health anxiety? This is new for me (although I've had other anxieties in the past) and I'm looking for someone feeling the same things as I am.

Yes I do. It's new for me as well. It just really started within the last month .. everything little I feel like ache or pain I think is serious and freak out or the chest pains I have everyday from the anxiety make me think I'm having a heart attack so you're not alone. It's hard but it does get better. I suggest checking out YouTube .. anxiety guy or trey Jones and there's many many other helpful videos on there.

Hello Smatts. Welcome to DS.

I go through bouts of my anxiety focusing on health yaddahs. A not so funny thing about anxiety is that it is a multi-tasking demon. There doesn't seem to be anything my anxiety can't over-think.

Isn't Health Anxiety required by Coronaville's marshal law? At the very least, it be a gnarly side effect of that particular *cure*.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

Anxiety is natural. Anxiety is a part of us.

So, when we overload thinking about a particular topic, we will experience our levels of anxiety associated with words, images, and feelings surrounding the topic.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

Good morning everyone... this is another day and I’m glad I get to read everyone of you guys comments.. yes, I did wake up with anxiety once again but I’m choosing to fight it as much as I can or just learn how to deal with it. I think I’ve chose to wake up every morning feeling positive about the fact that I know I have it, instead of rolling myself up in a ball and laying down the whole day.. I hope all you guys are good and being positive. We will get over this soon and we will feel better then ever

Yes I’m having that lately as well. Having GI problems so badly and going to doctor for tests. Each time I go I worried about the worst possible outcome. So stressed about my health. And can’t tell if the health issues cause the anxiety or the anxiety causes the health issues. Either way it’s awfull. Wake up every day lately jumping out of my skin and spending the day rolled up with stomach pain. This too shall pass at some point. We are all in this together

No I don’t have health anxiety per say. In the summer I get anxious that I might become dehydrated or get heat stroke because of some medications I take. But generally, my health is good so I don’t worry
