Oh yes, you are not alone. I have both. Severe panic disorder with health anxiety and OCD . It sure is scary and that's why having many people to support is important. I have an amazing psychiatrist and therapist. My husband goes to a separate
Therapist to learn how to help me. Every
Test, appointment etc, is so frightening to me, I feel like I want
To be put in a padded cell.

What are your fears? How can we help you more? Do you have specific worries, health or generalized?

Please reply back and let us know. We want to be there for you and help and encourage you !

Blessings,
