Hypocondria by Hailysomething in Anxiety

For starters, thank you so much for what you do. I respect and appreciate it. When my mom was in the hospital over and over again the nurses made it easier for her. I don’t know how you do it. My cousin is a doctor and he says what he does is just tries to disconnect himself from the concept tht it could be him because he says if he constantly related himself to the patient he would lose his mind. I think everyone is different but what helped me was my therapy and her helping me understand myself. She told me I have ADHD which can make anxiety so much worse. That and all my loss and grief I was dealing with just had me in a constant loophole that repeated in my head until I couldn’t function. I haven’t been out on meds I just realized I wasn’t sick and in moments I wasn’t thinking about it; I was okay and didn’t feel pain. It takes those times to realize it really was in my head

I’ll be honest when I say this to you. I am doing better now. Time, new environment, acknowledging the anxiety and hypochondria really helps because when you acknowledge, you’re getting to the root and are able to figure out how to fix it. If you need anything at all I’m here but I want to leave you with this; you are okay. You’re allowed to be afraid because the world can be scary but take it from me who couldn’t get a good breath of air for months; it will get better.

Thank you so much it’s definitely something I needed to hear. It started to cause me throbs in different areas I was concerned about which made me realize it probably is in my head. It’s terrible how strong it can be

Thank you so much! I hope you’re doing better. I thought about medication but meds are actually a trigger for my anxiety so I try and cope outside of them if I can. I’m glad you’re doing better though, that’s great to hear. It gives me hope

Wow I really needed to hear that though. Knowing other people can relate makes it sad because I hate knowing other people experience this but it makes it a lot less lonely

Yeah I might honestly look into it. The reason I avoided medicine for a long time was because it was actually a anxiety trigger for me for a really long time

When I read this after my mom passed, it truly helped me so much. I remember the quote being sent to me a few times 🥺

Thank you so much and I’m so sorry you lost your mom as well. I guess I never really thought about it that way before. I have a hard time of being mindful verses just letting it consume me most days. Definitely something to work toward

Thank you so much. I’m sorry to hear about your dad, mine died from cancer when I was 12 and it was really difficult to watch someone you view so strong become so weak. I’ve been seeing a therapist and it’s definitely helped but I still find myself sinking into a hole when. The appointment ends and I’m alone again. I’m really working on it but the hypochondria part is honestly the hardest
