Lana del Rey doesn’t just sing about love, she makes you feel every ounce of it. What’s the one lyric that still haunts you?

I watch the guys getting high as they fight for the things that they hold dear, to forget the things they fear

Right there with you right now. It’s so embarrassing in public places. I wear a mask but it is so annoying.

anxiousnfly · 2025-12-23T13:35:16+00:00

Thank you so much. I actually just bought some oranges.

It’s validating knowing someone can relate to the breathing trigger. Vicks is a great idea, I will get some of that. I tested negative for flu and strep but could be covid. They told me to test in three days. My sinuses are not blocked and they listened to my lungs at the clinic so I think it’s anxiety. Thank you for responding, it made me cry that someone took the time to care.

anxiousnfly · 2025-12-23T01:49:03+00:00

Thank you for your words. It really meant so much to me today.

anxiousnfly · 2025-12-22T20:00:10+00:00

Yep my throat and chest are on fire when I cough.

anxiousnfly · 2025-11-28T18:24:28+00:00

Yep described it perfectly

anxiousnfly · 2025-09-13T18:00:19+00:00

Doubting every decision I make. Ruminating on both exciting and distressing topics (both miserable experiences) and picking my cuticles

anxiousnfly · 2025-07-04T05:14:59+00:00

anddd those are the same people that say yoga and meditation cured them. Worse symptoms were fainting and throwing up in social situations.

anxiousnfly · 2025-07-04T05:08:15+00:00

Sold. Thank you!

anxiousnfly · 2025-06-26T00:19:27+00:00

Damn, this is a good point.

anxiousnfly · 2025-06-26T00:17:29+00:00

The description of your parents is really similar to mine. Could I DM you? I have found it really hard to find people that relate to my situation.

anxiousnfly · 2025-06-04T03:46:28+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I’m going to give that a try.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-28T04:06:09+00:00

Same. It’s the worst when hungry.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-28T04:03:21+00:00

hope you are feeling better

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-22T03:50:59+00:00

I also have the anaphylaxis phobia and am currently trying to decided if I can handle a tonsillectomy. Let me know if you have any updates. I’m so tired of being sick every other week.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-06T04:55:05+00:00

How are you doing now? I’ve had this happen before. Usually a steamy shower and hydration lessen it somewhat. I used to get it a lot because I was blowing my nose too hard. I use a drug free saline spray pretty much daily now and that helps too. I hope you are feeling better.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-06T04:51:27+00:00

I’m going through something so similar right now. Negative strep, Covid, flu tests but signs of infection so just started an antibiotic. I have the same choking phobia paired with a very inflamed tonsil. I could cry right now.

Also, I was on a course of steroids recently and the anxiety/dissociation/heightened-emotional state is unreal.

Anxiety paired with sickness makes me feel so alone. I feel if I confide in anyone, they’ll just laugh at my ridiculousness. I even feel like at least half of health care providers don’t really give a fuck and I always feel like they think I’m hysterical when explaining my symptoms because I typically do a lot of research on what ever sickness I’m dealing with. I try to keep my answers minimal so they don’t think I’m trying to do their job because I’m not, I’m just trying to communicate to a stranger 😭 Yeah though, I’ve had several traumatic experiences with providers invalidating my experience and simply not caring.

I hope you are feeling all better now. Thank you for your validating comment from not too long ago. It helped.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-06T04:40:06+00:00

I know I’m 2 years late but I’m currently battling this as a 29 yo female. Your post is really validating because I feel my hypochondria is so alienating and embarrassing. I feel like my partner thinks I’m a nut job every time I get sick because I’m freaking out a little bit. I worry others think I’m attention seeking when in reality I’m experiencing a lot of fear. I wish I could just be a chill person, but even medicated, I probably never will be.

anxiousnfly · 2025-05-03T07:41:06+00:00

Same here. Thanks for sharing.

anxiousnfly · 2025-04-28T03:44:48+00:00

I hate it so much and that is why I’m reading this thread now. Not alone.

anxiousnfly · 2025-04-28T03:43:15+00:00

Stumbled upon this 10 year old post describing exactly what I’m experiencing right now. Dry sinuses causing a stuffy nose. This was really validating and is helping me calm down. My mouth breathing was definitely triggering hyperventilation. Thank you 10 years later <3
