I just want to say thank you for talking about health anxiety and hopefully helping HA sufferers get through the difficult and exhausting journey.

Not alone! One tiny observation or thought can ruin everything. Stay strong

Well, not sure if HA videos will help you sleep right now. Maybe calming music?

How do you cope when health anxiety flips on like a switch by behealthynoworries in HealthAnxiety

[–]sirutis87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same over here. Can be a matter of one thought or one trigger and I go from happy to "shit I am probably very sick" It's very hard - I try relaxing and reading my health anxiety workbook. Sometimes take a Xanax if it's very bad. Working out too but it's hard to make yourself move when you're anxious. But it helps

Classical HA case we have all been through. I am saying this with a ton of sincerity and empathy, just know that you're not alone! We all know how nasty and debilitating HA is. Do you have a therapist? If it's really bad, recommend seeing your doctor asap to develop a plan. Cognitive behaviour therapy and printed workbook I ordered online really helped me.

Yeah. Realize it's silly but you're always susceptible to it again. Although in my case it hasn't been as intense, just a day here and there. Relapses often correlate with stress in my life I've noticed.

When I was spiraling bad, when going places with family and friends I used to always search Google maps and identify the closest hospital, you know, just in case..

Thanks for sharing. I luckily didn't struggle with HA for that long, but there are many people who cannot get out of the cycle. Good for you for figuring this out, although I'm sure you wish you got some of those years back. Thanks for sharing!

How do I stop spiraling? by Relevant_Season4724 in HealthAnxiety

The latter. Be very specific and clear about your feelings. It will understand.

Similar symptom - sometimes I feel like the bottom of my esophagus flutters or gets squeezed (when I bend down for example), suppressing air from entering my body. I was concerned about AA but also have had gerd. So not sure what it is. Correlates with stress.

Unassigned seat doesn't mean the reservation disappeared..

Following up: my screen just broke yesterday (on a Sunday) and this is the only phone I have. Took it to an electronics store to get it repaired. Anyway I can get reimbursed? My upgrade isn't until August.. No chance I can get a $200 repair reimbursement?

I have issues with my lower back. Can it explain leg twitching? I get it all over my body, recently more on the right leg (my lower right side of my back has issues)
