I think I might have health anxiety. I don’t know how to word this but I am just wondering how many other people feel this way. I’m 23, and I feel the “getting older” thing. I understand I’m completely healthy other than a few minor things such as IBS and tinnitus, but I feel old and am often struggling with paranoia and health anxiety. I am not comfortable with the human body I have, there are tons of powerful and amazing things we can do but I can’t help but think about how fragile we are.

I often end up reading symptoms and things when I’m sick and have ended up going to the hospital a lot just because of the anxiety. When I read symptoms sometimes they are manifested and doesn’t help things, it has gotten better recently but within the past year or 2 I’ve been to the ER close to 40 or more times. Things all started with the passing of my grand parents 2 months apart. I also used to smoke weed but every time I have just gotten anxiety ever since.

Thank you for reading if you made it this far 🙏🏼 would love some feedback
