I was on SSRI’s for many years (originally for depression) until I tapered off them. I then developed debilitating pure O OCD, panic disorder and health anxiety. I didn’t make a connection between my pure O and lack of serotonin until I watched this video. I went back on them and my pure O and health anxiety improved dramatically within a few days, it’s like my constant racing thoughts calmed right down. Thank you for sharing your story, you’ve really helped me. Thanks to Drew too, because I’m now able to stop myself from going into a full blown panic attack 99 percent of the time by following his advice of calm acceptance. Now I carry on with what I’m doing, accepting the adrenalin rush and within a few minutes I’m fine. The anxious truth has changed my life.

My body has been worn out for 20 plus years of anxiousness, super sensitive to every feeling in my body cant seem to get my body to stop over reacting physically it always used to me mental but now I'm so worn out for so long I cant even take any change much less a moment of stress, my body goes completely crazy sometimes I even laugh about it! Great video guys

Thank you so much for sharing your story Sarah! There is hope for those of us with health anxiety. Followed your KZfaq journey for a long time & so glad you are doing a lot better! ❤️

What a nice lady . Great for her sharing her story .

What an experience! Wow. What a nightmare!! I can totally understand how a real diagnosis is much easier to deal with than the obsessions of our minds.

I’m smiling so hard rn because I googled the flu shot as well and had that same panic lmao thank you Drew and Sarah for this video.

Don't listen to your thoughts if you do you will believe them. Thoughts are just thoughts, do not pay attention to them. Plus stop googling stop going to the doctor stop getting test done. Stop paying attention to your thoughts.

God bless you Sarah

What happens when your health anxiety so bad that your afraid to take medications? Sometimes u feel like you might be more anxious to feel normal because normal is not what your used too so u stop and body scan until you "snag" an odd feeling to concentrate on, oh my its ludacris!!

Sarah can I get in touch please? I've suffered health anxiety for 7 years. I live in the UK.

Your awesome Sarah

Hey Drew, great talk with Sarah, very positive, are you going to link her KZfaq account, as you said, so we can watch how she's come along ?......I'm a Brit so i would love to have a chat with her sometime, Thanks

Love the video and share! Awareness like this does more for others than we could imagine! Subbed to your channel and found inspiration here for mine! Keep doing you!
