I come back to your videos when my anxiety plays up because it not only helps me feel calmer but also gives me hope .

You have no idea how helpful your videos have been for me. It's like I'm not the only one worrying about this and it was so comforting.

I'm 59 years old I've probably had health anxiety for most of that time. My therapist , gave me a very similar strategy to the way you cope with your anxiety. I also look at it as playing chess against yourself. I really admire the way you're dealing with your anxiety the way you come to terms with the thought that it will probably never go.,, you found a way of reprogramming some of those negative thoughts and keeping Heather in a box, Xxx

This helped so much! It really does feel like you're in prison with health anxiety sometimes but I'm pushing through. Thanks for this video!

Thank you for sharing your experience. My health anxiety has been stemmed from emetophobia. Now through the pandemic, my health anxiety fears covid, flu etc. The basic illnesses. Pre-covid I’d take cold medicine and move on. Now I fear it. I want to play around with distancing my anxiety.

I thought I had a form of health anxiety, turns out after a couple of therapy sessions, I was also diagnosed from a form of PTSD (caused by watching my dad get sicker and passing away from his illness) as well as depression, people make me feel ashamed of it, because they look at me like I'm crazy. I always convince myself I'm sick with a type of cancer, I'm co.stsnyky checking my body, and bodily fluids for abnormalities. Something as simple as seasonal allergies gives me anxiety spikes, but therapy has been helping a lot.

Health anxiety is a beast, I can;'t stop googling I worry about every symptom I get

Your videos help me so much. Ive been going through benzo withdrawal/ tapering for the past year and it's caused my blood pressure too be out of this world. Which of course my health anxiety has made me completely obsessed with my high blood pressure spikes and the damage it is doing too me. If it's not one thing too worry about it's another!

A lot of things you mentioned in your video was so on point . I think I’ve had every symptom . My family are worried but I manage to cope better than 6 months ago with the help of CBT therapy and a well informed health and well-being coach. It’s so difficult to imagine how easy breezy thoughts would be before health anxiety. Sometimes I feel I’ve recovered but over the last week I realise I haven’t as having cold / flu symptoms and completely exhausted. I’m convinced I’m not ok. It’s a real set back and wish I could fully accept x

I love that you have Heather, I will talk to my therapist about that, I think it is amazing to not let anxiety define you, because a lot of time, I wonder if this is just me and my personality or anxiety shouting at me.

Lots of wisdom here. From my studies in psychology it is also very sound. I definitely have things to share about these thoughts in our next coaching session. I enjoyed .

It's honestly awful. I've been off work for a month and have convinced myself I can't breath 24/7 in August it was a brain tumour 🙄

Spot on 👍the more you think about the worse case scenario the worse it gets to a point your in bed waking up tired I found the more I did to keep myself busy the easier it got as I'm not thinking about it but it takes time it comes and goes with me now but the fact I seen the improvement I focused on that as a positive and you build on that positive ill have bad dreams some days and that sets it off but I don't look at it the same way as i use to look at it hope that helps

ty for this, currently struggling with health anxiety myself atm and it is hard but I'm trying to cope, trying to hide it from the wife which is hard can't lie. I liked that you called the anxiety a name, might have to give mine a name so I can distance myself from the anxiety :)))) have an amazing day

Omg I have double calf twitching since august 2021 24/7. Sometimes it’s calmer and sometimes it goes nuts. Feet feel like an electrical storm when I go to bed sometimes. Anxiety is super high

Cherelle what was your experience with anxiety medication

@cherellethinks 2 жыл бұрын

I tried quite a few! Sertraline which is an SSRI was okay and then I was temporarily on Diazepam too. For me personally, none of them were THAT great. They helped to take the edge off a little bit though. Everyone responds so differently to them!

@@cherellethinks thanks so much for replying I’m on propanolol and get cold hands and feet my experience with them is that they make me feel dispersonlisation which is scary 😂 but we go strong ♥️
