That unfortunately has included times when I interpreted my anxiety symptoms as indicators that I had a serious health disorder. I guess some things that helps for me are these:</P> <UL> <LI>Getting a medical checkup so that I can be assured that there is nothing seriously wrong </LI> <LI>Understanding what anxiety does to my body </LI> <LI>Reminding myself that it is normal for bodies to have little problems every now and then</LI> <LI>Reminding myself that the worst case scenario is <EM>not</EM> the most likely scenario</LI> </UL> <P>If you look through our forums, you'll find others who have suffered from health anxieties as you do. You're certainly not alone and I hope this community brings you some comfort.</P> <P>Take care,<BR /> M</P> Mon, 22 Jun 2020 05:02:24 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/new-to-beyond-blue-suffer-anxiety-from-my-health-fears/m-p/491957#M40607 Emmen 2020-06-22T05:02:24Z
