Hi Jay Tee22,
Wellcome to our forums!
Yes I understand I had health anxiety quite severely I’d obsess over certain things on my body, I’d go and have them checked by a doctor and be told I was ok but I’d still obsess with so many what if questions….. my it was absolutely exhausting……… mine became quite severe in a point in my life I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( it’s a anxiety disorder) mine also became not just focused on health it moved to more intrusive thoughts that terrified me. The condition was a marathon to endure but it’s a marathon I won! I seeked professional help from a gp through to a psychiatrist I did a 8 week group therapy this therapy gave me the tools I needed to master my condition.
When I was in the depths of my condition I lost a lot of weight, I had too much going on inside my head to eat properly.
Now that I have recovered my weight has increased.
Have you ever seeked help for what you are going through?
If you haven’t I strongly encourage you to see your gp and discuss how you are feeling and how anxiety is affecting your life.
You could do a mental health plan together this will enable you to see a psychologist. I encourage you to see a clinical psychologist a clinical phycologist can diagnose a normal psychologist can’t.
Book a double appointment with your gp.
If I can recover then there is hope you can too with the correct help.
Here if you want to chat or have any questions.
