Hi all,
Having some health anxiety at the moment and getting myself completely stressed out so hoping that by posting here I'll feel a little less alone. I've been really lucky this week and managed to go out more etc but since yesterday I've felt really quite ill. I do have an on-going genuine illness so it could be related to that but I also have a bad sickness phobia so any type of illness freaks me out. We have a houseful of people here on Christmas Day which I'm dreading (horrible person, I know) and I just really don't want to be or feel ill for it so it could be anxiety induced or at least worsened because of the anxiety.
Aargh, sorry for the moaning. I just wish that anxiety didn't cause psychosomatic illnesses, almost feel like I could handle nerves but the feeling genuinely ill because of it is just horrible and I feel like it's that part that I can't control at all.
Hope everyone is handling Christmas better than I am :blush: and managing to enjoy themselves as much as possible.
