Hi all,
My wife reminded me of something last night what the doctor told us, which I forgot to share with you all.
Last time I visited the doctor, my wife asked the doctor a question "how common is health anxiety?".
I sat there and thought to myself, what a good question that was, I have never asked that him that.
My doctor replied "1 in 4 people in the doctors surgery wating room suffer from anxiety in some form or another".
I was pretty shocked by this as I thought I was the one and only person who suffered from health anxiety to visit my doctors surgery.
It just goes to show that we are not so unique after all. Some people might not be interested in this thread (sorry for putting it on) but
I thought I would share it with you all, just to show that we are not the only ones who run to to the doctors suffering with symtoms because
of our health anxiety and not to feel ashamed to why we visit our doctor, he sees it everyday.
