am i the only one

for the last few days i have been dealing with 24/7 anxiety it seems

does anyone else worry or wonder that since they are so used to blaming all of their symptoms on anxiety that one day they are going to have something really happening to them medically and they wont think anything of it because we have health anxiety?

Yes I think this. It is unrealistic to think that we will go through life without having any medical problems. It's apart of being alive. What I have learned from my CBT exercises is that symptoms that persist and are really bothersome should be looked into by a doctor. Meaning longer than 2 weeks. Or of course if it's an emergency.
