Recently I've had a ton of health anxiety panic. Basically it started when I had a wicked wicked cold. Had one swollen lymph node with a severe case of sinusitis and an ear infection. Long story short, I feel better and that lymph node has gone all the way down, but the health anxiety has not. Some history: recently I was laid off, and after the cold went away the obsession with the lymph node seems to have gone to other issues: every headache = brain tumor, etc.
I KNOW I am anxious. I have a history or worrying and depression, but until now it has been manageable.
what's happening today? I am having some random tingling in my upper lip. Like a numbness. Maybe 3 times today. Is that normal? With extreme anxiety, I've heard nearly anything is possible. sometimes it'll go up toward my nostril.
I just want to get a handle on this. I have done CBT in the past and I know if I can start living in the moment this will go away. I workout daily but haven't been able to do to traveling for 2 interviews this last weekend and the crazy weather here. Any help or reassurance would be awesome. Thank you. <3
