This is my first post on here and i’m little bit nervous but hopeful in hearing others experiences and having some support.
I’m 20 years old and lost my job due to Corona Virus. Ever since the virus started I have been experiencing very bad anxiety. I feel like it’s always been here but with all this time alone, I have so much time to pay attention to it. When I get anxious I immediately get chest pains ,( which leads me to think I have Corona or a collapsed lung) my stomach cramps, (which makes me think I have an appendicitis) and I get a choking like feeling which makes me feel like Incan’t breathe. I’ve been doing therapy and talking about it more but every time I start getting better it comes back at full force again leading me into a downward spiral of self diagnosing myself with diseases and not being able to get off my phone and distract myself. I could really use some advice or personal story’s or overcoming health anxiety[emoji3590] I try very hard to be as positive as possible but sometimes I feel so helpless. I’m not longer afraid of asking for help though because I know I am not alone and that always helps to know even if it’s just a little bit.
