So I've just realised it's been 10 years since I cured myself of Health Anxiety :yesyes:
To celebrate this milestone I've made my book 'How to beat Health Anxiety' completely free on Amazon this week (Monday to Friday). If you want to read how I cured myself, go on Amazon and type in How to beat Health Anxiety by Michael Evans.
I don't want to add the link until Nic has ok-ed it. There is no catch, it is free all week to download on Amazon.
If you don't believe me, have a read through my old posts to see how bad I was - I would wager my symptoms and mental state was worse than yours is now.
Here's one from 2009:
Stinker of a day today
One to forget for me.
Woke up feeling fine, but the day has been punctuated by bouts of chest tightness radiating to my neck, jaw and temples. A horrible constricting feeling. Guess what I diagnosed myself with when I googled this?
I have recently started doing push ups after basically doing no real chest exercises my whole life.
I HOPE I've strained my chest and neck muscles in such a way that is giving me angina symptoms, but my stupid mind can't shake the belief it's heart related.
Ive ended up getting some valium off the doc to relax me a bit, but it hasnt really worked. Nor has Ibuprofen.
The pain isnt strong enough to warrant a trip to the ER, so Im basically stuck with this horrible chest tightness and the EXTREME ANXIETY it brings with it.
Almost had a full blown panic attack earlier on.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
I am 100% cured of health anxiety. I did it without medication or CBT.
Please let my story give you hope that you too can get out of this vicious cycle, I know exactly how bad it can get but you can cure yourself of this.
