hi all
I am a new user to this site although I have been finding comfort from reading stuff in the forum.
I have been bad for 2 months now and started from getting a virus while heavily stressed from a death in the family plus my dad having a stroke. I became really panicky and upset and was worried about every ache or pain I got. Ive sinced been diagnosed with health anxiety. what I am finding hardest is that I am so up and down. I can be so happy (almost hyper) one minute and then its almost like my mind knows Im relaxing so it gives me a reminder of my worries. I had a bad reaction to anti d's which has done me a favour in some respects as I now feel I want to deal with this myself. Ive realised the mind is a powerful thing and Im battling it daily to get my old self back.
Ive had aches, pains, sore armpits, headaches, crying, snappy and all because of this anxiety. (obviously I have been to the doctor with all this as I need constant reassurance!) tests all clear so no reason to think there is anything wrong with me but still I cant get in into my brain.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
