How Many People Experience This?

[lamentinglaura]

When my health anxiety is at its worst I have myself convinced that I'm dying and then I can't function at all. I don't want to leave my home, I can't really concentrate on anything, I can't really do anything other than ruminate on my fears and I spend my time in terror. Does this just happen to me or do others experience this?

I feel like this alot of the time, although i usually can make myself function so maybe not quite as bad as you. I have never had a full day where I have not worried about my health in some way.

It really is a terrible affliction!

I seem to have several good or ok days and then have a few dark days such as you describe. My heart goes out to you because I know what you are suffering :(
