Hi all , I have just been diagnosed with HA by a pychiratrist , I had a bad time a few years ago accompianed by a breakdown , my biggest fear by a mile was that I had some sort of cancer which was terryifying , I would weigh myself up to 20 times a day to reassure myself that I hadnt lost any weight , which then I realised I had OCD , from what I have read the two are closley related HA + OCD.
I managed to get over my fears of cancer or at least no be too impressed by them anymore , unfortuantly now all my fears are realted to mental illness , such as bipolar and schizophrenia , which are really scaring me at the moment , does anyone else suffer HA about their mental health rather than there physical health ?
I am currently on 20mg of prozac at the moment and my doctor wants to increase the dose to 40 then 60 , just to deal with the OCD and HA , but Im not so sure because really I want to get over this without the need of prozac , I am pretty upbeat usaully and positive so I want to come to terms with it without tablets.
Anyway enough of the life story , lol :) , just thought I would post a thred here to see if anyone can relate and would like to chat to people with this dreaded HA , I have found this site brilliant so thanks everyone who posts !
