When you see someone have a heart attack on TV do you start having chest pains, palps and/or shortness of breath?
When you see that horrible stroke advert do you start feeling more dizzy and have shooting head pains?
If someone mentions cancer on TV do you become even more convinced you've got it?
Did you think you were at risk of pulmonary edema when Steven Gately died?
I do to all of the above. It's seriously p*ssing me off.
I just watched a heart attack on a soap, and I'm now feeling crap. Sure I will have one very soon.
The thing is, in the back of my mind I know its anxiety because of the timing, but that WHAT IF keeps shouting at me from the back of my mind.
I also think, anxiety is bad for my health, it puts stress on my heart, so by worrying about my heart it puts me more at risk, which makes me worry more, etc, etc,
I'm really struggling to break the cycle.
