I have real bad ha have for about 2years over many conditions.
Now it seems to have gone from that to fearing bipolar and skitzafrenia ( hearing voices ) phycosis.
I'm absolutlley petrified of it and constantly keep my ears cos of it as im just so obsessed and fearing the hearing voixes just like your obsess over cancer.
Has anyone else's ha gone in this way? My doctor says it's still health anxiety as it's still a 'health' fear. He also says its partly ocd as I obsess over it. He says ocd and ha are very similar.
I genuinely believe I'm in the beginning stages of a serious mental illness. It's horrible.
I get other stuff with it like depersonalization and derealiseation and intrusive thoughs, racing thoughts and what not. All adding up to me thinking I'm mad.
I can't go on like this I can't even leave the house without having a panic attack any more ;(
