Re: Spiralling
But health anxiety does make people selfish, or at least behave selfishly! The reason I got over mine was because I couldn't live with myself for how badly I was treating my poor husband. The fear gets under your skin and makes you neglect your friends and loved ones.
Tea and sympathy only go so far, and there are people who've been on this forum for well over a decade with exactly the same problems.
I don't want to be one of them, and I hope the OP here doesn't want to be one of them either.
