Hi!

I’m been medication-free for a year, but my anxiety has been gradually getting worse again til I reached a point where I found myself “ugly crying” in front of the GP asking for help!

I’ve suffered with health anxiety for over 2yrs now. All consuming, crippling, terrified of my own body health anxiety!

So anyway...I’m on day 2 of Prozac, and both days have been hideous! The “obsessive checking” side of my HA has come out of hiding hugely! In fact, I hadn’t realised just how well I’d suppressed that aspect of my HA, til now! My brain is in overdrive with intrusive, catastrophic thoughts that I seem to have no power over!

I knew things would get worse before they got better, but I didn’t expect this so soon?
I’m not sure how to get through 12 weeks of this!

Is this normal?
