Does anybody else find their health anxiety gets worse when other stress is going on? I've noticed I have an uptick in health anxiety every time I have a car breakdown, for instance. I distinctly remember having a very bad HA episode twenty years ago right after my car quit running in the parking lot at Target and had to be towed to the shop. This week my car had an electrical short on the way home from work and I had to get it towed off the side of the road. Then the very next day we had something overheat at work and our offices were filled with smoke. I've been in an HA rut every since. There's something about stuff breaking down that makes me worry about breaking down physically myself!
