    HA worse before big events?

    Does anyone else find that their health anxiety spirals out of control in the run up to big events?
    Why is this?
    And how do we control it?

    I always get like this a few months before Xmas, birthdays, holidays etc and it is ruining them!

    Yep, this is totally me. Heck, my HA began tweaking when I knew my hair appointment yesterday was going to be a long one! I think it's because HA is a misplaced coping strategy our minds have devised to deal with stuff beyond our control, so it flares any time that would normally be stressful.

    Always! I'm always worried I (or someone in the family) will get sick before a trip or important event. I'm on such high alert for that I feel like it really ups up the hypersensitivity.
