Hey,

I'm sorry you're going through this, I know how hard it is. I have Health OCD my health anxiety was so bad that I started getting compulsions frist checking then full blown OCD related to health. I don't know what to say other than you are not alone. I used to be terrible but then I had a 2 year gap and even though I am having a tough time I'm determined that it can get better you can get rid of it. I'm sorry I don;t know what else to say but you're not alone!

hi daniellemarie
i was 21 when i started and i am 42 now ,i had a basilar migraine attack that was like a stroke and it was the pill that caused it .i have been anxious ever since about health issues etc i just want to say i didnt know i had this untill last year really .ive always known i was anxiuos person ,its good you recognise this so young and hopefully you will be able to master it ,does your gp offer cognitive therapy if so grab it . i use smelling salts as my safety thing and when i had cbt i realised why .
my husband and now my children have been patient and i have tried not to pass stuff onto them ,my mum died when i was 11 and that didnt help . please try and get help as you are so young and i dont want you to be writing like me when you are 42 . all the best and welldone for writting to no more panic . i forget to say i have exactly the same feeling as you and thats when i have panic attacks .but i have had so many now i recognise it .and know i will be ok but its still frightening .
