    Questionnaire inside my anxiety book...!

    Members,

    I purchased a book called 'It's all in your head', which was recommended on this forum.

    I performing the task of the first worksheet, which was a questionnaire (which I have detailed below for you to look at).

    I was shocked that I scored 14/14, which does state I'm suffering quite badly with anxiety.

    Does anybody else perform a high score?

    Well I wouldn't Tony but then health anxiety is not one of my issues. I would expect most people with health anxiety to score pretty high with those questions.

    Are you finding the book helpful?

    I answered 'yes' to most of those - i too suffer from health anxiety. I tend not to believe drs and I'm afraid i do the worst thing and look up symptoms on the Internet - I have had so many things from just looking up stuff, I've also found out about things that I never knew existed and now I wish i hadn't!!!! It is scary isn't it!! I'm awaiting some CBT to help me deal with it.
