Absolutely! Videos relating to health anxiety are one of very non-toxic comment sections I've experienced. Health anxiety has taken it's toll on me! Convinced I have cancer, got tested of course. We know we have to block it out, but then you think "well what if it really is something, but I ignore it?" The irony of the situation is that the stress we cause ourselves really can be detrimental to our health! Stress can absolutely ravage the body! Hope you and anyone who reads this are coping the best we can!

I constantly worry. I’ve been to the doctor back to back. I constantly expect hearing the worst. Please you guys. Don’t torture yourself with this. Your okay. Please calm your soul. Rest your thoughts. Trust God. We expect the worst but most times what we are worrying about don’t even be the case. Anxiety is like walking around with a umbrella everyday expecting it to rain. You’ll be okay keep your head up. Coming from a person who suffers from this terribly . I get it .

I’ve convinced myself I have cancer this week. Last week it was MS, the week before it was a lung cyst. It’s completely exhausting. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind! Edit: hey guys! Can’t believe the amount of likes and comments this has. I just want to let you all know that I no longer feel this way. I’ve been doing SO much work to heal myself and I truly don’t feel anywhere near as anxious as before. Some days it creeps up on me trying to drag me back! But not often :)

5 things you might do in the health anxiety circle: 1. Meaning making: When having feelings, symptoms do not ask yourself: Why am I feeling this? What does that mean? - Instead say: It is just a sensation / this is anxiety speaking / just because I think stuff does not mean it's real 2. Catastrophizing: if something is uncomfortable or worrisome you take it to the extreme. - What to do instead: Label it as catastrophizing. 3. Googling - Googling can worsen your anxiety. Set a limit on reassurance seeking / consult a doctor once 4. Getting unnecessary tests 5. Seeking certainty - Accept that uncertainty is part of life Thank you Emma for these great videos

I wish I could copy this. Need to keep affirming this

Literally crying for the 6th time today and this makes me feel better. It's torture. It's incredibly frustrating and it makes me feel crazy. I'm only 17 and health anxiety has been making me miss out on things I could be enjoying. It's worrying that I might die at any moment everyday all the time. Done an EKG and a blood test recently, nothing wrong with them. Saw two doctors (primary care and psychiatrist), primary care doctor examined me and checked my blood test, pressure, oxygenation, bpm, and told me I should see a therapist because I have severe anxiety, and she even told me my chances of dying from a heart attack or having cancer are almost impossible because of my age and lifestyle (I exercise constantly, my family doesn't have a history of those and we actually have a genetic construction that makes our immunity very high, and eat a very healthy diet; I don't drink soda for example). Psychiatrist and psychologist diagnosed me with severe anxiety, illness anxiety and OCD. Just typing this comment and seeing the hundreds of people who feel the exact same things as me is so comforting, so thanks everybody who left a comment, and thanks for the video.

I have diagnosed myself with many different types of cancer over the years. I have spent countless nights crying believing I’m dying. I have thought I have tumors, and poke myself around trying to see if I feel the tumors… I have thought I rather just die now instead of living like this. I cannot be there for my children the way I should from the depression and worry I’m dying. So they’d be better off without me. Not that I have thought about ending my life but I have thought I wish I didn’t wake up daily. Just forever sleep. I think loneliness has gotten the worse out of me.

I get what you mean. But the trick with meditation is to try to empty your mind. It know it's hard when you're somebody who's dealing with anxiety 24/7 but it's about not allowing those thoughts to enter your mind. No matter how much they want to cross your mind, NEVER allow it. If you keep that trick up, it'll work in your favor. I've been a long time meditator myself , been meditating for as long as I can remember now but even I would get those intrusive thoughts come to me from time to time. It's just about not giving it the power to penetrate. It's a hard task at first but it gets better the more you meditate. And your mind will be at ease and it won't bother you anymore.

I went to the ambulance on my birthday I could not breath. I was sure it was a heart attack. They told me nope looks like it could of been a panick attack.

You could pin it down on being exposed to death and stressful situations whilst being really young, but since covid I haven't been the same. Covid rlly pushed me back from years of progress. Being isolated from my social life and the outside world led me into being chronically online on TikTok. The algorithm showed me people who had been diagnosed with my worst fears, telling you to 'listen to your gut'. I can't even leave the house on my own anymore. I just want to feel present and safe within my body. This video and the comments feel like a big warm hug rn.

I've had "difficulty breathing" on Wednesday, March 8, 2023. It felt like a mild-ish restriction in my nasal path and tightness in my chest. Told my parents how I was feeling and got rushed to the ER at 10 pm. I was given 3 nebulizer doses, anti-acid, an ECG, and an x-ray. The x-ray turned out fine. The nebulizer helped a lot in getting rid of the restriction I had in my nasal area and helping me breathe better. But, the ECG showed something slightly off. The doctors discharged me just before 1 am and told me and my parents that nothing was wrong other than something was a bit off with my ECG. They told us to refer to a cardiologist if it happens again. After that event, I can safely say that I've got HA. The next day and forth, I started monitoring my heartbeat, breathing, vision, etc.. Every small body event that used to be normal before March 8th triggered panic in me. An example would be standing up and blacking out sometimes after sitting for long periods of time. I used to ignore those temporary blood pressure drops, but now, it triggers me. In summary, I couldn't go back to my normal activities completely because I was anxious and afraid of heart issues (and other complications) after that day. On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, I woke up in the middle of the night and started focusing on my breathing. Within 5 minutes of trying to calm myself down and multiple attempts to fall back asleep, the cold sweat breaks in. My heart rate went up, my body numbed all over, had tunnel vision, and panic ensued. I thought to myself "it's happening again, I need to go to the ER" and woke up my mother. She seemed calm about it and told me to just calm down. I sat on the couch for 20 minutes and eventually calmed myself. My breathing and heart rate went back to normal and I went back to sleep with my father in the other room for company. Then came Monday, March 20, 2023, when we went to the doctor's office after searching for a cardiologist a few days before just to make sure there wasn't anything actually wrong and (hopefully) get rid of my anxiety. The doctor told me that she found nothing wrong other than something was slightly off with my second ECG on the same day (which confirms the ER doctor's findings from my first ECG). She told me that my readings were mostly normal, but, there was actually something of slight concern about my ECG and asked if we could do a 2D echo on Friday, March 24, 2023. We said yes because I had no classes on Fridays. Before we left, she reminded me "stop thinking (about your heart)" and to focus on something else or my usual activities. School helped a lot in distracting my mind, by the way. On the day of my echocardiogram, she found something different about my heart. She showed me and my mother the screen and explained that I have mild MVP (mitral valve prolapse) and mild mitral valve regurgitation (a tiny amount of blood was leaking through the valve because it isn't closing properly). After hearing the diagnosis, my heart rate went up due to panic. I thought to myself "Oh no, heart valve surgery incoming!". She saw my increased heart rate on the monitor and told me to calm down. She explained to me that mild MVP isn't a cause for concern and that many people have it too. After going back to her office for the results, she advised me to start a workout plan and to maintain a healthy diet. She once again reassured me that she, a trained cardiologist, is not worried and that I should not worry too. After that day, I felt really very relieved and happy and most of my anxiety went away. But still, there's a small piece of that anxiety and trauma that remains and it sometimes comes back to haunt me in subtle ways. Like when I go to bed or my mind isn't busy, I switch manual breathing for a few seconds and/or I try and feel my heartbeat to check if I have arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). Or when I do activities that raise my heart rate, I start focusing on it too much. If you've read this far, I salute you. I just wanted to share my experience to hopefully help kick health anxiety out of my mind. If you have tips to share, please reply. I would appreciate any help.

HI, your story is so much like mine! And as you said, doctor said its all ok and to live my life normally, to train and not to worry... But those 2 weeks of monitoring ECG at home 24h/day pushed me into panic attacks, worry and crying. After 2 weeks my doctor looked at ecg and said I have some palpitation or added heart beat, but it isn't dangerous. Now I am working to overcome the fear and anxiety about that. I have trouble sleeping. I worry going places alone or far away from medical help, It's really annoying :) Bu am working on getting better. I wish you all the peace and calmness in life. We are ok :)

We actually have too much unverified medical information on the internet. I was panicking recently about a blood test I took. Many internet articles made it sound like I was about to die soon. Subsequent blood testing showed that it was a false reading affected by fasting and other factors. We need to be very careful when we read medical articles without any medical training or experience.

I watched another video on Health Anxiety here on YT about 4 people who had severe health anxiety in the UK. One young lady was convinced she had or was going to get cancer because her father died of cancer. She did all 5 of the things Emma mentions in this video.... She was a complete nervous wreck who constantly wanted 100% re-assurance that she was OK. The therapist she was working with told her "You fear cancer taking away your life...There IS SOMETHING taking away your life (health anxiety), but it's not cancer". Wow! so true!!

I don’t know you personally but, perhaps, you search things online about your health? Regardless of how long you have been doing it I would recommend you stop (which is much easier said than done) if you find yourself turning to it for a sense of certainty. The sooner you quit searching things online about your health the sooner the obsession stops. If I am wrong that you search things online about your health frequently well than my bad sorry for waisting your time. I started searching things about my health right before fall of 2020, my freshman year of college. I can tell you that down the road it does get a lot better but it can only start when you make priorities to stop giving into bad habits like searching google for health advice or assuming that every palpitation is the beginning of a heart attack. I wish you the best of luck in your journey to dismantling anxiety! Remember, it doesn’t disappear over night!

so true! i wish i had this video a few years back when my health anxiety was so bad i could barely move without wanting to cry. so many things i tried didn't work like mantras or meditating (which just forced me to focus on the symptoms even more). when i learned to sit with the feelings and ignore them thats when i really started to get better. i used to spend months obsessing over the same illness to the point where i never thought about anything else and felt ashamed to even talk about it because i knew it was so delusional. i would give so much meaning and power to the symptoms and try to figure out why i was feeling them. i thought if i thought about the feelings constantly then i was "overcoming my fear" LOL. it took me way too long to realize that ignoring them was the only course of action because it got to a point where i basically trained my brain to think that if i feel an uncomfortable sensation im unable to function. teaching myself that i can live despite uncomfortable symptoms was a lot of hard work but it paid off so much. now i can immediately sense that initial wave of anxiety that tells me to google things and look for reassurance and instead of acting on it i just let it be and acknowledge that its just my brain being silly. it feels so good to have that power back. really great video! and to anyone reading this whos going through the same thing, it REALLY does get better. in 2017 my health anxiety was so bad i considered checking myself into a mental hospital every day because the delusion was so severe. a few years later im doing so much better and thats without any therapy! i did it all by myself! if you're too poor to afford therapy there is STILL hope. i did it and you can too!

I've struggled a lot with health anxiety the last 10 yrs. A big issue for me is feeling nauseous and having stomach aches. For me, when some new sensations arise out of nowhere, it's not that i necessarily believe i have stomach cancer or some other serious problem, it's just that the possibility is terrifying. I'm forced to consider my own mortality and that sooner or later i will in fact die. The mere possibility that i may have a serious problem is enough to stress and depress me a lot. I usually end up thinking that if it doesn't go away then I can't keep ignoring it long-term just in case it is serious, and so I'll have to eventually see doctor. The prospective stress of making appointments and having tests is very unpleasant. So i end up telling myself it's probably nothing and really hoping the symptoms will go away on their own, and i wait weeks before eventually giving up and going to the doctor. It's just really hard when you're terrified of dying and the mere possibility of a serious problem is enough to derail you.

I've only had health anxiety since 2020 and that was due to my first panic attack but I cannot imagine having this for decades and decades because it's so debilitating and I just want to say that I truly TRULY feel for you. And I'm so sorry that this is happening to you I started having it back in 2020 when the world was going crazy and I'm already complaining so much about it because of the long lengthy list of anxiety symptoms It has truly changed me as an individual and sometimes it feels like I've already gone completely insane from it and there's no turning back now so I cannot imagine what it has done to you over all these long years. I really am truly sorry with what you're going through. Sometimes I wish I could help people and do more but all I can really do is offer up my time to try to engage with as much people as I possibly can because I would hate to have to go through this alone. But I'm always here if you need somebody to talk to. I'm a great listener :)

I’m a 26 year old male and I never had health anxiety until 2018. Here’s an example that #5 absolutely validates: I recently had a fellow I do business with tell me that people my age “need to watch out for testicular cancer”. It triggered me, of course, and I began to exam myself after googling. I discovered something known as the “epididymis”, and immediately thought it was a lump (catastrophize). I went to my D.O. (Physician), who is also a male, and asked him to examine me to see what I was feeling. He felt around and said it was normal anatomy. Now, my mind is racing thinking: “what if he didn’t feel EXACTLY what I’ve been feeling, and he missed it during examination?” So, in short, no it does not help to seek reassurance constantly. It can throw you in another cycle of hell. But, as my good friend who is an ophthalmologist told me, “Chad, are you really going to question a man who attended medical school and residency?” Just relax. I’m trying as hard as you are!

I'm so glad you talked about that feeling of doom. I used to get these panic attacks in the middle of the night. I was convinced I was being warned I was going to die. I would literally sob. It went on for a while until I told my husband who was like, "You need to see a therapist." It did not even occur to me that it was a panic attack. I wish this was talked about more openly... especially in religious communities, where those types of feelings can be blurred with what you believe are warnings or promptings or whatever you want to call them.

I've had it ever since the beginning of the year due to a traumatic experience with my heart. I was fine, but now every time there's a sting in my chest that is probably caused by my bad posture and fact that I don't walk a lot, I think I'm having a heart attack, and well, you know the drill. Literal torture. It's great that I'm not alone.

I'm recovering from my most recent health scare. I've been able to sleep well for the past two weeks and I'll still sometimes get the thought of "what if it is cancer?" and my heartrate goes up. I'm usually by myself when these intrusive thoughts kick in and I like to audibly tell myself "calm the f*ck down. You're not dying. The doc said that the cancer you think you have is not common for someone that young. Your blood test came back good and the doc deemed further testing uneccessary and not worth it considering how expensive they are. You're good. Now you're gonna chill the f*ck out and focus your time on what you're doing right now." I know talking to myself seems weird but it helps me a lot. I'll go over that same paragraph in my mind whenever I'm in public and that helps put me at ease. I thought I was dying of Brain Cancer during my first health scare about 4 years ago and I like to think, about how if I really did have it, I'd be dead by now or cripplingly sick.

I am in the same situation currently. A month ago I feared of having rabies though I knew the scratch that I got was from my own nails but I went to take rabies vaccine in the govt. hospital coz I thought it's always better to be in the safer side. Now after getting vaccinated, I am having fear that what if the nurse had injected me with the same needle with that of other man. The nurse was giving vaccine in a very organised way. I started overthinking about it because I was not able to see whether the nurse disposed the used syringe as I was standing outside the room in the queue. But after giving me vaccine the nurse disposed the syringe.And after that I was like what if she injected me with the used syringe. Although I saw that the loaded syringes were already kept in an organised way on the table.Also I think that if the syringe was used by other person it would have been empty.How can a nurse give an empty syringe to me. Even if the syringe is empty she would not have been able to give me vaccine on both my arms. I know that as she is the nurse. She knows better than me. I was having panic attacks that I am so convinced that I am going to have HIV, Hepatitis B and C. All because of the shits on my brain. I am glad that I am not the only one suffering from it. Even I try to ask questions to myself why do I think that the nurse gave me the used syringe. And I answer myself back that if the syringe was used then it must be empty.How the nurse would give me an empty syringe.she shall not be able to give the vaccine on both my arms. Believe me guys Googling of our symptoms makes it even worse. I don't want my life to get ruin like this. I was full of life earlier, always making others smile. After dog bite in 2019 always living in a fear of having rabies and after taking the vaccine each year this shit is revolving around my mind that I might have injected with the used needle which I know that it is not true but still I am not able to accept the fact. Feeling so helpless that I feel like crying so hard😭😭😭😭😭. Also in 2020 I lost my father due to heart attack and from that incident I always feel like I have lost everything in my life.

One week I was convinced I had osteoarthritis another week It was Anklosying Spondylitis, then after that it was a muscle tear, and now this week it is the extremely rare and 100% fatal genetic disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but I also somehow have Sepsis, and MS. Real this whole health anxiety issue is taxing on my mental and physical condition. Like on I think I have one of these diseases I go into flight or fight mode and began pacing and sweating profusely or just curly up into a ball and hyperventilating. The funny thing is that when I'm occupied none of these symptoms of any of these conditions are there. But because it is so ingrained into my mind to be experiencing some terminal or life threatening illness I can never shake that feeling of foreboding.

I have to say I'm 28 now and I've been trying to tell myself... "Don't worry NOW because when something REALLY happens you won't have the choice." If you don't feel like you're gonna die on the spot then you have room to relax.

As weird as it sounds that mindset is really helpful to me too. It's like when I had airplane anxiety it's like, hypothetically if the worst happened which is extremely unlikely, what is the point to being anxious for all the time prior to that? Like, why worry twice? We all know we're not immortal. There is an odd comfort in releasing control and accepting it. So why live your whole life thinking about it. I know it's easier said than done but it can be a good neutral logical way to reframe it.

I'm here because I am worried about my health this past few weeks I secretly go to the hospital to check if I am okay and turns out I am okay but then I can't stop worrying because I have no energy to entertain myself or go outside but the overthink and be pessimistic every day. Comments are so nice and helpful. Thank youuu

I went to urgent care and then 2 days later, the ER. I fully believed there was something wrong with my heart. (I’m 26 years old) I convinced myself this was it for me. I cried and cried. From the moment i woke up to the moment i tried to rest my heart was racing and I was panicking constantly. I got 2 different EKGS and 3 different blood tests. Turns out I gave myself a stomach ulcer from worrying so much. I haven’t worked in 2 weeks and was literally losing hope. Thank you so much for this. I felt like I was actually going crazy.

My health anxiety is extremely crippling. I can’t drive, I can’t leave the house, I can’t sleep, or eat, or watch tv, or hang out with family… literally there’s not a single thing I can do that gets my mind off the fear of getting sick or a loved one getting sick. On top of that I am constantly feeling my body for lumps and bumps, I’m beyond scared of cancer. My neck is my worst trigger area, I have gerd and have always had globus sensation, but since my anxiety has worsened over the years, the globus sensation drives me insane. I constantly press my throat trying to feel for nodules, I go to the bathroom every hour to see what the back of my throat looks like with my flashlight on. It’s a horrible cycle because the globus sometimes will not go away, that alone makes my anxiety sky rocket on top of the constant checking. At that point the only that that makes it go away is sleeping, but when I try to fall asleep my mind won’t stop racing and I get shivers and anxiety shakes. I take melatonin and Benadryl every night but it stopped working. When I do fall asleep it’s no more than 4 hours and every single time I wake up I’m in full panic mode. Heart racing, sweaty, cold sweats, upset stomach, constant feeling of dread… it’s LEGIT crippling. I just want to feel normal and at peace.

True i'm battling with this since i was only 7 years old. Of all the diseases and health problems i've diagnosed myself to i'm completely fine. Our brains are just fucked up.

I can not believe you did a video about this I really needed this.. I’ve been having so much fear about literally everything and been noticing literally every little sensation in my body

This is soo me. I am not afraid to die from a disease, I am so afraid to get a disease which is not deadly but diminishes your life quality greatly so I can't work and provide for the ones I love anymore...

My health anxiety has gotten really bad in the past couple of months. I have something that, since I was young, made me worry that I could have cancer. But it was never too big of a deal until I graduated, then my fears got really bad to the point where the stress started causing stomachaches and making it to where I struggled to eat. It caused this awful cycle of stress causing sickness, me thinking the sickness is a sign of something severe, and getting even more sick from the stress those thoughts caused. I finally worked up the courage to tell somebody about my fears, and the stress and stomachaches eased pretty soon after. I had spent so much time dwelling on those little thoughts and fears that I didn’t realize I had made a monster out of something small. Getting a little bit of reassurance went such a long way in helping. Unfortunately, the thoughts are starting to come back (or I wouldn’t be here), but I’m hoping I can get a better rein on them this time. I’m only 18. I recently moved to a place where I can finally work on healing and overcoming the problems I struggle with. I just want to live a happy life where I don’t spend every day with the lurking thought that I could be dying.

I've recently been through a very similar situation. My stepmom, who I knew since I was 11 (I'm now 22) and had grown very close to, passed away last year from cancer. She was home the entire time, surrounded by family and friends, all the way until her very last breath. She was the stay at home mom while my mom worked and parented when she was able, so she literally raised me throughout the most crucial years of my development, and now she's gone. My health anxiety and general anxiety has gotten so bad that I can't function anymore, and am hopeless and scared for my future. I'm working towards getting better -- I'm seeing a medication psychiatrist, lining up to get therapy and giving myself time and grace to work on myself. It's incredibly difficult and frustrating, and some days I don't feel like I'm ever gonna get out of it. My hope is waning, but I hold onto the fact that it will get better.

Same, nursed my lovely dad at home with mouth cancer. This was over 8 years ago. These past two years I’ve worried I have breast cancer , cancerous mole, this Christmas I’ve had a dry mouth and my tongue had a canker for about 3 days, canker went away but still have dry mouth which I know could be from anxiety, menopause but no , Mrs self diagnosis has decided it must be what my dad had. My poor sister always gets canker sores, debilitating ones . She’s had so much done but told she has to live with it and she works in a hospital and just gets on with it . I’m useless , I just think of my lovely dad , I don’t want to leave my kids, my mam ,my husband , I’m literally terrified of getting something I can’t deal with because I have panic attacks . My attacks give my constant diarrhoea,tears and palpitations,shakes, To be fair google says it could be anxiety 😮 no sh*t ! Menopause is another but Mrs doom and gloom likes to go for the jugular and think the very worst. My brain just keeps thinking something is going to go wrong soon, a close aunties death last year then my daughter lost a baby in early pregnancy and guess who was her rock? Me , I went to hospital visits with her, I told her mammy is here and everything will be ok ,I held her hand and I kept calm , how can I be so good for her but useless for myself . Writing this has been like therapy. I’m making a deal , from now on no more google and no torches pointed into my mouth. As I write this I know it’s all in my head , I’m still so anxious but haven’t slept properly since before Christmas and cant stay off the toilet , but writing this and seeing it in black and white , well, tomorrow I’m going for a long walk , im going to start a new hobby , I’m going to sing loudly to the radio ,I’m going to beat this . We all have to beat this crazy way of thinking . Only I can fix this , only me .

I didn’t even realise just how common this was! I felt silly ever telling anyone what I was going through! I’ve suffered for about 10 years since I lost a family member and I haven’t been the same since. I must have convinced myself I’ve had over 100 illnesses over this time and it still continues. I’m exhausted but hopeful more help videos will give me pointers on how to manage my brain better, sending love to everyone in the same boat right now. X

I’m not sure how I found your channel but so thankful I did. I have watched several of them now and they have really helped me. I especially liked the series on panic/anxiety. I had my first panic attack in 2016 and unfortunately never had anyone explain what would bring it on (cause) or how to help it from happening again. I have done a lot of my own research over the years that has helped me, but I truly appreciate all the wisdom you gave in your videos. It is very reassuring for someone who has felt that kind of fear. Thank you!

I'm in a anxiety support group on Facebook and someone suggested your channel. I have a severe panic disorder and health anxiety. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Thank you sooo much. I still call it Hypochondria. This is exactly what I needed to see. I have fears like any normal person but I do feel like since the beginning of the pandemic it has elevated greatly. I see it in reverse though, whenever anyone is sick I automatically think of Covid and then I fear exposure.

I literally do all of these things & I didn’t even realize I was doing it. Thank you so much for this video Emma!!

Thank you so much for everything you’re doing. I’ve been catastrophising so much at the beginning of this year. And there’s so many times when it keeps me from doing what I truly feel is important. And whenever I do, your voice of reason as well as the tools I’ve gained help to bring mine back out.

Thank you so much for this - I've dealt with health anxiety for years and get nothing but judgment whenever I try to talk about it. Really appreciate your straightforward, non-judgmental approach 💕

I've been formally diagnosed with GAD and Hypochondria for many many years. I've never read (and I've read a lot) or being introduced to anything this good! You're amazing. You're clear and give off a sense of peace. Wow. I've subscribed to your KZread AND podcast! Thank you so much for this.

The worst part is that I know that all these dull pains are nothing. My mid back hurts so it’s cancer or a heart attack and then it spirals. I know it’s probably a pulled muscle, but I’m on day 5 of new symptoms.

Thank you for this. I have been struggling with anxiety and physical symptoms, even jumpy vision, for months. You describe me perfectly, I have had so many tests and the specialists tell me it is anxiety but my mind won't accept it. This gives me some ways to try to win the battle.

To all who struggle with Health Anxiety, I wish you well!

This was just uploaded today and I have been struggling with health anxiety for over a month now, since I recovered from COVID and was left with the strange neurological after effects, such as loss of taste and smell, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog. Since my recovery, I have just had several panic attacks, two of which sent me into the ER, where I thought something was seriously wrong with me. I had chest pains, shortness of breath, and feeling like I was going to pass out. The ER told me I was fine after EKG's and vital tests, but never mentioned anxiety or panic attacks. My primary care doctor diagnosed me with anxiety last week and placed me on a medication for when such panic attacks happen. I am also beginning counseling within a few weeks. I cannot thank you enough for uploading this video at this time. A total coincidence, I know, but this truly helped. Health anxiety is scary to live with and I hope to one day reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Evie, I had vertigo for about five weeks and for a little more than 2 months, I have been worrying about the health consequences. The good news is the vertigo is gone and there's nothing wrong with my brain. I can relate.

Sometimes a health anxiety can come from a place of trauma and neglect. When I was 18 I had a severely sore stomach. I went to drs to get treatment and ED when I was throwing up to the point of bile. My records show that I asked for help about 12 or 13 times over the course of 6 years. Turns out after I finally had a scan that I had gallstones and they were gallbladder attacks I was having. The lack of care has made me angry and anxious towards the healthcare system and its something I'm trying to work on. Years and years of physical pain with no answers.... it was hell. I'm not trying to use this as a justification for my behavior but for some I guess it's a bit more of a longer multi-layered journey. Thank you so much for your advice and it is such a helpful resource, as usual.

I woke up in a pool of my own blood and thought I was dying. Mom then told me it was my period. Finally, doctors did a DNC and put me on the pill. I developed severe depression from the pill and anger issues. I told my parents and they ignored me until 17. I finally was put on an antidepressant that made me even worse off. I'm off all meds and only take them if there isn't a safe natural alternative now. My health anxiety is extreme now because of current health issues not being addressed. Finally got the diagnosis of venous insufficiency and fibrocystic breast disease.

I grew up with chronic conditions and I think I was given the worst case scenario by doctors at an age where I was way too young to understand. Consequently I never thought I would hit my 30s, but here I am where many aren't. I'm working on recognising the worry /spiral line because it feels very fine and I often don't realise til I'm in the throw of thinking I'm going to die. Meditation, deep breathing and just accepting that EVERY body gets health issues from time to time is helping though. Thanks for positing thia video, it's good to tackle these issues because they can be very difficult to get a grip of.

do you have bipolar

I just want to live. There's so much beauty, so much art, so much love to find. I'm scared because I want to live. Pain in head? Aneurysm. Heart beating faster than normal? Cardiac damage/Income Heart Attack. Exert yourself in exercise? Welcome to brain bleed. What you said about premonition is spot on. It's like you've never been more lucid before in your life when you're that afraid. Especially your section on Meaning Making makes me realize you get it. Thank you for this video and the others I'll be diving into. Really spot on. ^^

I cannot thank you enough for your different programs that offer a different more healthy perspective. I am going through a difficult season in my life, mentally, physically and spiritually. Your programs have helped me keep a more balanced view of what is actually going on. May God bless you abundantly for all you do to help others.❤

Emma, so grateful that you share your knowledge and expertise with us. You're my favorite therapist on KZread. You've helped me learn how to help myself. Thank you!

I can’t stop crying during this video. I’ve been diagnosed with POTS, and have also been experiencing some very severe allergy like symptoms for the past 2 months. I’m almost always worried that what I’ll eat or touch is going to hurt me, and I’ve lost a lot of weight because of it. I still don’t know what’s causing my symptoms so my mind jumps to conclusions thinking I’m gonna die from this. It’s made me develop a severe anxiety of food so I’m trying my best to get out of it. I just hope that i can stop feeling so anxious about food or even leaving the house so i can just get better. Thank you for this 💜
