I for one would love for you to do a follow up. I also have health anxiety and have dealt with bouts of it since the age of 16, I'm 39 now and still continue to deal with it. I'm currently going through a terrible bout which has been going on some three months now, it never normally lasts this long and it's pure hell to say the least! Watching your video helped me see that I can learn better ways of dealing with the anxiety and that I'm not alone (Even though I wish you didn't have to go through it) I'm hoping to start therapy soon myself again but this time I want to continue with it long-term and hopefully learn how to not let the anxiety control me and my everyday life in such a profound way anymore. I hope and pray that things have continued to improve for you and would love an update. "I'm still here and so are you!"

The problem is, you go to doctor, get even a scan, then you are at peace for few months, then after some time new symptom on other part of body comes, you reverse to old self. Therapist who also suffers this Cherellethinks, also has channel, also said than next time she thinks she gets symptom she will know is only HA, but still her mind cant deal with it. When you get scan and see its all ok you think- i dont care what other symptom ill get, i will know its HA, but then you go on google and pull yourself into it again.

Want to leave a comment..to encourage you all going through this Hell...for over a month I was going through severe severe anxiety..was very bad to the point I wasn't even eating...as soon as started to not concéntrate on negativity and my symptoms...they slowly decreased..I mean I still feel things here and there bit not half as bad as before...as soon as I restarted eating again and said enough is enough and I regained back my strength my diahrea disappeared..am back to having normal bowel movement...I was lacking food badly...I still feel pains here and there but like I said not half as bad..am not concentrating on them...but I know healing takes time I'm not gonna feel 100 percent over night..after all the stress I put on my body..but am getting there.. thanks for this video..God bless u

The cinematography was therapeutic, I have health anxiety as well and I don't want to sound so religous but ever since I reconnected myself to God--To Jesus--I started to realize that there is something better waiting for me after this life, so my constant fear of suddenly dying slowly disappear. Let's keep on fighting, we are not alone. God bless everyone.

@np1324 what started as a sinus infection taking 2 round of antibiotics to clear turned into thinking the infection spread in my body turned into thinking I had some sort of obstruction in my sinuses. Now I have tingling in my arms and I know from anxiety and panic attacks from the sinus infection situation I have SO much neck and shoulder tension. But I saw a chiro today who said she didn't lile the way my neck felt and wanted me to get an MRI. I told her I just had xrays and I have straightening of my neck curve form tension likely. My fingers also hurt, headaches. But her words "I don't lile the way your neck feels and I've felt many necks" and requesting and MRI making it sound like it's a tumor. She doesnt know what ive been going thru with health anxiety and such, so i keep reminding myself of that too. I keep telling myself it's all from stress and tension from the anxiety. I'm consumed by fear and my mind is so loud with all the what ifs. I also carry my 22 lbs one year old which I'm sure doesn't help my tension.

I started having intensely painful pelvic floor dysfunction several years ago and it caused me to develop severe health anxiety. I was having soul-crushing panic attacks daily as I endured constant burning and stabbing physical agony in my groin and pelvic region over which I had NO control. My doctors found not one single issue. I wasn’t convinced and I’d often lie in bed contemplating suicide because I couldn’t continue enduring so much every waking moment. With tons of help I’ve overcome the pain and the majority of my health anxiety. Life will never be the same but I’m still so grateful and happy to be here. Stay strong!

Its a terrible mental condition, i got some stomach issues year ago, and i went to gastroenterologist, and i think in that period something serious has happened to me, i got acid reflux and duodenitis. And also some symptom that i question now year later if its something serious. I think what if doctor didnt diagnose that symptom good. But i also think he is older doctor he knows what he does, but still question his skill. Before i thought something is bad with my lungs, and after scan it showed all is well. But that also does not make me calm, neither that last 5 times i thought i got something serious it was nothing, same as when i think food got stuck in my esophagus but doctor said it was fine.

Sometimes i feel like i would just want to end up in some institution and take many pills to make me dull so i dont worry.

Bro I feel You. I had my first and the strongest panic attack when I was 18yo reading some article in a newspaper about the symptoms of a heart attack. I started to feel every of those symptoms. Chest tightness, overwhelming doom, shortness of breath. I thought I'm dying. I told about it my mom and we went to the ER. With every single second while in a road to the hospital I was feeling worse. I was sure that this is my last minutes here...when I reached the doctor she immediately recognised that as a panic attack, she told me that I can't have a heart attack and when she said that every emotion I felt just disappeared in a second. They made some blood test, ECG, Blood pressure and everything came fine. Now After a ten years I'm 30yo I had few more panic attacks, I had a lot of ER visits, had tons of a heart tests, scans, bloodworks, holters, stress tests and every of those was repeated many times but different cardiologists. Every always came back normal and some doctor told me that my heart is so strong, that I can run marathons. Still after tons of tests and even If I finally accepted that this is just an anxiety sometimes I feel that something is not ok... that's the anxiety cycle and we have to breakt that cycle...Now I started to think that I have a carcinoid tumor because I can become flushy in my face and neck and of course it has to be a cancer... hypersensitivity, carastrophising it's the biggest issue...we always Google and we always recognise every little body ache or sensation like a deadly condition which is slowly killing us... But I know we're going to be fine, so stay strong mate, I wish U all the best in Your journey. Best wishes from Poland! ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story. You are the first person who actually described your health anxiety exactly like mine. I've been this way since I was a kid. It was bad during my teens, it would come and go in waves. In my twenties, thirties you name it I have sworn I had every illness. But now I'm 50 and it's worse because I'm at the age when illnesses can crop up, but what's even worse is all those years that I wasted thinking I was dying that I could have enjoyed and "I'm still here." It is a miserable way to live especially when doctors and nurses have literally rolled their eyes and even made little jokes when they see my extreme anxiety.

Absolutely beautiful, sweet husband of mine 🥰 I love you so much and I’m so so proud of you ❤️

I normally don't comment on videos, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is crazy how much I can relate to you. The constant body-checks, non-existent self-care, being scared of the feeling of joy.. On top of that, being a lonely international university student dealing with various sources of stress (economic worries about my family, constant self-loathing, desperately trying to improve, and pushing my abilities to their limits) just cracked my brain this week. The idea of slowly dying without achieving anything that I want to achieve started filling up my mind (I am getting irritated just by writing this sentence)... Being able to put myself in your shoes and learning how this can be treated and managed and the fact that it is all in my anxious brain brought an unfathomable moment of relief. Thank you for making this video.. You deserve every good thing coming your way (even though you may not feel like it).

Your comment just made me tear up. Thank you for sharing part of your story and being open. Also thank you for watching and your very sweet words. I promise you if you keep pushing, you will overcome this. And you will learn how to handle it in the future. The fact that you are dealing with so many things AND anxiety, shows how strong you are. Just remember, Anxiety doesn't define you. It can't hurt you. It is JUST anxiety. There are things in life we can't control. And coming to terms with that, is a big step towards accepting anxiety as part of us. It's a normal bodily function and you will rewire your brain again. I can recommend the books of Joshua Fletcher, his two books helped me a lot in understanding anxiety and in making the first changes towards overcoming it. I wish you the best and feel free to reach out anytime. Here, on Insta or wherever

Thank you. This is all quite familiar. It comes and goes, and when it comes it does so by sneaking up on you and it takes a while till you realise what's going on. Since about 2010 I've experienced some of the craziest and most confusing situations and they have driven doctors, my family and myself mad. My impression is that OCD is connected (in my case anyway), and I need to get some help with CBT. In the meantime I mostly now use a dumb phone to restrict Google searches. On other devices I am careful to avoid searching for anything that might trigger me, or if I make a wrong move I quickly back out.

Sorry to hear that you are struggling as well. I tried to limit myself as well for some time but I quickly saw that avoiding it, didn't help me in the long run. For example I didn't watch movies anymore with a certain subject. But I found exposure to a certain degree (my therapist was a great help) was very helpful and slowly got me back. CBT i can highly recommend. And for me, understanding what's happening in the body in terms of hormones also helped a lot. I could then name it and just call it what it was: just anxiety :) I wish you the best. Stay strong.

Allah made it in the best of moulds , Allah gives disease and he cures and for every single pain there is reward , so it's a blessing...

They think it's a joke but this really does ruin your life. You become consumed by worry. I get some twinge or ache and suddenly it's ALL bad. Thinking about it makes it worse as symptoms escalate! You think yes it must be something very serious because I feel so bad. My body seems to manifest what ever illness or condition that I fear. The mind is so powerful.

Only way u can get over anxiety is by truly accepting it. Instead of fighting it when it comes on u accept it all. It’s called expose therapy . All anxiety is is false alarms telling your brain there’s danger when really there’s no danger at all, when u learn it accept it everytime instead of fighting it your brain eventually learns that these are false alarms and they stop. I used to have it for years so bad I couldn’t even leave the house. And now I have currently been anxiety free for 3 years, all it took was me reading “Claire weekes” book and learning this method another good book that describes this method is the book “Dare” trust me from someone who knows the worse thing u can do with anxiety it fight it or cope with it.

I'm sorry to hear that. One of my favorite shirts 😊 I hope you know that you are strong. You can and will master this. Be open about it. Talk about it. Reach out if you need to talk. And also, thanks for watching this video. It means a lot 🙏

@@WolfgangKern Thanks for the reply so soon! I have engaged in CBT but I didn't find that extremely helpful, but it was nice to be able to try it anyway. I tend not to be as worried as I used to be, but just yesterday I had a bad anxiety attack which caused me to come across your video. It just goes to show how health anxiety can come and go so randomly. By the way, your youtube channel is so underrated, I've subscribed on all my accounts!

@@billy7657 Joshua Fletcher has some great books on anxiety. Helped me to understand it more and learn what it does in your body. Anxiety comes in waves. But if you got good days and then a bad one again, it's a sign of progress. You are doing something right. Thank you so much 🙏😊
