Yes very much. I don't see this mentioned often enough. I'm jealous of the people able to call and go in for every little thing. I am petrified of going in, even to the ER for some random injury because I've convinced myself they're going to find SOMETHING and tell me I have like 6 months to live. Now a very minor pain in my stomach for the last few days has me convinced of the big C word or some sort of deadly infection. The more I think about it the worse it hurts. This happened with a spot on my back last month til I eventually forced myself to forget about it, and boom pain gone. Every few weeks it's a new "deadly issue" but I still can't draw the courage to go in. It's been years since I even had a physical so I feel like I'm practically too far gone at this point.

I had no idea anxiety could manifest symptoms like this. I literally was tested for MS, had an MRI, thinking it was my endometriosis, I had no idea what was happening. But the Health Anxiety is such a struggle for me for the last 8 years now and I RARELY hear it talked about seriously and you do it with such hope and compassion.

I know that sounds morbid.. but it atleast helps me relax for a second. somehow some way. If something is actually wrong then I can't control that and eventually a symptom would truly send me over the edge if it REALLY was true. idk if this is a healthy thought process.. but it's what I'm working with currently.

I've had health anxiety for years. Usually when I have a flare up, I have a new terrifying symptom that is worse than all the others and it's that symptom that convinces me that this time, it can't be anxiety. My latest one was twitching in my eye. It stressed me out and then I started twitching everywhere. Legs, arms, cheeks etc. I told my GP and she sent me to a specialist. The specialist told me that I really need to get my anxiety sorted.

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

I’ve gone through this for the first time in my life. And damn did it hit me really hard. I was feeling strange feelings at first and thought it was my heart. 3 EKG’s, a pulmonologist , blood test, heart monitor, primary doctor, all of it later, and it still came back. It’s anxiety. Yesterday I had a tingling by my temple and now I’m worried about it and googled it and saw aneurysm stuff and it never ends. Ever. Until we face it. Anxiety has roots in our subconscious. And it leads to living in fear ultimately. And suffering isn’t meant to be the way to live. And we know that, right? Whether it be the fear of death, exhaustion, things going on in life, etc. but it has to stop. We have to rest our minds and bodies. We deserve better. And most importantly, give it all to God. Do what you have to do for your self . It comes and goes, and I’m still fighting it. But your not alone. Keep fighting. And give it to God no matter what. 🙏💪

The one thing that helps me a lot is the really intense acceptance of whatever happens, happens. Somehow I can't deal with people telling me that it's probably nothing, but I do feel some relief by people letting me know that perhaps that's what it is and then that's just how it will be. Sometimes I think that some people are just naturally more level headed like that, whereas I am more of a dreamer who needs to have a reality check sometimes. It helps to be reminded that getting sick is a part of life, but the chances are quite slim. And being able to accept that, and it possibly being really sad or heartbreaking, is soothing in a weird way for me.

I hope you truly know, everything you’ve been through is not in vain , but allowed you to be of a wonderful help to others that you otherwise may not have been able to be. I hope I will be in that position some day too. ❤😊

Hello Cherille I am a parent that has a 33 yr old daughter that has these exact problems. She cries everyday about something. It is very hard to deal with. She has been to a neurologists because she just knew she had ALS or parkinsons just everything. She is also going to a therapists and psychiatrists and he put her on medicine. She found you and I am grateful that she did. I told her to listen to you everyday. I wish she could talk to you personally but we live in West Virginia and you must be in the UK. But just listening to youseems to have helped her and I am thankful.

I really needed this video. I, too, have such a hard time believing all the symptoms could really be caused by anxiety. It feels impossible. And yet there is a lot of evidence pointing to that being the truth, because doctors haven't found anything wrong with me. And I see that I have had a "problem-solving" habit my whole life!

Your advice in this video really resonated with me, problem solving is exactly what I try to do constantly. I think it’s because my logic says if you can work out what’s wrong I may be able to solve it and not continue to suffer. Unfortunately the stress and anxiety that causes actually makes things worse. I do though struggle at times to differentiate between symptoms that are caused by anxiety and those that are genuinely related to the chronic health conditions I have. I am going to try to sit with my symptoms though instead of immediately needing to either seek help from a doctor or google.

Starting a new medication which has some pretty strong side effects has got me spiralling into health anxiety for the first time in years 😔 My H.A started after I had sepsis, so thats where my mind always goes when I feel anything but baseline normal. Thank you for this video, you're absolutely right. I'll try.

Your video really hit home. I struggle so much with health anxiety which I believe is related to the fact that I have read about, heard about, or personally known of so many people who didn't worry about their health and missed little signs of a serious illness. I am constantly worried that some little something is clue to something major. Of course, here's the kicker, I am deathly afraid of going to the doctor and doing any medical testing that might be recommended. I avoid doctors like the plague due to fear of the outcome. I'm not sure how to reconcile this and it is overwhelming at times.

wow just reading through all these comments is therapy for me as I truly see now that there really are people with the exact same fears as me! I totally understand how everyone feels. It makes your life hell. I am not coping right now at all. I finally got the courage to go for a mammogram over a week ago and was then tolld after it was done that the wait period is longer than ever because of staff shortages. I never would have gone in the first place!

But it’s so hard not to research or look for assurances. I’m going to overcome health anxiety. I have to stop goggling. It’s insanity to keep doing the same thing with the same results.

In Him, we not only have assurance of Heaven.. we have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Seek Him while He may be found!

This is my issue exactly. About a few weeks ago in October I was walking along and had pins and needles in the left side of my face and had it spread to my hands, fingers and upper arm. I headed home and called an ambulance thinking it was a mini stroke or a possibly a stroke. I had an ambulance come out and check me over. I went up A&E and had an ECG, bloods and a physical examination and everything was good. However, they did not do a brain scan on me to be sure because they did not think it was anything serious. They diagnosed it as a migraine with aura. Since, then I have been obsessed with thinking have they missed something and it has caused me severe anxiety. I did these things using google to look up symptoms thinking that I had a mini stroke. Since then I struggle to sleep with worry that something is wrong with me. I constantly worry about my health even though all my bloods were normal, my blood pressure is normal too. I haven’t felt right since the incident and I suffer from constant dissociation and derealisation and it scares me even more. I go out and and have in my mind something bad is going to happen, like I am going to collapse to the floor and die or my heart will give out. I get weird feelings and spams in my body. I just wish I could convince my brain that I am ok. My trigger is just thinking the doctors missed something. I convinced my brain that I had something really bad happen. 😢

hello sherelle. I am 30, male and desperate. My last three days were the worst in my life. 5 months ago an eye doctor told me I could have a brain tumor (there was no tumor) - at this time I was standing in the hospital with my two fathers and my girlfriend and I though my life was over. 4 months later I was scared of a heart muscle inflammation, went to a cardiologist and she told me I might have an aortic aneurysm (there was nothing wrong). 6 weeks later a had a disc herniation in my lower back (I actually have it but it worsened my mental state). Prior to the heart doctor I mentioned a tingling sensation to my mum, 5 days after the disc herniation I had a long conversation about disc herniations and at the train station (standing alone) the tingling intensified. Then 7 days no mentioning, I wonder: Did I forget it? 14 days after the disc herniation I google tingling and MS and now I have it for three days. I know I have panic attacks, mental problems and I seek psychological treatment (not with medications yet).In my brain MRI they found lesions but neither two eye doctors or two radiologists mentioned it could be MS. I am just scared to death.. 24/7 for three days now

As a Cancer Specialist, the main thrust of what you’re saying is certainly correct, in my opinion. And I can agree with it wholeheartedly as someone who suffers with health anxiety. However, I really do think that you should have started this video with the paramount advice that if you are experiencing concerning symptoms that you do get checked by a doctor and that if symptoms persist or indeed worsen, you do seek medical help. Yes health anxiety is real and it is unbelievable just how much it can negatively impact someone but we should not encourage people to always assume it’s anxiety or we risk a ‘boy crying wolf’ situation whereby the threat may one day be real. And subsequently ignored. There are unfortunately a plethora of genuine physical ailments and it is important to rule things out before making the call that it’s anxiety. Knowing where that line is to be drawn, however, is the real catch. But great video!

I've had anxiety and panic attacks about death for the last 21 years. Random panic attacks where I'd freak out for a few minutes and then calm down. Recently it's felt like I'm just in the ocean treading water to keep my head above it. Trying to just accept it as part of life, and even though I kind of feel like "okay it's just part of life, don't worry about it" I still feel like the anxiety is there waiting, like a sore muscle. This has never happened before and I'm not sure how to stop it. Trying to refocus on tasks I need to do, trying to think of other things but it's just there, waiting.
