I had a health anxiety set back after two years!

[@chrisperry8636]

We all have setbacks. Health anxiety is lifelong. Your experience sounds like the perfect storm and anyone would have been worried. Really appreciate you sharing.

[@lukejames4656]

This is absolutely not a slip! The fact that you are not dwelling on it, and you took all the necessary steps means you are still BOSSING it. 🎉🎉🎉

[@chiledawgg]

I’m an extreme health anxiety sufferer, but I think it’s normal to have anxiety while having a health crisis! What you were going through was very scary and I don’t think most people would be calm. Don’t beat yourself up. Hope you get better soon 🤍

[@juanlongoria4827]

I’m a recent high school graduate, and health anxiety DESTROYED my last year of high school… I had existential dread and was convinced I had Cancer, ALS, Lupus, and many other things until I realized I was suffering from anxiety. I was able to do that by watching your videos, so thank you so very much for changing and helping me through this dark period

[@AK-zw3yz]

I am suffering badly. can u say how can I get rid of it?

I think just like every anxiety, it will follow you, but you have learned how to manage it. I think the way you look back at this "set-back" right now is proof that you're past the accute health anxiety phase.

Don’t feel ashamed. I’ve helped many people in my personal life dealing with anxiety based in the same methods that you talk about. For some reason I still struggle at times to heed my own advice. 🤷🏻

[@courtney5845]

Good luck for Saturday cherelle! Your videos really helped me when I was feeling hopeless and convinced that I was dying so there was no point in living everyday for an inevitable end. I'm doing a lot better now. I've sustained a rib injury after going on a fairground ride and I'm trying not to worry about my heart. All my obs are normal and I've got faith that my body knows how to heal itself and that I'm doing the best I can 💗

[@vivianacampbell9763]

Don’t be ashamed. Set backs happen. You have my outmost respect for sharing. That’s being brave in itself. You got this. I just had a set back myself. We need to forgive ourselves and get back on track. Hugzzzz 😘

[@kristychan2587]

Even people with no health anxiety would be nervous under a difficult situation. We are, afterall, just human. Don't be too harsh on yourself! We health anxiety sufferers all know that it isn't easy! Be proud of all you have achieved and everything you have done to help us!

[@pk_1393]

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Even I have got health anxiety again after almost 4 years, but with another set of physical symptoms. The main thing what I have learnt is acceptance that my anxiety would be coming and leaving throughout my life, and not trying to act normal in front of people when I am getting the symptoms. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@BeanTwnJ]

As always thanks for the transparency. Praying for wonderful things for you my friend!!

[@Robin-uu6eg]

I went almost 3 years with no health anxiety until a lymph node under my chin grew to the size of a golf ball. After tests and a biopsy, it came back completely benign. It went away on its own. But it did damage because my HA came back in full force. I went almost a year recently after doing well, and it has come back. I think it's totally okay to gave set backs. I feel like I learn more every time.

[@molkisha]

You’re only human, so it’s totally understandable! I’m glad you forgave yourself, and thank you so much for sharing with us! Also - Eye stuff IS SCARY! It’s like how you perceive the entire world and how you function every day, like it’s normal to freak out a lot over it! I hope it turns out it’s nothing serious, but if it is what your dad has - at least you will have your Dad help you deal with it and teach you! Praying it’s all gonna be ok! Sending you love! 💕

[@Halsning]

I started suffering from HA in 2019 and these past two years were awful, I literally self diagnosed myself with every illness I could think of. I started to feel much better and had no anxiety in 2022, but these last week has been the worst ever. I thought I would not have to go through this again and here I am, feeling the worst I've ever felt. I find it so hard to wake up every day because I know I'm gonna be in pain :(

[@dee2759]

Ugh, same here .. I really really hate the way my brain is sometimes I swear

[@Halsning]

@@dee2759 I'm still not feeling great but I've definitely improved since writing that comment, keeping myself busy is what helps most. it's crazy how we feel good when we don't think about it and as soon as those thoughts creep into my mind i start to feel the symptoms again. i now give myself five minutes to worry and then try to focus on other stuff, maybe that can help you too x hope you heal ❤️

I'm 25 first time I went to ER when I was 17 because of racing heart, sweating, panic and chest discomfort my bad life started that day I have bad cardiophobia which brings scarey physicals symptoms like chest pain, jaw pain, arm pain, high bp, breathing shortness, ectopic beats, panic, chest discomfort I have visited many cardiologists many times they are like nothing is wrong with heart few days ago i was again in ER they they told me my EKG was abnormal (inverted T wave) I went to cardiologist the next day he once again said heart is okay still getting worse symptoms and visited another cardiologist he said the same. When I watched your video of cardiophobia i broke in tears because it happens to me and i can understand how it feels like when you're in ER and is told you're ECG is abnormal💔

[@shawnr741]

Within the past year I have told my doctor about my health anxiety. Now it seems she is much more careful with her words, thankfully. I’m extremely triggered by certain words and discussing certain conditions. I hate it and I am working to settle my nervous system through therapy and changing my thought patterns. It’s extremely difficult because even talking about it gives me loads of anxiety

[@tiffykirk7182]

Same thing is happening with me

[@Melovesun]

I can not tell you enough how much this channel of yours means to me. I have very challenging health anxiety. I have big problem with my left ear. Hear heartbeat, pulse sound, and high low frequency sound. Do you have any experience with this?

Hey Siri, yes I can often hear my pulse in my ear, it made me worry but I asked a colleague in work and they said they had it all the time. This helped me 😊

[@rebeccalindsay8377]

I went to a&e today as I've been having chest pain the last week and they did an ECG on me and it showed 'ST depression'.....well that was it then, I was basically asking them am I going to die. There's genuinely nothing worse than health anxiety x

[@Atom_Stone]

Thank you for your disclosure & openness. As I go up and down on this roller coaster, I try to seek the deeper, underlying transformation process that is happening within me. Somehow I suspect I'm holding onto something that I have to let go of. I do have a faith that this process COULD bring about changes that I need to make, but all the symptoms & my RESISTANCE to them keep blocking my exit from the tunnel.

This is not a health anxiety setback. You had a perfectly normal anxiety response to real severe symptoms. Anyone would probably react similarly. Yes, your reaction may be heightened compared to how others may react, but this reaction is not quite disordered considering you were in an actual health crisis.
