Struggling so much with health anxiety lately

...See more Hi everyone! I'm in Canada, and my family physician, who had been my doctor for probably 15 years, closed her practice last year. There are no doctors in this area accepting new patients. Lack of options for healthcare services is a big problem where I live. With less access to healthcare, I feel like my health anxiety has really spiked. I've been having problems with things like headaches, gastrointestinal issues, etc. from time to time over the past few months. Things that aren't necessarily linked to anything serious, but things that are also on so many symptom lists for so many health problems. It's been so easy to obsess over things that might be wrong with me. The middle of last week, I had a couple of days where I experienced chills and body aches, but with no other traditional cold or flu symptoms. That progressed into neck pain, which progressed into head pain (sometimes across my forehead, sometimes around the top of my neck, sometimes just the side of my head). Probably just a weird virus that exacerbated whatever neck/headache problems I have, but still, worrying about what else it can be has made things so much worse.

...See more Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a post and see if anyone out there can relate to this! I've been having some physical health problems that negatively affect my quality of life. I won't get into too many specifics, but it's something that gets in the way of a lot of normal daily activities. I'm taking steps to seek medical help for it, but not getting many answers so far. I'm finding myself getting more and more stressed out about things, being less able to enjoy or do things I'd want to do, and feeling less happy in general. I have a few upcoming medical appointments, but in the meantime I just feel miserable! Take care everyone! <3
