hi
I have been suffering with hypochondria, health anxiety for some years. Mostly I have been able to cope , however, the last year has been alarmingly difficult to get my fear under control and as such my doctor has organised counselling for me and start in 3 days. I sympathise with anyone who has and is suffering from this , it all consuming and debilitating yet no one can see how you are suffering. The amount of people who ridiculed me saying things like , “ what’s wrong this time , brain cancer ? Then laugh has been astonishing, I think it’s very much misunderstood and not taken seriously by many. Some time ago I was sent for tests and the young doctor actually said to me this could be cancer so you must prepare yourself…..from that moment to having the scan I lost a stone in weight plus fond myself considering suicide ……health Anxiety is very real
Hi. I can do relate to you with health anxiety. It's gotten a little better but it still creeps up and when it does, it's consuming.
