Health anxiety is the worst. Like with social anxiety or even just general anxiety, there’s ways you can avoid your triggers. That is obviously not healthy to do, but in moments where you just feel so overwhelmed you can. With health anxiety you are just trapped with your body. You can’t escape it, you can’t avoid it, you are stuck with your trigger 24/7. It’s exhausting. I have actually been feeling pretty good lately anxiety wise- but even when I am feeling happy or not anxious- the thought just doesn’t leave my head that maybe I have some terminal illness and I don’t know it. I can’t enjoy anything. I think “yea you may be happy now, but this isn’t gonna matter in a couple months when you are diagnosed with x disease” It is truly so draining. I just want to be able to have 1 day where I can just enjoy life, but it’s so hard when you are trapped with the thing that makes you the most anxious forever. I feel so hopeless.
