Hi,
Pretty sure my anxiety problems are coming from health anxiety. Been one of those years like others. Post covid, issues from that, which just seem to lead to other symptoms. The problem is now, every little thing seems to send me into a panic. Normal body sensations that I wouldn’t even think of before. The worst thing is I know that most symptoms are that of leading to an anxiety attack. The faster heart rate, the wanting to take a deep breath, the shaking etc, but it’s a cycle I can’t seem to break. It’s the fear of fear. I’m either checking symptoms and finding new problems, anxiety itself can get linked to other medical conditions, or trying to order home self tests and all sorts. The only time’s I feel better is after some sort of release. I cried to my partner and felt better. It turned the worry into anger as I’m annoyed what it’s doing to me and after a while I seemed to feel better, but it does come back. I just want to know how to break the cycle. Stopping the worry, which would stop the symptoms of an attack and ultimately stop the attack. I’m generally happy and active, but this is putting a dent into that.
