Been dealing with anxiety around my heart past couple years and last year I decided to ditch my Apple Watch because I couldn’t stop checking it. Today I decided to start wearing it again because I don’t think I’m ever going to get better if I’m scared of my Apple Watch and seeing my HR. At first it was helpful getting rid of it but I think in the long run it almost gave me a phobia about seeing my HR. Like my exercise bike I covered up the screen so I wouldn’t see my heart rate pop up. I think the avoidance is worse for my anxiety than actually seeing my heart rate. 

If anyone has any similar experiences about bringing back their Apple Watch because they were tired of being scared and the avoidance was making their anxiety worse please comment!
