Having health anxiety is the worst. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t feel something. Everyday is another day of symptoms. I don’t remember the last time I’ve felt normal. I’d give anything to feel human again. My sleep has deteriorated. My happiness has diminished. My quality of life slowly gets worse each day. My life feels miserable. If it weren’t for my beautiful son and fiancé I don’t know where I’d be right now. I feel hopeless. Especially with cardiophobia. I’m seeing a cardiologist to do the necessary tests, but I’m 23 years old, and to them I’m “too young” to be experiencing heart issues. I had an echo done a while ago and turns out I might have a congenital heart defect, but the cardiologist was unable to fully diagnose me off the echo alone, so he wants me to do another test. It took me 3 months to even see the doctor. Another 2 to get the echo done. 2 weeks for my results. And I’m about to go onto 2 months since my results and I have yet to get the second test needed to diagnose if I have a defect or not. It’s hard to stay hopeful when there’s all these long waits. You’d expect them to take you seriously with your heart health. I just feel so lonely. Everyone I know lives day by day without feeling anything. But I feel like im surging day by day. I just want to live my life and be happy. I just want to feel human again. I want to stop feeling so lonely 💔
