I’m 100% sure I have health anxiety, and I’ve been this way since I was a preteen. I’m not gonna go into details, but Im absolutely sure I have health anxiety bc the signs are all there. My mom is always telling me to go on medication when I come to her crying about the disease I think I’m dying of. Anyway, despite my mom (and others) telling me to go on meds, idk if going through the process to get diagnosed and all that jazz is actually worthbit. Yes, I have my moments where my anxiety is crippling and I literally can’t do anything else besides give into my anxieties, but it’s not that bad and doesn’t really impact me that much. I still get things done, I still go to class, I still hang out with my friends, live my life, etc. Could my life be better with a diagnosis and access to medication? Yeah ofc, but it just seems like too much work and too much money. So I’m wondering, for those who felt the same as I do right now, how did getting a diagnosis and meds actually help you?? Was your life really better after?? Someone told me that I’m playing life on hard mode by not getting the help I should, and that is what inspired me to make this post and possibly seek a diagnosis. Idk if this made sense, any insight would be appreciated
