M17, Health anxiety disorder
When I got into bed a few hours ago, I felt completely fine. Now I’m spiraling into a panic attack because of a list of problems that have just come out of nowhere. A painful lump next to my ear, itchy stomach, jerking awake, eyes watering, etc. I don’t know where any of this came from, but the more I panic, the more I seem to notice, which just makes me even more nervous. I don’t know what to do, even as I write this I feel a sudden pain in my leg, and I’m afraid to sleep in the event that I don’t wake up for whatever reason. I know all of these issues are almost completely harmless, but I just can’t stop worrying and I’m exhausted. Does anyone else experience this? What can I do?
