For the past 8 months, I've (26m) been extremely anxious and focused on my body. I've always been a bit of a hypochondriac but this has the worst I've ever left. 

About 8 months ago, I started focusing on my hands because I noticed a bit of a shake to them that became hard not to notice. I don't know if I gave it to myself or it's from my job (I work with computers all days). I began googling lots of symptoms and wondering what it could have been from, thinking that I was beginning to die. 

I was so focused on this that I gave myself finger jerks, which developed into full body jerks. 

This has caused my a great amount of stress and often causes me to just focus on my body and wait for the next jerk or moment. Every time it happens I just believe I'm one step closer to finding out I'm dying. 

I believe a large part of my anxiety came from googling serious conditions like PD and ALS. I told my doctor this and he's dialled it down to stress and anxiety. 

Even a few days ago my big toe on my right foot felt strange (potentially hit or something) and since then been so focused on my toes. I've now developed such a strong focus on them that I've given a twitch or jerk in them too.

The propanelol my doctor has given me does help reduce these symptoms, but if I run into a rut they'll come straight back and I'll focus on things (toe twitching etc) and constantly give it to myself 

I just feel so helpless, constantly thinking I'm dying and there's nothing I can do. I just hope it's chronic anxiety and it really is just me giving myself these things :(
