I have SEVERE health anxiety. It makes me spiral atleast once a week. Somedays all I do is lay in bed in intense fear of what's wrong with me. Nothing makes me feel better until I know exactly what's wrong. Like a simple stomach ache. I will spiral. Think blood may be in my stool. Obsessively check. Panic. Check my stomach for lumps. Its never ending. The most simple things can do it. Im exhausted. Nothings helping.

Ah. That sounds hard. I have feelings of health anxiety as well sometimes as well. Not fun. Question for you, would you say you are living your best life? Like are you living life to the fullest of your capacity right now? Not asking if you are rich or famous or whatever, but like do you feel you are genuinely doing what you want with your life?

Kind of? But it holds me back to the point I feel like im not. I stop myself from doing so many things because I feel like im in danger at all times. For example im supposed to go out of country in a week and I don't even knownif I can out of fear something will happen and I will be too far from the hospitals im used to.

Hum. I can see how that would give you some concern. Is it a legit concern? Like does this hospital only offer the type of care you’d need and you know that you’d be in extreme harm or risk because other hospitals where you are going don’t have that service or capability?

Seems that you have forgotten that you are Amazing. Take a moment to remember. Your record against bad days is 💯.You beat them all. There is no benefit to holding yourself back. Not, letting fear rule your experience. Take control. You're the leader of an Amazing life. All that you truly have is today. Right now.
