Health Anxiety
I am suffering from health anxiety since I was 12 years old. It really makes it difficult for me and gives me panic attacks. I really want to overcome this feeling..it gets even worse when I am actually sick. I always end up thinking I am going to die or I might have a chronic disease. Even the slightest of discomfort in my body makes me panic.
I lost my father at an early age and since then I have been feeling health anxiety.
I see people around me go about their lives without any worry and I really want to feel normal.
Even the slightest fever or headache or pain makes me worry.
Everyone around me tells me I need to grow up and stop overthinking but I really try my best. Still I can't help these thoughts.
