What you just called 17 mins of ramble is actually 17 mins of hope for someone who has been battling health anxiety for more than 17 years. I am so grateful to you for sharing your experience, for the courage you show to come out and say yes I have suffered. You are an inspiration and hope for me that things can and will get better. Thank you and plz keep on posting such videos . They may be ramble for you but for someone else it can be a life saving conversation.
Oh very much so! As someone who constantly is fighting with health anxiety. It's hard for me sometimes to just exist and I feel extremely lonely having to go through this all by myself so whenever I watch a video like this, it helps me so much. It brings me a lot of comfort and warmth. Honestly anything helps. Any videos, comments, little chats I can have with people helps. So this video is very much a life saving video in the sense of it being here for me when nobody else really has been. So this is more than just a video, it's a glimpse of hope. It's so much more than just a video.❤️
It angers me about the staff at the doctor's office getting frustrated and impatient. The truth is: if you haven't suffered from health anxiety you don't understand but if you have... then you understand how devastating it can be. I see that with my family... they try to be supportive but they don't understand, and I'm glad they don't. I wouldn't wish health anxiety on anyone.
Oh I very much relate. This is why I only chat with people online who are going through this because they know exactly what it's like To feel this way but most people wouldn't have a single clue how debilitating this anxiety is and how it can make you feel. I've had days when I literally thought I would go crazy because of how bad this anxiety got. It's crazy looking back now because I remember there was a day when I would read about health anxiety and at the time I didn't know what it was and I was really ignorant about it as well. I remember thinking " oh this cannot be a real thing"💀 and then surely enough few years later I now know what health anxiety is and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, because it can really make you believe that you're going crazy. It's this constant paranoia that you're feeling and every little body sensations feels like a d**** sentence. Every minute of everyday you're just trying to survive and feel better. If you ever need someone to talk to my instagram is mrchad519
It's the isolation from the world that's the worse. I've suffered from health anxiety ever since I watched my brother from cancer in 1994. I've had every symptom there is over the 30 year period. I'm 53 now and I'm still suffering badly. It's destroyed my marriage and I've missed out on spending quality time with my kids. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
It's so hard to be chill about your health when doctors always find new things during checkups. Things I never even was scared about before, like breast cancer. Because my doctor found tumors in mine (thankfully not cancerous, but it's still a freaky news to get, and I need to see a specialist every three month). I try to accept the unknown and I try not to worry so much, but it is hard.
I had a panic attack a couple weeks ago, I was convinced that I was dying right then and there. Called 911 in a parking lot and they check everything, told me I looked great and healthy but needed to take some deep breaths and calm down. As a father and husband it’s so hard to feel like I can even seek help but it’s so important to find what works best thats healthy. This channel has tons of great info and I’m so lucky to have fumbled upon it. You can heal even though it feels like it’ll never stop.
The worst thing someone can tell you when you’re having a panic attack is “calm down, breathe” because you just won’t. You need to let the attack just happen. They eventually go away. I remember the paramedics asking me “what is it that you are afraid of?” I said to them “I’m afraid I’m going to stop breathing.” They assured me that I wouldn’t but I just couldn’t stop panicking. Mind you it was my first panic attack ever. That’s when my anxiety kicked in. Full blown. Thankfully, a year and a half year later, I’m doing so much better. Almost back to normal.
@@Sirie7206 so awesome to hear you’re doing well! I’m still pushing through my journey and today was the first time I felt peace and joy while playing with my son outside. I catch my self not breathing deeply and then sometimes feel a heart palpitation which freaks me out and makes me think my heart is gonna stop but tonight I pushed through the end of my task and tried to calm down the best I could. Healing is a journey and I’m just happy to start finding true moments of peace.
I got emotional listening to you because it’s so relatable. Specially when the police officer told you he was going to get you help. You must have felt some relief when you heard those words because I have always wanted to hear those words when I’m going through and episode.
"A&E became my safe place" rang so true. I used to do the same, I'd get there and feel better, cuz if I were to "collapse" or "die", doctors could "save me"... from nothing.
@@httxxxxx1 For how long? This is like 6 months since I stopped being anxious after I did several tests and results came out clean because I had chronic health anxiety.. But I'm still getting symptoms..
Same for a couple of two weeks I was Doing better and I ignored all my symptoms but later the time I started getting headache and I was convinced that I had brain tumour or MS after that at night I got a panic attack and the tingling sensations start again in my best two weeks whenever I wake up I had always tingly face but I've Ignored and right now I am suffering from panic Attack and I am really irritated with this symptoms Iam Only 15 year old😞😞
You have no idea how life saving this video is. I go through almost EXACTLY, like almost mirror-level identification, the same experience. Listening to you is like listening to me. Thank you so much for explaining everything so thoroughly. You comforted me, I wholeheartedly bless you 🥹🙏🏻
I've always had health anxiety, since i can remember. I recall being 6 or 7 and going to my mom, with a spot on my hand, close to tears because I was sure I had skin cancer. It's always been there. My friends, my boyfriend and people around me got used to noticing fear in my voice and reassuring me that it is nothing. This year, I lost both my granddads, 26 days apart, one to a weak heart and the other to cancer and it got to a point it had never been before. I have convinced myself my heart was failing. I had palpitations, panic attacks. I stopped exercising because the thought of making my heart race was terrifying. After that, i convinced myself I have ovarian cancer and am now struggling with the thought that I also have throat cancer. I avoid googling and had the courage to schedule my first appointment to check my ovaries. I want to get rid of these intrusive thoughts. Watching these videos and reading what everybody is sharing makes me feel much better and not so alone. I never imagined this could get to this point and am praying for everyone that goes through this. We will get better!
I just found you and I’m crying. I have hyperhydrosis and I sweat like crazy both my hands and feet and even my armpits. I can fill up a shot glass with my hand sweat alone. I’m miserable. I have ocd too. I have reached a point where I can’t google anymore and my spouse has to do it for me. I’m tired.
Hey.. this was me two weeks ago , i was at A&E 3 times in a week & my gp 3 times in the same week i was convinced i had a brain tumor or MS. I was begging them for an MRI scan and all the tests they could do.. i had all the symptoms, tingling, numbness, burning sensations all over my body , headaches, blurred vision i had 100s of them Panic attacks throughout the night.. i lost control of who i was..my 4 year old wouldnt even look at me & thats when i knew i needed to get better so i started my medication again and watching your videos and im just starting to feel like myself again.. still a long way to go but im getting there x
Just know, you can overcome this. Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience. Remind yourself that human bodies do strange things. Anxiety is a protection mechanism. Your body’s trying to tell you something. Evaluate your surroundings, what’s causing you to behave this way and remove or change that what’s causing it. Anxiety is VERY physical.
I’ve been like this lately, blurred vision, tired, out of breath. I’ve gone dr saying is it MS or brain tumour he says no. I was with a drug addict for ten years and I didn’t use drugs. But my codependency made me stay, I tried to fix him, I was in survival mode all this years. And since I asked him to leave a year ago, I’m tired, drained exhausted, now blurred vision. It’s like stress of him all those years no it’s gone it’s all hit me now, they say it’s anxiety and grief. I feel I’ve aged I’m 47. No energy, ive had hair loss.
Found your channel and thankfull for your honest on your journey, i had a panick attack 3 yrs ago and that brought on my health anxiety. The only symptom that bothers me is heart flutters and racing heart out of the blue.now i have way more good days than bad but it takes almost a full day to recover mentally from a heart episode. Ty again for your videos
I will be all OK for sometime and suddenly I start getting series of symptoms and panic about it. This would take time to settle down. This caused me fear to go out of house. Anyone else facing similar issues.
I have autoimmune disorder therefor my mind is checking if my immune system is attacking something else in my body. That's how I got my severe health anxiety. Also I never had eyelid twiching until I found here on the channel that something like that exists so it started to happen for me out of nowhere. Our body and mind is so powerfull.
I have extreme health anxiety and just got out of the hospital I don't even know how many times I've been there and they tell me I'm healthy .This has given me hope!! I have been struggling so much lately!!
Going on a full 2 months soon of not googling things and just accepting the feelings in my body as they come. It’s been a crazy couple months going from living in a constant state of internal panic to having sometimes a straight week without any worries. Most of my anxiety was cardio related and that is basically gone now, all that’s left that bothers me at all is the occasional shortness of breath that the anxiety causes. So glad I found this channel and can say I’m almost completely better! There’s hope guys and gals
I'm SO glad I've found you tonight Cherelle as I'm not in a good way with my health anxiety at the moment. Thank you for your content and being so real! You are amazing and are saving lives!! ❤
I really appreciate this video and your openness. I've gone through and I'm still going through everything you've stated here. I can especially relate to what you said about taking baths for hours while googling symptoms and diseases while trying to "relax". Also, became a shell of myself. I've lost all my friends since symptoms began years ago due to the obsession and, unfortunately, I still believe I have exactly what you thought you had.
I found your channel accidentally through a different subject (one of your videos from over 5 years ago), but I clicked on your channel and watched this video. I didn't know health anxiety was something you could get better from. I have always just said "I have health anxiety." The same way you might say "I have a head." I thought it was for life. Thank you for sharing this. Although I can't imagine a world where I don't have health anxiety, it's inspirational to hear that for some people that has been the case. Thank you
Hey Cherelle, all your videos literally help me go through the most difficult times for the past two weeks. I thank the internet that I could find people with similar experiences across the sea. I got an annual physical check-up and then CASUALLY found a lung nodule that CASUALLY turns out to be earliest lung cancer - then I completely go nuts, I suffer from both post-surgery pain and constant HA symptoms and found it so hard to convince myself all my symptoms are just anxiety. I never smoke, drink, health diet, barely go to doctors now I become familiar with all ERs in my neighborhood. Now I am using your method, track my symptoms and wait for 2 weeks - best advice ever. I still suffer from time to time but now your videos really help me to get better
That was 17 minutes of encouragement and hope. I'm currently switching meds and it triggered all the old mess with health anxiety. I also had the nervous breakdown and it changed my life for the better! Doesn't mean there won't be hard times like I am currently. I just need encouragement to get back to the way I was! Thank you.
I have been having "symptoms" for 2 weeks and the kicker is that I also actually have MS, imagine that I went through a whole round of corticosteroids likely due a spontaneous bout of health anxiety, instead of an actual relapse, and it all just started with my heart beating really fast one nigght and me googling symptoms. This video is such a great reassurance, I haven't been able to sleep that much for the past 2 weeks because I keep waking up either randomly or in a panic tachycardia, even took some medicine for it in order to calm it down, but I am done, the next time I will ride it out and not give in, this is no way of living and I am stronger than this BS.
Thanks so much for this and all your other videos - you are literally a life saver for so many of us dealing with similar issues. Simply the best channel for any one with health anxiety. Totally relate to this video. One of the hardest ones for me recently has been around side effects to medication. I read the leaflet because it feels like the ‘responsible thing to do’. I also research the drug, in huge detail, medical research papers, reviews. Google overload. I tell myself this is all just me being ‘responsible’ for my own well being. But what I’m actually doing is filling myself with stories and fear about the worst possible side effects, worst possible case scenarios and ‘wham’ just like that i start experiencing the very symptoms I’m scared of. Cue more endless googling and convincing myself that I now have xyz caused by the meds. At a logical level I’ll realise that I’ve done this to myself (which adds to the problem as the self-anger it makes anxiety worse) but the symptoms are so real that logic flies out of the window. Interestingly doctors and A&E used to be my safe place but these days I don’t feel safe - the nhs is in pieces, drs don’t have time to get to know or spend time with patients and they don’t really understand health anxiety. Also for me, them taking the symptoms as potentially real which they obviously have to do just triggers me even more. I’m currently experiencing horrible neurological symptoms consistent with neuropathy which was a rare side effect of antibiotics I took but having honed in on that issue I developed the symptoms of it. Trouble is because there is a ‘real’ thing to pin the symptoms on I can’t totally ignore that maybe I was just unlucky even though I’m pretty sure this is the nocebo effect in action! The mind really can do the most unbelievable things to the body and I hope this is my lesson learned. No more googling or obsessing - it’s the worse thing you can do.
First of all, thank you for making these videos. The past 4 months have been crazy. I thought I had MS thanks to twitching, cramps, tingling, eye floaters etc. Finally found a doctor who was willing to get an MRI done. I don’t have MS. 3 days after I started to notice my symptoms were disappearing. I got into a fight with my husband and the twitching and headache came back and now my freaking brain can’t stop thinking about ALS. Health anxiety is horrible. Your videos help me so much! Thank you
Hi! When you look back, it really does remind you what a dark place it was to be in this constant cycle of anxiety. I experienced extreme fear, panic attacks, scary physical sensations, I thought I had become schizophrenic, really bad intrusive thoughts, insomnia for almost a year. I was TERRIFIED to even say the word “anxiety.” Because I didn’t want to admit my mental health had been compromised. I was so afraid of losing control. All symptoms I had never had before in my life. All developed overnight because of one panic attack (I thought I was going to stop breathing and was gonna die). My problem was that I didn’t know what was going on with me which made matters worse! Until I discovered it was anxiety, I accepted more and more that it was just anxiety. This helped me tremendously in overcoming my symptoms. It was a very dark time for me. Now whenever I feel a sensation, because I still do, I just say “it’s just anxiety” or “whatever, it is what it is” I no longer pay much mind to the anxiety.
Wow! Thanks for the testimony! I’m going through it all right now. 🙏🏽 The twitches stopped bothering me so now I have crepitus (clicking all over the body) but no weakness. And I’m convinced there’s something very wrong with me since I’ve been looking at my knees non stop and sometimes I see as if there were muscle loss around them. Ps. I have no idea how you could deal with all of this while having two kids. 😳 You’re a superhero!
your videos help me a lot, currently going through my 10th thing this year, I currently think I have bone cancer on my spine. It's horrible because I have had health anxiety for so long now, and it just wont stop. I dont enjoy anything anymore and I feel like I just can't enjoy myself anymore. Im always under stress and everything but dont really want to ask for help
Im struggling so bad right now. I have this symptom and it is causing severe anxiety and panic attacks, my body and ears are trembling and i have an intense flickering in my ear it is deiving me mad. Been to the doctors 3 times there is nothing in my ear. What the hell is it. Im convinced im dying
I’m writing this comment in the hope that one day I’ll be able to come back and say ‘I made it. I’m fine and recovered’, but right now that feels like the most unrealistic dream ever. I feel completely plagued by health anxiety (or at least I dream for these symptoms to be caused by anxiety. I really am convinced there is something wrong with me) at the moment, living my version of hell. Neurological symptoms, the worst being nerve pain/tingling/shooting nerve pain all over, is sending me over the edge. I’m scared, really scared. I don’t know what to do but I know I have to take it one day at a time. Sending love to everyone else experiencing this❤️ Cherelle, you’re a life saver ❤️
24th march i suddenly started to feel like something was crawing on one side of my head i freaked out and started to google and it said yoou might get stroke brain tumor and everything which scared the shit out of me...i told my mother abt it (shes a nurse) she told me "its fine" but my i was not convinced...few days ago i saw this video and i think i have health anxiety...idk but 3 days ago i slipped and fell and hurt my head lol and now i am scared again...i want to do MRI but i am scared what if i get smtg...i hope we all live a good and healthy life i am really scared
I’ve really struggled for quite a few years with this. It started about 8years ago when I had an abnormal Pap smear and after they removed the cells I didn’t go back for another smear test for about 6 years. I started getting intense pain and odd bleeding but didn’t put it down to my copper coil. Then my youngest daughter started getting nocturnal seizures during lockdown so I thought she was dying. I left all my symptoms and didn’t go to the doctor for quite a few month and in the meantime I thought I was dying but was too scared to go get the ‘confirmation’ of that. Then my nephew died of cot death, and that night my daughter had a really bad seizure. I basically had a nervous break down, couldn’t stand and walk, couldn’t focus on anything other then laying in bed and listening to CZcams videos of rain etc my heart rate was intense I was so physically ill. So eventually I did go to the doctor and had my coil out and Pap smear came back normal and bleeding stopped. My daughter still get me seizures but she’s had all the tests and although it’s epilepsy, she hasn’t got a tumour so I’ve managed that. Then my middle daughter had a spot at the back of her eye flagged up at the opticians and the 10 week wait for investigation I was again a nervous wreck, the relief when they told me it was normal I broke down in tears in front of the doctor. Now I’m sat up convinced my dog has cancer because she has a stomach ache. I can’t bare this horrible dark feeling in my gut all the time. I’m constantly scared and I don’t know what to do. I too lost weight and had hair loss and yes the mouth ulcers! I haven’t watched your videos for a couple of years but came back to them because I’m struggling so thankyou for posting.
You just have to accept the things you can’t control and do something about the things you can. This is the only way you’ll overcome this. I used to be the same way. My mom had lost significant amount of weight back in 2016, numerous tests, and waiting for results was debilitating because we just were waiting to hear “you have cancer.” But by the grace of God, all tests came back normal. Overtime she got better but we never knew what happened to her until severe anxiety hit me and I went through the same. My mom however, couldn’t even tell she was over stressed and anxiety had plagued her. Since I’ve overcome my anxiety, I’ve let go of things I can’t control. Even my own autoimmune disease. I’m trying my best to stay healthy but I can’t keep Googling every symptom I experience because I’ve learned that the human body does strange things. I stopped jumping to conclusions.
I have been suffering wiv health anxiety for two months now i been to a e 10 times now ive got it in my head my hearts going to stop so i lay in bed all day and got depression now cant cope wiv it 😢😢😢😢
This year i had series of health issues, nothing serious, but enough to trigger health anxiety. First when it was cold i got constant nose blockage, at one point i lost smell and with that sense of taste, then i got sore throat which lasted about 2 weeks, i felt like acid was also going up from stomach because taste in mouth. After that i got stomach pain and changed bowel habits- where my food was also not digested fully. All those things resolved on their own, and currently im dealing with neck stiffness at left side and pain at left scapula area, it happened after i rode a bicycle for about 3 hours (last time i rode that long was last fall), and next day in morning i woke up with upper back pain, probably because i rode uphill so i needed to use upper back and shoulder too to stomp pedals. And now for about 6 days i deal with neck stiffness and upper back pain, first it was on right side but now it moved to left side and right side resolved, problem is i work where i need to carry multiple 25kg bags a day, and i mostly carry them on left shoulder where i now have problems because i cant recover so its probably due to not resting. All in all, its like i got one health issue after another, i cant get break, and it all takes toll on overthinking too.
I spent one New Year's Eve googling colon cancer. The following year, I was late to the to the New Year's Eve day party so much that some of my friends were just about to leave when I arrived because I had spent over an hour looking at a mole on my back. HA sucks, but it gets better.
Love your videos they are helping me so much, I have been nearly a week now without googling symptoms for answers. Just a question for you, did you worry obsessively about the health of your children or just yourself? I can remember when my children were small I used to constantly worry every time one of them just had a cough or a tummy upset that it was something sinister and always had them at the doctors.
@@simplygood29so sorry to hear that, my kids are adults now but I did go through it when they were small, to be honest though I still worry about their health even though they are both in their 40s. I do hope things get better for you, I know just what you are feeling ❤
Hi thanks again i cant except that my symptoms are anxitey i really hope it is but dr can not find anything apart from long covid . I have real bad body aches pings all over twiching visson problems imsomia and fatigue could all this be anxiety im desperate for a answer to. 😢
Yes. Mine come and go but when they come they are all day everyday for months. Then I’ll feel good for a few days or weeks and then I’ll go right back to it for weeks. Back and forth. It used to be everyday for years so I’m thankful I at least get a break here and there these days. I’m on year 24 of this. You are not alone. But you made it through every symptom 1000 times and you will make it through the next. We always do.
I have a gerd and psychosomatic anxiety, every day I experience 1001 sensations in my body. My mind always thinks negatively, I'm afraid I have a severe illness. Every day I feel anxious and frightened, because of a feeling of suffocation, like about to fall while walking, sore throat nose and ears up to the head, twitch, unfocused, blurry eyes, misty eyes, stuffy nose but not runny nose. Every long breath of my front neck and under the chin aches like an interesting vein, but when swallowing my throat it doesn't hurt, when looking around like it's not real and I have some parts of pain in my body and I often have limp trembling in my body. I even experience tingling numbness throughout the body once in a while. I also have burps all the time, having abdominal pain like burning from the stomach to the throat. It causes me to get shortness of breath every day and my nose is clogged. I'm having trouble breathing and feeling dizzy from it. My breath is also always heavy and short, so I've always wanted to take a long breath every time. It's what makes my nose feel sore and cold to the head.
I just watched your video about having fear of allergic reaction of anything😟 exctally like what I'm dealing with right now😢 I'm really suffering big time from anxiety and panic attacks being worried all the time that somthing bad is gonna happen and I also lost weight 😢 my life is is going down the drain I'm so miserable and I feel way byond bad and worried 😢 I don't know what to do anymore😢
Hi Cheryl, I was just wondering if you could do a video on how things IT with children I have severe health anxiety with my kids and I was just wondering what you think about that
Im from India your videos are very much helpful please make a video on what is actually swollen lymph node and what actually people assume is it visible in mirror if its really swollen or its only feeleble when we check them one video briefly about their characteristics can help many out there thank you ra waiting for reply have a nice day a Anxiety can kill your happiness dont think too much just trust in god everything gonna be excellent you are always healthy but this Google things gonna panic your keep going never give up
Hi Cherelle i hope you see this i have heard innone of your videos about you having exercise induced svt? I wanted to ask how does it present itself ? Does it feel different than regular tach due to exercise ? Thats all i think about when I exercise I lately i get a little panicky while working out
I have anxiety and the symptoms are horrible. I made the mistake of searching on Google and a disease called dysautonomia appeared and the symptoms are similar, if not the same. I think that fear is the only thing that doesn't let me “heal” but it is very difficult to tell my mind that everything is fine, that I have already had blood tests, electrocardiograms and everything is fine. The people on Tik Tok didn't help either as they justified and reinforced the fear. I have medical relatives (a neurologist) and he tells me it's just anxiety but I don't believe him. All this appeared due to a lot of stress at university but what happens if it's not because of that...
Hi m in Pakistan.. suffering from fear of lymph nodes went to multiple doctors..no one is listening and understanding me plz charelle plz talk to me once..i,ll be really grateful.. I can't express my pain from m suffering through out the years..
Same for a couple of two weeks I was Doing better and I ignored all my symptoms but later the time I started getting headache and I was convinced that I had brain tumour or MS after that at night I got a panic attack and the tingling sensations start again in my best two weeks whenever I wake up I had always tingly face but I've Ignored and right now I am suffering from panic Attack and I am really irritated with this symptoms Iam Only 15 year old😞😞
Hi everyone, does anyone get jaw pains and chest pains? If so can anyone tell me their way of coping and how bad it’s for them. I’ve been diagnosed with health anxiety a year ago and I still can’t believe it’s anxiety, for the past 3 weeks my anxiety has been getting worse, loads of jaw pain and chest pain, i have seen doctors and I’m completely healthy, but I still can’t believe that what I’m feeling it’s anxiety, I’m going on medication soon, hopefully it works for me. I think if you have severe health anxiety, medication and therapy is the best combination.
This is almost my life for about 2 or 3 years but after i learned that symptoms caused just by anxiety everything shifted the moment that indivdual understands that these symptoms are normal and the cause is anxiety that person can confront symptoms actualy by doing nothing and let the things be there and do his work live his life and eventually symptoms fade away i hope everyone with this problem soon will recover and back to normal life
Do you have a single payer healthcare system where you are? Cause here in the states it is EXPENSIVE to get checked out and unfortunately as scared as we get we won’t get checked out and get the reassurance that we think we need and then we suffer even more cause we can’t get the confirmation that we are ok. I mean we go a few times but then you literally just can’t afford to go and you just suffer. This is true of all sickness here. Unless you were dying, you gotta just figure it out yourself.
UK has( nhs) which is free but we are taxed heavy and the system is in debt and lack of nurses and doctors ..I waited 18months just to see an (ent) appointment.
unfortunately, this is the same in the Netherlands 😢 In other countries in Europe (Italy, Hungary), government hospitals are in a horrible state, so people who can afford usually go to private checkups but stull it's just terribly expensive. Private healthcare in NL doesn't really exist, I've found clinics where they do checkups, but it's just too expensive...so the only choice is waiting 😢 and waiting is not fun if you are anxious about your health 😅
Have you been on a benzo? Or an ssri? Your stories and symptoms look a lot like post withdrawals from a benzo …( or an ssri) . I am like in that state right now, many people who had been on benzo or ssri’’ have similar physical and mental … all of them do mri scans, suïcidale, fear of Ms etc, inner tremors, all those symptoms you had … some have it really bad. I am so happy for you and for your family you are doing so well. 🙏🏻💕
My anxiety and the symptoms that accompanied it started years before I ever started an SSRI. I tried an SSRI for a little while in 2018 but it didn’t help me too much so I didn’t stay on it long. I imagine there are some post withdrawal symptoms but there are plenty of people that have anxiety simply because being human is anxiety inducing! ❤
I can't tell you how much these videos help me. I don't Google now I watch your videos when I get the urge and it pulls me out of that mind set so thank you. Keep these videos going 🥹 so many people rely on these 🤍 thank you Cherelle.
What you just called 17 mins of ramble is actually 17 mins of hope for someone who has been battling health anxiety for more than 17 years. I am so grateful to you for sharing your experience, for the courage you show to come out and say yes I have suffered. You are an inspiration and hope for me that things can and will get better. Thank you and plz keep on posting such videos . They may be ramble for you but for someone else it can be a life saving conversation.
Oh very much so! As someone who constantly is fighting with health anxiety. It's hard for me sometimes to just exist and I feel extremely lonely having to go through this all by myself so whenever I watch a video like this, it helps me so much. It brings me a lot of comfort and warmth. Honestly anything helps. Any videos, comments, little chats I can have with people helps. So this video is very much a life saving video in the sense of it being here for me when nobody else really has been. So this is more than just a video, it's a glimpse of hope. It's so much more than just a video.❤️
It angers me about the staff at the doctor's office getting frustrated and impatient. The truth is: if you haven't suffered from health anxiety you don't understand but if you have... then you understand how devastating it can be. I see that with my family... they try to be supportive but they don't understand, and I'm glad they don't. I wouldn't wish health anxiety on anyone.
Oh I very much relate. This is why I only chat with people online who are going through this because they know exactly what it's like To feel this way but most people wouldn't have a single clue how debilitating this anxiety is and how it can make you feel. I've had days when I literally thought I would go crazy because of how bad this anxiety got. It's crazy looking back now because I remember there was a day when I would read about health anxiety and at the time I didn't know what it was and I was really ignorant about it as well. I remember thinking " oh this cannot be a real thing"💀 and then surely enough few years later I now know what health anxiety is and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, because it can really make you believe that you're going crazy. It's this constant paranoia that you're feeling and every little body sensations feels like a d**** sentence. Every minute of everyday you're just trying to survive and feel better. If you ever need someone to talk to my instagram is mrchad519
It's the isolation from the world that's the worse. I've suffered from health anxiety ever since I watched my brother from cancer in 1994. I've had every symptom there is over the 30 year period. I'm 53 now and I'm still suffering badly. It's destroyed my marriage and I've missed out on spending quality time with my kids. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
It's so hard to be chill about your health when doctors always find new things during checkups. Things I never even was scared about before, like breast cancer. Because my doctor found tumors in mine (thankfully not cancerous, but it's still a freaky news to get, and I need to see a specialist every three month).
I try to accept the unknown and I try not to worry so much, but it is hard.
I had a panic attack a couple weeks ago, I was convinced that I was dying right then and there. Called 911 in a parking lot and they check everything, told me I looked great and healthy but needed to take some deep breaths and calm down. As a father and husband it’s so hard to feel like I can even seek help but it’s so important to find what works best thats healthy. This channel has tons of great info and I’m so lucky to have fumbled upon it. You can heal even though it feels like it’ll never stop.
The worst thing someone can tell you when you’re having a panic attack is “calm down, breathe” because you just won’t. You need to let the attack just happen. They eventually go away. I remember the paramedics asking me “what is it that you are afraid of?” I said to them “I’m afraid I’m going to stop breathing.” They assured me that I wouldn’t but I just couldn’t stop panicking. Mind you it was my first panic attack ever. That’s when my anxiety kicked in. Full blown. Thankfully, a year and a half year later, I’m doing so much better. Almost back to normal.
@@Sirie7206 so awesome to hear you’re doing well! I’m still pushing through my journey and today was the first time I felt peace and joy while playing with my son outside. I catch my self not breathing deeply and then sometimes feel a heart palpitation which freaks me out and makes me think my heart is gonna stop but tonight I pushed through the end of my task and tried to calm down the best I could. Healing is a journey and I’m just happy to start finding true moments of peace.
I got emotional listening to you because it’s so relatable. Specially when the police officer told you he was going to get you help. You must have felt some relief when you heard those words because I have always wanted to hear those words when I’m going through and episode.
"A&E became my safe place" rang so true. I used to do the same, I'd get there and feel better, cuz if I were to "collapse" or "die", doctors could "save me"... from nothing.
Yes. Yes. Yes. 23 emergency room visits in a 2 month span. On my worst day, I went 3 times in 1 day.
@@thatgirlchina5890 I can totally see and understand that
You should be proud of yourself young lady..overcoming health anxiety is huge but then becoming a therapist is extraordinary ❤
Its really hard to cope, as i get symptoms even when not anxious anymore. Its now the symptoms that is giving me anxiety..
Same🙄
the body keeps the score..
@@httxxxxx1 For how long? This is like 6 months since I stopped being anxious after I did several tests and results came out clean because I had chronic health anxiety..
But I'm still getting symptoms..
Same for a couple of two weeks I was Doing better and I ignored all my symptoms but later the time I started getting headache and I was convinced that I had brain tumour or MS after that at night I got a panic attack and the tingling sensations start again in my best two weeks whenever I wake up I had always tingly face but I've Ignored and right now I am suffering from panic Attack and I am really irritated with this symptoms Iam Only 15 year old😞😞
Same here. Just know you are not alone. 😢
This made me actually hug my phone. Thank you
You have no idea how life saving this video is. I go through almost EXACTLY, like almost mirror-level identification, the same experience. Listening to you is like listening to me. Thank you so much for explaining everything so thoroughly. You comforted me, I wholeheartedly bless you 🥹🙏🏻
I've always had health anxiety, since i can remember. I recall being 6 or 7 and going to my mom, with a spot on my hand, close to tears because I was sure I had skin cancer. It's always been there. My friends, my boyfriend and people around me got used to noticing fear in my voice and reassuring me that it is nothing.
This year, I lost both my granddads, 26 days apart, one to a weak heart and the other to cancer and it got to a point it had never been before. I have convinced myself my heart was failing. I had palpitations, panic attacks. I stopped exercising because the thought of making my heart race was terrifying. After that, i convinced myself I have ovarian cancer and am now struggling with the thought that I also have throat cancer. I avoid googling and had the courage to schedule my first appointment to check my ovaries. I want to get rid of these intrusive thoughts.
Watching these videos and reading what everybody is sharing makes me feel much better and not so alone.
I never imagined this could get to this point and am praying for everyone that goes through this. We will get better!
I just found you and I’m crying. I have hyperhydrosis and I sweat like crazy both my hands and feet and even my armpits. I can fill up a shot glass with my hand sweat alone. I’m miserable. I have ocd too. I have reached a point where I can’t google anymore and my spouse has to do it for me. I’m tired.
Hey.. this was me two weeks ago , i was at A&E 3 times in a week & my gp 3 times in the same week i was convinced i had a brain tumor or MS. I was begging them for an MRI scan and all the tests they could do.. i had all the symptoms, tingling, numbness, burning sensations all over my body , headaches, blurred vision i had 100s of them
Panic attacks throughout the night.. i lost control of who i was..my 4 year old wouldnt even look at me & thats when i knew i needed to get better so i started my medication again and watching your videos and im just starting to feel like myself again.. still a long way to go but im getting there x
I hope you’re doing okay ❤️ sounds similar to what I’m going through and I’m completely beside myself. Sending healing your way xx
Just know, you can overcome this. Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience. Remind yourself that human bodies do strange things. Anxiety is a protection mechanism. Your body’s trying to tell you something. Evaluate your surroundings, what’s causing you to behave this way and remove or change that what’s causing it. Anxiety is VERY physical.
I’ve been like this lately, blurred vision, tired, out of breath. I’ve gone dr saying is it MS or brain tumour he says no. I was with a drug addict for ten years and I didn’t use drugs. But my codependency made me stay, I tried to fix him, I was in survival mode all this years. And since I asked him to leave a year ago, I’m tired, drained exhausted, now blurred vision. It’s like stress of him all those years no it’s gone it’s all hit me now, they say it’s anxiety and grief. I feel I’ve aged I’m 47. No energy, ive had hair loss.
Found your channel and thankfull for your honest on your journey, i had a panick attack 3 yrs ago and that brought on my health anxiety. The only symptom that bothers me is heart flutters and racing heart out of the blue.now i have way more good days than bad but it takes almost a full day to recover mentally from a heart episode. Ty again for your videos
I will be all OK for sometime and suddenly I start getting series of symptoms and panic about it. This would take time to settle down. This caused me fear to go out of house. Anyone else facing similar issues.
I have autoimmune disorder therefor my mind is checking if my immune system is attacking something else in my body. That's how I got my severe health anxiety.
Also I never had eyelid twiching until I found here on the channel that something like that exists so it started to happen for me out of nowhere.
Our body and mind is so powerfull.
I have extreme health anxiety and just got out of the hospital I don't even know how many times I've been there and they tell me I'm healthy .This has given me hope!! I have been struggling so much lately!!
Going on a full 2 months soon of not googling things and just accepting the feelings in my body as they come. It’s been a crazy couple months going from living in a constant state of internal panic to having sometimes a straight week without any worries. Most of my anxiety was cardio related and that is basically gone now, all that’s left that bothers me at all is the occasional shortness of breath that the anxiety causes. So glad I found this channel and can say I’m almost completely better! There’s hope guys and gals
Thank you for sharing your story! Really helpful, extremely relatable, and a sigh of relief. Praise the good Lord❤
YOU have helped me so much!! Thank you for posting this vid, can't wait to dig into all of the others!
Hey Cherelle, your videos have helped me so much! thank u❤
Every single thing you have said I can empathise with. You are such an inspiration
Ah well done Cherelle ! Got me teared up! Another fab video 😊
Thank you for doing your videos. you're helping so many people, and the way you talk is so real and relatable. keep up the amazing work ♥ 🙏
Hello Cherelle thank you for sharing your health anxiety journey and recovery it was really touching 🥰
Thanks Cherelle for sharing your story. It’s really inspiring for us to hear what you have overcome. Your a strong woman 💪
Always so helpful. It inspired me to start my own channel. My first video is about muscle twitching and anxiety. Thanks for all you do!
I'm SO glad I've found you tonight Cherelle as I'm not in a good way with my health anxiety at the moment. Thank you for your content and being so real! You are amazing and are saving lives!! ❤
I really appreciate this video and your openness. I've gone through and I'm still going through everything you've stated here. I can especially relate to what you said about taking baths for hours while googling symptoms and diseases while trying to "relax". Also, became a shell of myself. I've lost all my friends since symptoms began years ago due to the obsession and, unfortunately, I still believe I have exactly what you thought you had.
I found your channel accidentally through a different subject (one of your videos from over 5 years ago), but I clicked on your channel and watched this video. I didn't know health anxiety was something you could get better from. I have always just said "I have health anxiety." The same way you might say "I have a head." I thought it was for life. Thank you for sharing this. Although I can't imagine a world where I don't have health anxiety, it's inspirational to hear that for some people that has been the case. Thank you
Go you keep speaking out about your journey and sharing your knowledge with the world!
Love your videos ❤
Hey Cherelle, all your videos literally help me go through the most difficult times for the past two weeks. I thank the internet that I could find people with similar experiences across the sea. I got an annual physical check-up and then CASUALLY found a lung nodule that CASUALLY turns out to be earliest lung cancer - then I completely go nuts, I suffer from both post-surgery pain and constant HA symptoms and found it so hard to convince myself all my symptoms are just anxiety. I never smoke, drink, health diet, barely go to doctors now I become familiar with all ERs in my neighborhood. Now I am using your method, track my symptoms and wait for 2 weeks - best advice ever. I still suffer from time to time but now your videos really help me to get better
That was 17 minutes of encouragement and hope. I'm currently switching meds and it triggered all the old mess with health anxiety. I also had the nervous breakdown and it changed my life for the better! Doesn't mean there won't be hard times like I am currently. I just need encouragement to get back to the way I was! Thank you.
I have been having "symptoms" for 2 weeks and the kicker is that I also actually have MS, imagine that I went through a whole round of corticosteroids likely due a spontaneous bout of health anxiety, instead of an actual relapse, and it all just started with my heart beating really fast one nigght and me googling symptoms. This video is such a great reassurance, I haven't been able to sleep that much for the past 2 weeks because I keep waking up either randomly or in a panic tachycardia, even took some medicine for it in order to calm it down, but I am done, the next time I will ride it out and not give in, this is no way of living and I am stronger than this BS.
Thanks so much for this and all your other videos - you are literally a life saver for so many of us dealing with similar issues. Simply the best channel for any one with health anxiety. Totally relate to this video.
One of the hardest ones for me recently has been around side effects to medication. I read the leaflet because it feels like the ‘responsible thing to do’. I also research the drug, in huge detail, medical research papers, reviews. Google overload. I tell myself this is all just me being ‘responsible’ for my own well being.
But what I’m actually doing is filling myself with stories and fear about the worst possible side effects, worst possible case scenarios and ‘wham’ just like that i start experiencing the very symptoms I’m scared of. Cue more endless googling and convincing myself that I now have xyz caused by the meds.
At a logical level I’ll realise that I’ve done this to myself (which adds to the problem as the self-anger it makes anxiety worse) but the symptoms are so real that logic flies out of the window.
Interestingly doctors and A&E used to be my safe place but these days I don’t feel safe - the nhs is in pieces, drs don’t have time to get to know or spend time with patients and they don’t really understand health anxiety. Also for me, them taking the symptoms as potentially real which they obviously have to do just triggers me even more.
I’m currently experiencing horrible neurological symptoms consistent with neuropathy which was a rare side effect of antibiotics I took but having honed in on that issue I developed the symptoms of it. Trouble is because there is a ‘real’ thing to pin the symptoms on I can’t totally ignore that maybe I was just unlucky even though I’m pretty sure this is the nocebo effect in action!
The mind really can do the most unbelievable things to the body and I hope this is my lesson learned. No more googling or obsessing - it’s the worse thing you can do.
The side effects of medications is a massive trigger for me to, I now try and stop myself from reading them and it’s so hard 😅
First of all, thank you for making these videos. The past 4 months have been crazy. I thought I had MS thanks to twitching, cramps, tingling, eye floaters etc. Finally found a doctor who was willing to get an MRI done. I don’t have MS. 3 days after I started to notice my symptoms were disappearing.
I got into a fight with my husband and the twitching and headache came back and now my freaking brain can’t stop thinking about ALS. Health anxiety is horrible.
Your videos help me so much! Thank you
Hi! When you look back, it really does remind you what a dark place it was to be in this constant cycle of anxiety. I experienced extreme fear, panic attacks, scary physical sensations, I thought I had become schizophrenic, really bad intrusive thoughts, insomnia for almost a year. I was TERRIFIED to even say the word “anxiety.” Because I didn’t want to admit my mental health had been compromised. I was so afraid of losing control. All symptoms I had never had before in my life. All developed overnight because of one panic attack (I thought I was going to stop breathing and was gonna die). My problem was that I didn’t know what was going on with me which made matters worse! Until I discovered it was anxiety, I accepted more and more that it was just anxiety. This helped me tremendously in overcoming my symptoms. It was a very dark time for me. Now whenever I feel a sensation, because I still do, I just say “it’s just anxiety” or “whatever, it is what it is” I no longer pay much mind to the anxiety.
Wow! Thanks for the testimony! I’m going through it all right now. 🙏🏽 The twitches stopped bothering me so now I have crepitus (clicking all over the body) but no weakness. And I’m convinced there’s something very wrong with me since I’ve been looking at my knees non stop and sometimes I see as if there were muscle loss around them.
Ps. I have no idea how you could deal with all of this while having two kids. 😳 You’re a superhero!
your videos help me a lot, currently going through my 10th thing this year, I currently think I have bone cancer on my spine. It's horrible because I have had health anxiety for so long now, and it just wont stop. I dont enjoy anything anymore and I feel like I just can't enjoy myself anymore. Im always under stress and everything but dont really want to ask for help
I recognize soo much ❤ I also cried… what kind of help did you eventually get?
Im struggling so bad right now. I have this symptom and it is causing severe anxiety and panic attacks, my body and ears are trembling and i have an intense flickering in my ear it is deiving me mad. Been to the doctors 3 times there is nothing in my ear. What the hell is it. Im convinced im dying
I’m writing this comment in the hope that one day I’ll be able to come back and say ‘I made it. I’m fine and recovered’, but right now that feels like the most unrealistic dream ever. I feel completely plagued by health anxiety (or at least I dream for these symptoms to be caused by anxiety. I really am convinced there is something wrong with me) at the moment, living my version of hell. Neurological symptoms, the worst being nerve pain/tingling/shooting nerve pain all over, is sending me over the edge. I’m scared, really scared. I don’t know what to do but I know I have to take it one day at a time. Sending love to everyone else experiencing this❤️
Cherelle, you’re a life saver ❤️
24th march i suddenly started to feel like something was crawing on one side of my head i freaked out and started to google and it said yoou might get stroke brain tumor and everything which scared the shit out of me...i told my mother abt it (shes a nurse) she told me "its fine" but my i was not convinced...few days ago i saw this video and i think i have health anxiety...idk but 3 days ago i slipped and fell and hurt my head lol and now i am scared again...i want to do MRI but i am scared what if i get smtg...i hope we all live a good and healthy life i am really scared
Proud of you ❤
I’ve really struggled for quite a few years with this. It started about 8years ago when I had an abnormal Pap smear and after they removed the cells I didn’t go back for another smear test for about 6 years. I started getting intense pain and odd bleeding but didn’t put it down to my copper coil. Then my youngest daughter started getting nocturnal seizures during lockdown so I thought she was dying. I left all my symptoms and didn’t go to the doctor for quite a few month and in the meantime I thought I was dying but was too scared to go get the ‘confirmation’ of that.
Then my nephew died of cot death, and that night my daughter had a really bad seizure.
I basically had a nervous break down, couldn’t stand and walk, couldn’t focus on anything other then laying in bed and listening to CZcams videos of rain etc my heart rate was intense I was so physically ill. So eventually I did go to the doctor and had my coil out and Pap smear came back normal and bleeding stopped.
My daughter still get me seizures but she’s had all the tests and although it’s epilepsy, she hasn’t got a tumour so I’ve managed that.
Then my middle daughter had a spot at the back of her eye flagged up at the opticians and the 10 week wait for investigation I was again a nervous wreck, the relief when they told me it was normal I broke down in tears in front of the doctor.
Now I’m sat up convinced my dog has cancer because she has a stomach ache.
I can’t bare this horrible dark feeling in my gut all the time. I’m constantly scared and I don’t know what to do.
I too lost weight and had hair loss and yes the mouth ulcers!
I haven’t watched your videos for a couple of years but came back to them because I’m struggling so thankyou for posting.
You just have to accept the things you can’t control and do something about the things you can. This is the only way you’ll overcome this. I used to be the same way. My mom had lost significant amount of weight back in 2016, numerous tests, and waiting for results was debilitating because we just were waiting to hear “you have cancer.” But by the grace of God, all tests came back normal. Overtime she got better but we never knew what happened to her until severe anxiety hit me and I went through the same. My mom however, couldn’t even tell she was over stressed and anxiety had plagued her. Since I’ve overcome my anxiety, I’ve let go of things I can’t control. Even my own autoimmune disease. I’m trying my best to stay healthy but I can’t keep Googling every symptom I experience because I’ve learned that the human body does strange things. I stopped jumping to conclusions.
I have been suffering wiv health anxiety for two months now i been to a e 10 times now ive got it in my head my hearts going to stop so i lay in bed all day and got depression now cant cope wiv it 😢😢😢😢
This year i had series of health issues, nothing serious, but enough to trigger health anxiety. First when it was cold i got constant nose blockage, at one point i lost smell and with that sense of taste, then i got sore throat which lasted about 2 weeks, i felt like acid was also going up from stomach because taste in mouth. After that i got stomach pain and changed bowel habits- where my food was also not digested fully. All those things resolved on their own, and currently im dealing with neck stiffness at left side and pain at left scapula area, it happened after i rode a bicycle for about 3 hours (last time i rode that long was last fall), and next day in morning i woke up with upper back pain, probably because i rode uphill so i needed to use upper back and shoulder too to stomp pedals. And now for about 6 days i deal with neck stiffness and upper back pain, first it was on right side but now it moved to left side and right side resolved, problem is i work where i need to carry multiple 25kg bags a day, and i mostly carry them on left shoulder where i now have problems because i cant recover so its probably due to not resting. All in all, its like i got one health issue after another, i cant get break, and it all takes toll on overthinking too.
I spent one New Year's Eve googling colon cancer. The following year, I was late to the to the New Year's Eve day party so much that some of my friends were just about to leave when I arrived because I had spent over an hour looking at a mole on my back. HA sucks, but it gets better.
Love your videos they are helping me so much, I have been nearly a week now without googling symptoms for answers. Just a question for you, did you worry obsessively about the health of your children or just yourself? I can remember when my children were small I used to constantly worry every time one of them just had a cough or a tummy upset that it was something sinister and always had them at the doctors.
M going through mom anxiety just googling searching for yt videos 😢😢😢 it's been months of proper sleep 😴😴
@@simplygood29so sorry to hear that, my kids are adults now but I did go through it when they were small, to be honest though I still worry about their health even though they are both in their 40s. I do hope things get better for you, I know just what you are feeling ❤
Hi thanks again i cant except that my symptoms are anxitey i really hope it is but dr can not find anything apart from long covid . I have real bad body aches pings all over twiching visson problems imsomia and fatigue could all this be anxiety im desperate for a answer to. 😢
Would your symptoms last 24/7 and last foe weeks or months? Then they would go away and return. Over 30 yrs. for me. 😢
Yes. Mine come and go but when they come they are all day everyday for months. Then I’ll feel good for a few days or weeks and then I’ll go right back to it for weeks. Back and forth. It used to be everyday for years so I’m thankful I at least get a break here and there these days. I’m on year 24 of this. You are not alone. But you made it through every symptom 1000 times and you will make it through the next. We always do.
I have a gerd and psychosomatic anxiety, every day I experience 1001 sensations in my body. My mind always thinks negatively, I'm afraid I have a severe illness. Every day I feel anxious and frightened, because of a feeling of suffocation, like about to fall while walking, sore throat nose and ears up to the head, twitch, unfocused, blurry eyes, misty eyes, stuffy nose but not runny nose. Every long breath of my front neck and under the chin aches like an interesting vein, but when swallowing my throat it doesn't hurt, when looking around like it's not real and I have some parts of pain in my body and I often have limp trembling in my body. I even experience tingling numbness throughout the body once in a while. I also have burps all the time, having abdominal pain like burning from the stomach to the throat. It causes me to get shortness of breath every day and my nose is clogged. I'm having trouble breathing and feeling dizzy from it. My breath is also always heavy and short, so I've always wanted to take a long breath every time. It's what makes my nose feel sore and cold to the head.
Im worried if have contracted acanthamoeba keratitis
I just watched your video about having fear of allergic reaction of anything😟 exctally like what I'm dealing with right now😢 I'm really suffering big time from anxiety and panic attacks being worried all the time that somthing bad is gonna happen and I also lost weight 😢 my life is is going down the drain I'm so miserable and I feel way byond bad and worried 😢 I don't know what to do anymore😢
Hi Cheryl, I was just wondering if you could do a video on how things IT with children I have severe health anxiety with my kids and I was just wondering what you think about that
Im from

Anxiety can kill your happiness dont think too much just trust in god everything gonna be excellent you are always healthy but this Google things gonna panic your keep going never give up
Hi Cherelle i hope you see this i have heard innone of your videos about you having exercise induced svt? I wanted to ask how does it present itself ? Does it feel different than regular tach due to exercise ? Thats all i think about when I exercise I lately i get a little panicky while working out
I have anxiety and the symptoms are horrible. I made the mistake of searching on Google and a disease called dysautonomia appeared and the symptoms are similar, if not the same. I think that fear is the only thing that doesn't let me “heal” but it is very difficult to tell my mind that everything is fine, that I have already had blood tests, electrocardiograms and everything is fine.
The people on Tik Tok didn't help either as they justified and reinforced the fear. I have medical relatives (a neurologist) and he tells me it's just anxiety but I don't believe him. All this appeared due to a lot of stress at university but what happens if it's not because of that...
Hello maam i am 24 years old , suffering from heath anxiety.

Thank you for sharing your story. How did the officer know it was you?
My ex husband gave a description x
Hi everyone, does anyone get jaw pains and chest pains? If so can anyone tell me their way of coping and how bad it’s for them.
I’ve been diagnosed with health anxiety a year ago and I still can’t believe it’s anxiety, for the past 3 weeks my anxiety has been getting worse, loads of jaw pain and chest pain, i have seen doctors and I’m completely healthy, but I still can’t believe that what I’m feeling it’s anxiety, I’m going on medication soon, hopefully it works for me. I think if you have severe health anxiety, medication and therapy is the best combination.
Also the links in the description are not working so i cannot book anything.
This is almost my life for about 2 or 3 years but after i learned that symptoms caused just by anxiety everything shifted the moment that indivdual understands that these symptoms are normal and the cause is anxiety that person can confront symptoms actualy by doing nothing and let the things be there and do his work live his life and eventually symptoms fade away i hope everyone with this problem soon will recover and back to normal life
did you suffer from high blood pressure during your health anxiety journey? or during panic and anxiety attacks?
Can you recover from this? I’ve had on/off my whole life. Reached fever pitch this year.
I’m fully recovered ❤
@@cherellethinksI booked an appointment with you but can’t find the date & time.

I have health anxiety but also have Long Covid... Can you help?
hi do you get skiiped beat daily and how often ?
Are you providing therapy online?
This is me right now
Can't handle crowds my family don't get it. No wonder substance abuse was part of my life...😞
Do you have a single payer healthcare system where you are? Cause here in the states it is EXPENSIVE to get checked out and unfortunately as scared as we get we won’t get checked out and get the reassurance that we think we need and then we suffer even more cause we can’t get the confirmation that we are ok. I mean we go a few times but then you literally just can’t afford to go and you just suffer. This is true of all sickness here. Unless you were dying, you gotta just figure it out yourself.
UK has( nhs) which is free but we are taxed heavy and the system is in debt and lack of nurses and doctors ..I waited 18months just to see an (ent) appointment.
unfortunately, this is the same in the Netherlands 😢 In other countries in Europe (Italy, Hungary), government hospitals are in a horrible state, so people who can afford usually go to private checkups but stull it's just terribly expensive. Private healthcare in NL doesn't really exist, I've found clinics where they do checkups, but it's just too expensive...so the only choice is waiting 😢 and waiting is not fun if you are anxious about your health 😅
@@user-su7hk3si2fI’m sorry to hear that
Is tingling sensation is going 24/7 hours in a day? Anyone please reply me
I am very confused 😕
Honestly, I've had a tingling sensation for a while, and it's very uncomfortable.
i kind off feel pressure not tingling sensation idk whats wrong with my body....i just hope its nothing serious.
Did u use meds
I would like to know if you used meds x
Simple question i have for all therapists. Do you know who you truly are?
Have you been on a benzo? Or an ssri?
Your stories and symptoms look a lot like post withdrawals from a benzo …( or an ssri) . I am like in that state right now, many people who had been on benzo or ssri’’ have similar physical and mental … all of them do mri scans, suïcidale, fear of Ms etc, inner tremors, all those symptoms you had … some have it really bad. I am so happy for you and for your family you are doing so well. 🙏🏻💕
My anxiety and the symptoms that accompanied it started years before I ever started an SSRI. I tried an SSRI for a little while in 2018 but it didn’t help me too much so I didn’t stay on it long. I imagine there are some post withdrawal symptoms but there are plenty of people that have anxiety simply because being human is anxiety inducing! ❤
