Now before we dive In on the first segment I want to explain more to why I feel to write about health anxiety and the effects that it can have on people like my self that battle it everyday….
Around 2 years ago I started to become very nervous about my health and the way I looked and how certain parts of my body felt and certain body sensations I kept getting once I had googled symptoms of what I thought I had e.g my throat hurt and was sore I would diagnose throat cancer straight away and be sure that I would become seriously ill in the near future…
Now episodes could last for 1 day, 1 week , 1 month all depending on my moods and what I would be doing day to day. If I was out with friends or working or visiting my girlfriend day to day I would have very little time to think about my ‘diagnosis’ because I would be busy and having fun?. Now when the evenings come round and the T.V is on and we are all eating dinner my mind has a lot of time to drift off and worry about what could be or if any other lumps or bumps have risen on my body, I would always be checking, making under my armpits sore and around my man hood constantly looking to see if I can find anything untoward. I will always need constant reassurance from who ever I am with at the time to check if I’m okay and that I haven’t got what I am constantly thinking about at that time. Now I’m sure people wonder what makes all this come about and triggers an episode , I will be chatting in my next post about triggers and effects social media , News stations , Adverts , all have upon anxiety and the way it can make you think Irrationally and send your mind into overdrive.
Thanks for reading and be sure to stay tuned for more in the coming weeks …
