I think you are going to be fine. Our bodies are tough and are built to fight off things like that even if it did get infected. I think about when I was a kid and all the scratches and dirt I got in them. Nothing bad ever happened. I hope you feel better.

Does anybody ever have obsessive thoughts and behaviors go along with their HA? Things like checking things on about your body or looking at something over and over. If you do does it carry over to the rest of your life? I find that I obsess over numbers and words and a whole lot of things. It's driving me crazy. Would love to hear someone else's thoughts or experiences.

Hey Maddy. I know how you feel. It's easy for us as HA sufferers to think the worse. I'm certainly guilty of it. But it doesn't do us any good. You have to try to think positive. You have to try to distract your mind. I try to watch some of my favorite movies when I am going through a bad stretch. Maybe it's something different for you but try to find something to distract you. How you feel better.

I've had all kinds of chest and side pains. So far they were all anxiety related. They suck but are harmless. They are scary though. I know how you feel.

I'm new here. I use to post on Anxiety Zone and recently found this site. I've been dealing with HA since I was 18. I'm now 43. Long time but it's been up and down. It hasn't been all bad. I hope I can help other people that are going through what I've been through.
