VaultHunter 0 Posted April 5, 2016 Is it just me or are health ads and commercials just so much more noticeable?? Especially those c****r center ones!!! Even on my favorite shows now it seems like someone has a disease or is dying! Ugh I'm going crazy! I want to return to being the woman that didn't give a little pain a second thought! Now I notice everything! For about 3 days I've been dealing with some pain in my left arm! What am I thinking? Heart attack if course!! I'm so convinced that I will have a stroke one day and drop dead somewhere. I haven't done anything in 2 months thanks to this stupid hypochondriac!!! My parents came back from vacation and my mother looked at me and asked if I was sick and said I looked pale!!! Of course I freaked out because that's another symptom of the dreaded c-word!!!! Since then I've been in the mirror looking for changes!! I cannot handle this! I've read some of you guys have had health anxiety for years!! No offense but I don't want to be like this forever! Caring about my health is one thing but constantly freaking out about it is draining! I've tried meditation and yoga but it's kinda hard to just stop thinking about it when you still feel stuff going on in your body! How do/have you guys keep calm and take your minds off things? Thanks in advance. VH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A breath, please. 21 Posted April 5, 2016 VH, first, I think you need to go out and do something, balance out the two months you havent, therefore, you don't go stir crazy. I'm currently not working, so I got to get out of the house, or I go stir crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
