Health Anxiety
I have suffered with health anxiety for many years. On meds, did therapy, acupuncture and various doctors. Nothing is taking it away. How do you deal with this? Everyday I wake up with anxiety wondering what will be bothering me today. I am losing myself with all of this. I no longer enjoy things that used to bring me such joy and happiness. Can anyone give any advise to help? Thank you

You are not alone I have known several and had a small episode that I overcame. As you know anxiety about every ache pain or possibility steals your life. Time is one commodity we do not know how much we have.
I lost 2 years because I convinced myself not doing things I liked or new things and taking it easy to make sure my health was fine. in the end i missed time with my kids i missed social things and had depression that threatened to take more of my life, (my time). we do not get a do over and we need to not stress ourselves about what could happen over what we can do Now.
it is a hard thing to do but each time you feel yourself filling up on anxiety make yourself do something ... even if it feels hard and we want to put it off. I did this until I was no longer sitting on the bench of my own life.
