Health anxiety ruined my life.
I’ve had it for 17 years (I’m 30 now).
It’s miserable and debilitating, I’ve personally never met any one with it to the extent I do.
I’ve tried everything from therapy, psychiatrist, tablets - dozens of things and I cannot be fixed.
It can get so intense that I think about it every minute of the day - it’s also made me suicidal.
I had a fear of rectal cancer that got so bad, I had a flexible sigmoidoscopy which came back fine (a month ago) so I’m currently in a honeymoon period but know the next thing is just waiting for it’s turn
I was on strong ADs but I really want a baby so I have come off of them. The desire for a baby (number 2) came after my flex sigmoidscopy. Because I know when I’m in the HA loop I won’t be capable of ttc.
don’t know why I put all this here. I usually post on nomorepanic but fancied a change lol
