When You See A List Of Symptoms: …..oh Fuck Please No

SUCKS ASS!!!

So I recently discovered I have health anxiety and must I say it sucks ass. Every single sensation I have, I think I'm dying. I ask for reinsurance all the time but now even when someone tells me they don't feel a lump or that my eyes are fine I still don't feel fine. Sometimes I wish that it would just go away because am so tired , I just want one day were I can breath without thinking something horrible gonna happen. 

I think I might have a thing for his hands 😵‍💫

Me when my hypochondriac ass acts up and I have a strong urge to check my vitals

If overthinking was a super power I would be the most powerful one lol

i love how we've collectively lost our minds over t8s

Man I have to take anxiety pills just to hang out with someone 🙃

Me: I guess an advantage of my hypochondriasis is that I’m always aware of the state my body is in. So if I do find something amiss I can get treatment and raise survival rates.

Also Me: Has this always been here? Has it always been this size? Do my cramps always hurt this much? Have I always breathed this way? Is it serious enough to bother a doctor? I don’t think it is - but what if? Guess I’ll just wait until the fear becomes unbearable and I burst into tears at lunch.

the confusion when i go to the doctor for a check-up and they find nothing wrong with me despite the 38 illnesses i’ve diagnosed myself with in the last week alone

Okay sooo lately have I have been taking anti anxiety medication and I'm not gonna lie I think it's working, sometimes the negative thoughts are really hard to shut up but recently I can tell them to fuck off and they fuck off, which is awesome! But sometimes I don't know if the pain I'm feeling is anxiety or something bad but I'm pretty sure it's anxiety.

having health anxiety is the worst because you’re so worried about dying that you actually forget to live
