    do any of you guys suffer from brain fog?

      Yes, sometimes I have this feeling of life not being real or that I'm dreaming. Usually I have a headache when this happens, and it's the worst feeling ever. I have it during panic attacks or even when I have low anxiety levels. It's the worst.

    Hey Jassy,

    Stay off of google and stop looking up symptoms - I do this all the time and it makes it worse. Go see a doctor once, get a clean bill of health, and let your anxiety melt away. Remind yourself of happier times when you felt "normal", and hold on to that feeling.

      Dont let it get to you. If you have a Facebook account, old text messages, old pictures, or anything else, use them to remind yourself of better times and set a goal to get back.

      Set milestones too, examples:

      - "Next week, I will go out with friends"

      - "Tomorrow, I will stay off Google"

      - "Next month, I wont go to the doctor"

    I have really bad health anxiety, but like Kerry I'm the complete opposite from you. When I first started getting these symptoms I was in the ER about 2 times a week, and this went on for like 3 months. Go and get yourself checked out. I doubt that there is something going on in your body, besides the anxiety. Just get it out of the way, so you have no doubts.

    Good luck xoxo

      And yes, stay OFF of google! Lol.

      Google is definitely an anxiety poker. It will drive you nuts.

      Whenever you feel like googling symptoms, just think of something else and ignore it!

      You don't have cervical cancer jassy as you haven't mentioned anything related to it please don't worry.my reckoning is a simple chat or fibroid 😊or you could be so anxious making yourself wee through anxiety alone 😊if you keep pressing you lower tummy you will make it sore too lots of love Michelle xxx
