    please stay strong. i compleltey understand how you feel. i too suffer from severe health anxiety and was only saying to my husband lat week i am so tired of it all. i pray for the day i wake up and have a day without worry - but truth is we have to be grateful for just that - we are waking up. this is our minds doing this to us - and we need to be grateful that its not a terminal physical illness. im in no way dismissing what tou say as when im in the midst of a panic attack or worry moment i feel like giving up and letting it take over - but we are stronger than this. i dont know you but i know you can beat this!!! please dont give up. what treatment are you having at the moment

    Try seeing a therapist! It may take a few different ones before finding one you really like that helps you, but meds and such never worked for me either. The only thing that's helped me a lot is therapy and talking to a professional who is experienced with anxiety disorders.
