Health Anxiety/Hypochondria/feeling uneasy

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello to all. It's been a while since I posted because I've been feeling better these weeks but my health anxiety hasn't completely gone away. I had a viral cough about a month and a half ago, and threw up twice since then (sorry if TMI), now a few weeks later I've been getting allergy like symptoms (itchy throat, eyes, and a sorta runny nose) I've been getting these symptoms for a few days off and on. My anxious mind thinks that all of these symptoms are connected but logic (my young age and doctor visits) tells me otherwise. I'm also afraid to exercise and I know I'm gonna be more out of breath because I haven't exercised in a while and I have to get use to it again. Health anxiety is so much fun, isn't it?
