I have felt fine all day, however my health anxiety is sky high! Does anybody ever look in the mirror and convince themselves they look poorly? Then all the symptoms kick in?

    Yes it happens to me all the time. Feel okay one minute then the slightest ache or pain and I start looking up symptoms on the Internet making my anxiety worse than ever but cannot seem to stop!!!

    Kirsty are you on any meds?  I've been reading your posts for a few months now and you repeat the same questions.  I think if you feel this bad you need to do something about it. You are constantly asking about stomach noises, wee colour etc.  Please end this for yourself, there is always a way out.  If you are worrying this much about stuff you need to get help.  Life is too short to be stressing out about silly symptoms.

    I do this I look at my lips and realise they are whiteish and that's it I'm then going crazy with illnesses iv come up with all sorts any feeling I get that's it I jump to the worse .

    Today iv woken with yawning a lot and feeling I can't get a normal breathe now it's lead to room spin feeling like when your drunk I can't seem to snap out of it but I'm guessing it's from been worried about the breathing not a normal day goes by now 😐...They is always something or I can go half way through the day to hit a brick wall of anxiety and that's it got tiered of trying to fight horrible isn't it

      I'm the exact same steph. But I'm feeling a lot better this morning. I had a good nights sleep. I'm using the whole, I'm fine stop being a drama queen Kirsty approach! The more I stress the worst things are. I don't feel I need meds cos I know I can control it. Sometimes I just let it get the better of me. I have seen people who are on meds write on here all the time constantly so clearly they don't help that much! Don't want to fill my body with crap. I'm a strong person deep down. This is just a wierd phase I am going through x
