Feeling good? Something must be wrong!

[Grace360]

So this past little spell, I've been feeling.. pretty alright. I've started going to the gym. Getting my body right. Eating healthier, drinking water. Cardio and certain exercises. Making more health conscious choices. I'm feeling better, I'm up more. It really does help my moods.
But. With that comes my doubts.
There are changes that come with starting to work out intensely after so long. My breathing has already been terrible. Probably the anxiety again. And then starting working out again is changing how my body is. So I'm thinking too hard. That somethings wrong. That I'm breathless. That its too good to be true. That things are too.. good right now?
Little things get me. Like today I dramatically fell and a tag fell to my neck. Paper tag edge that went to my neck. I worry of internal bleeding since I've felt a pang of pain in that area twice and then it diminishing. I of course think I'm bleeding out. And my breathing.. my chest feels more open. So I'm still panicking. I worry I'll tear a muscle so hard that it'll bleed.
All of these things that just is like "why cant it just be good. "

Anxiety has a lot to do with habits, learned behavior patterns and thinking patterns, doesn’t it? Being so used to the negativity it brings with it, it’s hard to believe things are actually going well that your mind’s still being cautious and expecting the same old, ironically bringing the worries back...
I see it’s been a while since you made this thread, has anything changed since then?

Still worried. It's.. not intentional. But my biggest source of anxiety is mostly the media. Seeing stars or actors die suddenly. And for little reason. I just saw one who died in their sleep after complaining they were in pain. They had crutches. It was just a small issue and they ended up dying. Or that soccer star who was found dead with no reason yet. It all scares me.

I told somebody this on a separate forum, you can't compare yourself to what you see in the media. Don't compare yourself to what you read or see in the media.
Like I've told you before Grace, the things that are highlighted in the media are one in a million that get the hits and clicks. Whatever is in the media is fear-mongering. They do it to instill the fear in you, and make you read their story.

Working out can make your body change within days the more efficiently your workouts the better your body will respond and the quicker your body becomes at moving oxygen and blood through the body . not saying im an expert but you need less back flow and oxygen in general to be more efficiently i know how you feel about the breathing thing i feel like that alot of time too but ive come to accept it having stronger cardio and oxygen flow is part of working out I bought an oximeter to messure my bpm and oxygen level its not unusual for when ive worked out hard for my oxygen levels to get as low as 93 92 when your tired your body also drops bpm and oxygen levels if youve ever felt like you couldn't breath when your sleeping athletes with good levels can have bpm around 40 and see a drop in the 30s when asleep! That was crazy for me to think about. My oxygen levels have dropped to around 89 and bom to 45 and i messure them carefully when i feel like ive needed to i dont do alot of cardio since im on a diet and I dont wanna lose all my muscle but I dirty bulked for a long time before my health anxiety and it messed me up so I'm dieting down and notice slight dizziness and fatigue quicker. Hope this helps with some of your worry keep up the hard work !

i like this alot of people subconsciously approve of the anxiety and give it the attention and form alot of bad habits that just continue in a spiral .
