Health anxiety so bad

[K9999]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. These last few months have been hell. My anxiety has led me to numerous doctors, one trip to ER, and an.endoscopy. I'm told I have mild reflux. I feel like every day a new symptom pops up and I get obsessed with it. I recently started seeing a psychologist so I'm hoping she helps me. How do you deal with this? I'm desperate.

Hi K,
First off, welcome to the forum! You're in the right place to find help and support. In this forum you'll find that a lot of people deal with anxiety in their own way. Joining this forum and reaching out to those who understand what you might be going through is a great way to deal with the anxiety, so you're off to a great start! It really helps to know you're not alone, as well as get first-hand advice on how someone dealt with specific experiences with anxiety or panic attacks. My advice to you is to keep up with the forum. Let us know what's troubling you and maybe we can help you sort through the tangles in your mind. If you're in a real bind, try to distract yourself in moments of panic and scan yourself from head to toe and say "I'm okay" until you feel you have regained control of your breathing and thoughts. I hope some of this reassures you that you're not alone and you're going to be okay!
