How would your life be different if you didn't have health anxiety?

[Fraser]

Imagine it! How would your life be different if you didn't spend so much time and energy stressing over this.

I'd probably be homeless.
Having Anxiety has helped me save money and learned about what I need and what I don't.

Some stress is a motivator for sure, but when we talk about HA, we are talking about destructive tension that focuses our thoughts and energy in the wrong place (typically speaking).

I would genuinely be happy and appreciate every second of life.

I often think about this. I think my life would be totally different. If i didn't have health anxiety or any anxiety disorder i would feel more happy and optimistic everyday. Also i would probably be more social. Anxiety robs happiness from life

If I lose it now, I would be the happiest most humble person in the world

I would plan for the future more instead of having the mindset that I won’t be here anyway, so I really don’t care about the future.

It’s like I typed this myself.

^This!! Especially your last line. So true. Anxiety and worry controls my life. I am demoralized and beyond miserable right now. No friends, no social life, nothing to look forward to, no hope at all.
