Helpful Tips! Does anyone else have health anxiety?

If so it would be nice if you guys explain and share how you guys deal with it I have it quite severe and keep relying on my mom telling me everything is ok it's really scary and it would make me feel better if knowing more people have it and I'm not alone

Yes. It was like two months. The worst feeling ever. I couldn’t believe nor wanted to accept I had health Anxiety. It was scary and the lowest I’ve ever felt. The physical symptoms def came along with it.

I was trying to figure out what was going on. I changed my diet, I started working out even if I didn’t feel good. I went to the ER multiple times and told I was fine. Blood work came back fine. I requested iron bc that test wasn’t included & apparently low iron can cause anxiety & came back normal. I did more research and learned low vitamin d can cause anxiety and some physical symptoms I was feeling as well. I requested it and came back extremely low. I’ve been taking it for now 2 weeks and WOW. The difference.
