I’ve suffered with health anxiety for a good few years, it was quite severe and I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist. I went on medication which helped so much, came off it and luckily my HA had seemingly cleared up. It’s back now though, and I’m really struggling. I am obsessively worried about having a certain illness and the worry is overwhelming and very distressing. I am afraid to see my doctor in case she confirms the worst, and even though there are times when my rational mind is telling me it’s anxiety unfortunately the anxiety itself is much more dominant. I wondered if anyone has had HA and if they found CBT any help? Any tips at all would be great.
