Hello everyone! I just wanted to share what I consider a small success I’ve had recently with OCD/anxiety and panic disorder. So while I have panic attacks and anxiety to practically…well everything (lol) I especially have health anxiety and am a hypochondriac when it comes to my health, and it really rears its head when I go to my doctor visits. Just for background I am 24 year old (f) and have never used any medication (because anxiety makes me scared to take meds) and I have been using my current doctor since I was 13ish. She moved to a new office and I’ve seen her pretty consistently every 6 weeks for about 6-9 months now. I finally built up the courage to take the buspar she had prescribed me and by the time I had my appointment I had been taking it for a month…she told me that was the first time I’ve been to her (new office) that my heart rate while resting was under 100 BPM. it was a really exciting small win for me. Anyways just wanted to share💜
