Health anxiety
F 30 My health anxiety has been spiralling for the last two years.
It's been absolutely debilitating and is turning chronic. Even though I try and keep my mind busy and stay logical, my brain is stuck on a loop which I spend the majority of the day thinking about. It's constant and I can't find peace. I've been prescribed mirtrazapine which worked initially but after a year I started to notice signs of the anxiety returning and now it isn't even touching the sides. I plan on contacting my GP tomorrow and asking for some tests for peace of mind , and additional help in managing this.
Are there any natural ways to manage health anxiety? I'm anxious to be put on more medication or having this for the rest of my life. It's taking over every aspect of my life , and it's now shifted from not just my health but also my children's. It feels like double the anxiety which is so much more exhausting and debilitating . I don't experience pain of any type. I get sensations in my throat and neck and my head which obviously points me to the obvious big words C and BA , which takes over my whole life and brings on headaches when I cry too much which doesn't help. I also worry that spending so much time thinking and obsessing over the subject , I might actually manifest these outcomes if they weren't already present which is sending me right now. I'm just at a loss . Are there any type of medication your GP recommended that worked for you? Or helped? Is there anything that I can do to silence this or manage it better?
