Yes, today that's is a very accurate heading. I suffer pretty bad with health anxiety. For those who don't now want it is its not hypochondria which is what a lot of people assume. Health anxiety is where you take an ailment or symptom that you are actually suffering and pretty much then obsess with every worst case scenario. It's not nice, you live in an almost permanent state of anxiety, checking and rechecking yourself to see if aforementioned symptom is any worse. It is exhausting and debilitating, not to mention a little bit embarrasing! Having said that, I resolutely do not deny I have it, that feels like I'm ashamed of my weakness and have to hide it. I would rather openly discuss it because then I have control of it not the other way around. Anyway, I'm going to make my neurotic self go to sleep now :D
Sweetest dreams,
Shelley X
