Hi 

I'm so sorry you lost your mum and confidante. Can I suggest you get an appointment to see a GP to talk to them about your anxiety. They will surely be able to get you an assurance or point you towards getting to what's causing these problems. 
im glad you wrote the chat and am glad it's made you calm. 
please go and talk to your Gp and I wish for you all the best. 

Hi, I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I'm glad you felt better after writing this. 

I have OCD that partially manifests as terrible health anxiety so I can relate to how you're feeling, especially around fears of passing out/dizziness and what is causing it. I used to often get caught in the intrusive thought spirals of "if I go to sleep I won't wake up" or that I had a brain tumour or something similar, I know how scary it can be. 

Everyone copes differently so this might not be helpful for you, but one thing I do is often visit the account honestlyholistic on Instagram and I have found it so helpful. She talks a lot about the physical effects of anxiety and has built a community around reassuring others that it feels scary but you will be okay - although checking with your GP is important if you have ongoing issues you haven't asked them about before. I specifically would recommend the posts she's made about dizziness and listing the scary symptoms of anxiety that aren't talked about enough.

I used to feel unable to leave the house because I was confused and scared about my dizziness episodes (and so many other physical symptoms!), but now I am able to manage a lot better after speaking to my GP about anxiety, following that account and going to therapy. 

Of course the anxiety doesn't go away overnight but knowing you aren't alone can do a lot of good. I'm so sorry about your mum, I hope you have people around you that you can ask for help when you're struggling. Personally I use online communities to do that, so if like me you struggle going out and making friends that might be a good place to start. 

I wish you all the best :)

Hey if you ever need to chat, send me a message. 

I too have severe health anxiety, and quite often I have convinced myself and created my own symptoms which fit a illness. 

I don't mean to do it. But happened in cycles. 

I too lost my mum at a young age from Cancer, so know exactly where you are coming from. I have a young daughter myself so make sure my health is always on top form for her. 

Hi, 

Sorry to hear your mum passed away. X

I suffer really bad with health anxiety, it can for months at a time consume my life. I can't sleep or interact with people through worry. 

I just want to say I understand how you feel, and I Tey my best to find distractions. I try headphones and music to try and drown out my thoughts x

Same here every ache pain or odd feeling I just think cancer never ever used to feel like this it all stems from not being able to get a GP,app,after Covid just spirals out of control  

It's horrible isn't it , I google and Google almost looking for the definite answer, I know fully well Google doesn't know the circumstances and just puts out an answer, then it makes me 10× worse.
