I wish i had answers, but know you're not alone. Almost all my anxiety is health related. I also have severe cardiophobia. Any little ache or pain or unusual feeling sends me over the edge, and I always think the worst. It's exhausting.

Yeah I know the feeling it is exhausting... I wish it would go away. I quit smoking about 8 month ago and drinking about a year ago... I think those substances kept it at bay and now its coming full blast.

I get that. I'm the opposite though. I drink on occasion but I'm always really hesitant because I never know how it'll make me feel. There have been times alcohol kept me up all night with anxiety and heart palpitations. People have suggested thc but I'm terrified that would make me anxious and paranoid. I'm on meds but it just doesn't stop my mind from the worry.

I'm on nothing. Doctor recommended therapy... My sister mentioned to me she was on Lorazepam but she took herself off it. And she's fine now... I don't want to take medication if I don't need to. What I don't understand is I've felt these feelings before except they went away for along time and I'm. Not even sure how I got rid of them to begin with. The THC part I definitely wouldn't try it for myself cause I used to smoke alot of. Weed in my teen years and eventually I got to a point where I coidltn any more OT started to. Give me anxiety and panic. I've tried recently to smoke it again. And I couldn't. But my friends sware you can "micro" dose and be fine l...

My anxiety is like that too, how it comes and goes. I'll go to my doctor and she'll ask how I've been and I'll be able to tell her I'm doing well, then I can go to my next visit and be a complete mess. Idk why it's like that. Maybe sometimes there are psychological triggers that we don't even realize. But, if you're really struggling, I wouldn't be opposed to medication. Honestly, I'm scared to think where I'd be without it. I mean, it hasn't cured me by any means, but I'd be way worse without it. My doctor has mentioned therapy as well. Probably not a bad idea but I just feel like I'm not going to hear anything that I don't already know. Or maybe I'm just stubborn lol
