Health Anxiety in the Time of a Pandemic

by melissa March 22, 2020
written by melissa March 22, 2020

Over the past ten days, I have written, edited, deleted, re-written, and re-edited a blog post about all the COVID-19 stress on health anxiety sufferers. But the words on the screen seem so inadequate. So, I pause today and ask YOU, my readers and subscribers.  How are you holding up?  Are your health anxieties in turbo mode, or are they not as bad as you would’ve expected?

Leave some comments below on what you’d like to see me discuss in a post.  Or, feel free to tell me that you’re being inundated with this topic elsewhere, and you really don’t want to hear anything more about it.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and do some deep breathing!

Oh my anxiety has def been high since this started. Every time I get chills or my throat feels a tingle I start worrying if I have it. Also it’s been high because my go to for helping my anxiety is going out, hanging out with friends, taking the kids to do things but now we can’t do anything of those things! So I’m doing my best to keep myself busy at home- which is challenging for me

About Me

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm a recovering hypochondriac. For nearly a decade, I thought that any little sensation in my body meant that I was dying or had some terrible disease. This blog is the story about how I became so anxious about my health, and how I eventually got better, in the hopes that it can give hope to other health anxiety sufferers!
