[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695348, member: 1550"] THANKS, GN!!!!! seems like those of us with mental illness have a greater understanding of it. Bet you and I are about the only ones here who know what health anxiety is. It was and probably still better known as being a hypochondriac. I had it so bad, along with my other anxiety, that the paramedics knew me and in the nearest ER room, the nurses would ask me about my kids...they knew me. As soon as you have a symptom of anything, you are convinced it is a fatal illness. It is a terrifying way to live. My mom transferred her hypochodriasis to me. Every time I coughed, she broke down and got hysterical. Or any of us. I was the only one though who developed health anxiety, like she had. And medications took it away. Since Paroxatene, for me no more health anxiety. Weird but I am grateful. Cb, do tell your psychiatrist. You are still young and I don't want you to suffer with this like I did..hugs! Few people find one medication that fixes all, which oddly kind of happened to me, but there is plenty of good therapy for every kind of anxiety disorder. Take advantage. [/QUOTE]
