***** trigger warning!!!! Health related anxiety is featured heavily in the video. If you know this talk can affect you - please stop watching!!!!! Hugs *******
I completely understand. I’ve suffered with health anxiety since I was little. I’ve convinced myself I’ve had SO many illnesses over the years, it takes over your life and is so draining. I feel the same way about medication too. Always here for you xx
Julie Carter-Nash so so draining isn’t it! I am in a bad worried state just now but I am trying to not think about it and focus on other things. Doesn’t work does it! Hugs to you xxx
Lightning Lass Sometimes focusing on other stuff helps! I have a crazy hyper 18 month old, I’m completely exhausted and feel run in to the ground at the moment. I’m just telling myself the various symptoms I have is just my body struggling a bit and not the several possible scary things it might be 🙄😂 xx
Depression and anxiety sufferer here too. It’s awful so I totally get where your at. It’s very brave of you to open up which is something I struggle with. Sending you big Kazza cuddles. x x
Michelle I am so sorry you are suffering. It is so very brave of you to make this video. Thank you for sharing. I sincerely hope that you can start to feel better soon. My prayers and blessings are with you and your family. Stay strong. We are here for you. Hope that all your days are Happy and Blessed. Big hug❣
I feel for you, I don't have health anxiety, but I do have general anxiety and depression. It's tough to have any mental illness, I hope you are feeling a lot better soon xxx
OMG some saddo has thumbed down this video, please please don't let that bother you!! This video took a lot of courage for you to do so thank you xxxx Awww I had no idea you were suffering so much, I really feel for you it's a horrible thing to go through. I find myself dealing with it lately too, but not as strongly as for you poor thing. I think it's peri menopause that's making it worse for me lately......there always seems to be something wrong with me!! You already know about my bladder but recently I've been bleeding between periods a lot and now have to have a procedure called a hysteroscopy to check there's nothing nasty in the uterus so I sort of know where you're coming from!!! If you ever need to talk message me hun, you're so lovely I don't want to see you suffering in silence. Oh and by the way, my sister suffered with terrible anxiety and is on the medication you showed and she's a different person so maybe you could try it to see if it helps, if only for a wee while?? Take care of yourself and big hugs from me xxxx
Eirian Jones awwww Hun, if you ever need me mail me too love. Hugs and love. Yes my friend takes my meds and it saved her! I need too.... if I can manage it, I will :) xxx
Oh sweetie sending you so much love and hugs it sounds so awful to live with.... I can kind of relate because I became poorly 5 years ago now and I have chronic pain, at the time I was going through scans etc and they couldn’t find a cause and I was in bits I was terrified, I honestly thought I had something sinister and remember putting my little boy to bed and leaving his room in tears thinking I need to be around for him, eventually I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I will never forget the fear, so I honestly can relate even though it’s different, sending lots of love to you sweetheart I really hope cbt helps you 💖💖💖💖💖
I completely understand your anxiety journey. I had to stop watching as even though it’s not health anxiety for me, I do have chronic anxiety and even listening to other anxiety journeys gets me triggering. I hope you are coming out the other side of this bout, it’s such a horrible and misunderstood illness which is exhausting. Keep smiling xxx
Hi Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear that you're suffering with anxiety 💞 It's totally soul destroying 🥰 Like you, I don't want to put anything that may trigger anyone but I've been suffering with severe anxiety & depression for years now, on & off. One of the reasons I started my channel. I've been diagnosed with PTSD, I too don't take the tablets for the same reason. I cut myself off from people, I just feel people don't want to bother with someone like me so I just don't keep in touch 😔 I can't concentrate to watch videos I'm subscribed to {which is a big downer for me as I feel that I'm letting people down}. I'm waiting on CBT aswell, also other treatments. I've not been able to do any videos for a long while. The depression is difficult, especially as the chronic pain & new illnesses found make it more difficult. My bladder is supposed to be in spasm aswell but again, I don't want to take the tablets but I don't think it's that anyway. Sorry I've rambled on, you're so brave making this video {I just hide under a rock 🙈} lots of hugs & tfs 💞 🤗🤗xxxx 🌈
All kinds of everything awwww hugs hun. I feel the same. I don’t want to do anything! I struggle everyday. I think coz the kids are so young, I have no choice. Butlins and Blackpool was soooooo hard. I found it the most difficult but found some relief in the middle of it. Time away actually can help. Coming back has sent me backwards a bit, I feel it creeping back. It’s so hard. Hugs lovely xxx
@@LightningLassTCB Aw sorry to hear about your holidays. I find going away helps {once I can get out} but then it's the dread when coming back home isn't it. I know what you mean about the boys, when the twins were younger I had to push myself but they've both got their own lives - the boy lives with his partner as it's too far to travel {plus transport is terrible living rurally}. Alicia has a boyfriend & friends so I'm home alone a lot, it's awful feeling you're not needed anymore which has lead to several declines in my depression {won't say what}. You beat it before & I'm sure with all of the love & support of your friends on here & family, you'll do it again 💞}. Having been a qualified nurse, it makes me worse {I think that I must have both types cz I can relate to what you're saying but can also relate to what others talk about with generalised anxiety 🥰 Its hard when people don't understand isn't it? If I can ever help, in any way at all, please let me know. I've always got time, so please, even if it's just to have a rant, I'm more than happy to listen 😊 You said that you liked the eyeliner in Glossybox, I get 2 boxes 1 for me & 1 for my daughter. Neither of us wears liquid liner. If you'd like them I'll pop them in the post as a little RAK, that'll hopefully cheer you up a tiny bit? They'll only go to waste, so if you send me your address on IG I'll pop them in the post? Big hugs back, thank you for your lovely reply - it's nice when people understand but not nice for you going through it 🌞 Keep strong lovely & know that lots of people think the world of you 💞 You brighten so many lives with your videos 😊 Take care lovely lady, big, huge hugs back 🤗🤗 xxxx🌈
Hi Michelle I know where you’re coming from, I used to be a lot worse but I’m much better now (or so I thought) Had to have surgery for an abdominal abscess 2yrs ago and they found several Ovarian cysts. Had blood tests/ultra sounds etc and my gynaecologist is happy nothing is sinister. Had an ultrasound two months ago & the radiologist was happy nothing had changed. I’m on the train going to see my parents and I get a call from the hospital saying can I come in for an MRI asap!! Well that did it I was thinking the worst! I struggled badly all weekend.. I went to have it and saw my gynaecologist a few days after it. It wasn’t for the Ovarian cyst it was for a general check where my abscess had been! I have a blood test next week then another ultra sound and my gynaecologist appointment is in November. So far so good 🤞🏻 I thought I’d got it whipped but it came crashing back. I’m ok ish for now but my husband is suffering with his knee.. my reaction? Oh take some painkillers and you’ll be fine lol! It’s difficult but I’m back on my anxiety meds atm I know it’s hard but my rational mind is saying I’m ok 👍🏻 Take Care X 😘
My sister sent me this video as she said it reminded her so much of me and what I've been going through the last few years and wow did I empathise. Seriously, every word I thought that is me!! That is completely how I feel. I'm constantly thinking what a rubbish, selfish mum I am because I'm obsessed with whatever my health anxiety has attached itself to at that time, the symptoms are so real and so horrible, which in turn leads to low mood. I feel trapped in my own head sometimes and want to run away from my brain!! Crazy. Currently into session 4 of CBT (2nd lot and waited months!!) But it really is helping and I am alot more positive. Fab quote from my therapist - "Man is troubled, not by events, but the meaning he gives to them" - Epectetus (55 - 135ad) hoping so much you start to feel better soon and remember my new mantra "Serious illnesses DO NOT go away when you dont think about them" (repeated about 50 times a day 😂🙈) xx
Rachel Creighton awww Rachel - it’s mad to think so many of us are going through it. It feels like your the only one eh! It’s such an isolating thing :( Hugs and love to you..... thanks so much for reaching out! Xxx
Oh Michelle I completely understand. I have had anxiety and depression since having my first child (he is now 20). I fought against medication til I had my daughter 4 years later and then gave in. It does help but doesn't completely take it away. Mine is related to the house and I get anxious if things need doing. Which is always lol! I well understand that fight between the rational and irrational brain. I feel we can only just take one day at a time and some days are better than others. Much love to you - you will get through this xxx
Sarah Burton awwww Sarah thankyou so much. Ahhh yes, the fighting against medication is so real. Am glad it helped you a wee bit hun! Maybe one day I will be saying the same. I hope xxxx
Oh honey - how brave if you to sit in front of the camera like that and discuss something so personal - I don’t have health anxiety but do have GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) so I understand where you are coming from. You will get through this, there is light at the end of the tunnel I promise 💕😘💕
Kim Kitts awww your so so right. I get brave when I talk to the docs, then lose that the minute I get home. I am fighting it and one day, I may take them. My health anxiety is so hard to fight tho. I will tho. Coz I hate to waste resources. It plays on my mind daily xxx Thanks Hun and hope your ok xxx
Mental health is so draining isn’t it. I don’t have health anxiety but mine is more to do with being on my own in Public and being in situations I can’t control. Also about those close to me leaving me. It’s all from when my mum had a heart attack last October, it’s triggered me badly. Hope my comments were not harsh I didn’t mean them to be. I just find it hard expressing what I mean sometimes. Stay strong and keep fighting. It’s all we can do xx
My anxiety is different, it's going places and other things. I think it is Very hard for those who have never had it, to really understand. I believe your form of anxiety, is harder to cope with, as it's your body that your anxious about. Me, l just don't go out. I wish you well, and hope you get the break from it, that l can see you desperately want. xx ps need a chat lm always about.
Jakki and Bud awwww no :( I struggled with agoraphobia in my twenties, alongside my health anxiety, it’s horrible not wanting to go out or rather not being able to go out. Hugs and love 💖
This video could have been about me. I lost my parents in 2011 in part due to mistake diagnoses & was also miss diagnosed myself that year that lead to me ending in emergency surgery. That year was what triggered my anxiety. I get the lump in throat, head pressure & chest pains. Iv been convinced in past iv got blood clots on lung / heart disease/ bowel cancer. The list goes on, but I also have a distrust of drs. Its waring & tiring. Iv been using exercise to keep healthy & distract myself recently. I still have bad days but at min I'm in a much better place than previously.
Lisa xx yes!!! Sounds like me exactly. Bless you about losing your parents and your surgery - hugs. Am so glad to hear your having good days now!!!! Fabulous!!!! The good days are so much more appreciated after the bad. All the love to you Lisa xxx
@@LightningLassTCB Your very brave to have made this video & talked so openly. Thank you for that. I appreciate that it cant have been easy to be so honest. I recognized so much of myself in this tho. Anxiety is bloody tough. I hope you feel better soon. You will get there Xx
Aww your wee head ❤️ xx 😘 mines different mines to do with being a parent I always want to be the best and never leave the wee one and help her do as much and grow as best as possible, anyone I see that isn’t doing there job of a parent properly I just crumble, my partners ex wife doesn’t think about her children atol and is always out and doesn’t feed them properly or ignores them or neglects them so when there with us I’m a mother of 3 and do everything I can till breaking point and then when there away and we hear she isn’t there for them I crumble or if my ex partner doesn’t say or do right by my little one I get so upset and wound up and can’t function xxx so annoying what happens with our wee heads ❤️ send sooo much love to you it is so strong xx do best you can and anything atol is something ❤️ xxxxxx
I suffered bouts of depression from 16 and personally for me depression was so much easier to deal with than anxiety. I lost my mum when I was 19 and like u every symptom I get I was like great that's happening now to me. Then in 2013 I thought was having heart attack turned out was hiatus hernia. And ever since I have had anxiety. When doc said anxiety disorder I was like what difference to most people having anxiety. She told me mine is more severe in how it affects a lot of what I do. Then losing dad last november it sent me back a lot. I hate it so much I really do. And so hard trying to explain it to those who dont get it or have never had it
Julie Barbour Iv never had depression but knowing anxiety - I’d say it is tough to get through isn’t it. My anxiety started years ago, it didn’t re surface for 10 years :( bloody awful tho..... health anxiety is hard to understand but if you get it, it’s so easy to understand eh xxx
Maybe I should talk about some of what I suffer I have done a cbt therapy video in past that how I found claire. When she commented. Also did a generalised anxiety. My partner is very good with me but he has never even had a headache in his life and he is 52.so he as he says doesn't know how to understand. I get pressure in head I have to cry to get rid of it. I found reading helped me zone out and watching make up videos on here. Also colouring books. I find it hard to concentrate since being diagnosed and I have more brain fog than ever. Cant sit still and just stick to what I am doing. Like have tv on but not paying attention then will pause it go to do something else then go back to tv. I overthink all the time. I am at my worst when I'm unwell. Especially now in house on my own now dad died. I get feeling in throat like something blocking it sometimes and that's what he went to doc about and now he gone. I totally understand were you coming from. You can e mail me anytime. Juliebarbour@rocketmail.com
Julie Barbour yes if I cry it goes! When I eat it goes too.... then it’s back... oh the lump in the throat is awful too :( I have that quite a lot, I’d rather that tho than the brain pressure.... My pressure is not shifting yet :( hoping it will soon! I get guilty coz I am not a good mum when am obsessing about myself! I forget so many things because I am inside my own head. It can be so frustrating coz you can’t snap out of it eh xxx
I feel like I'm looking in a mirror watching this video it's like your talking about myself. So relatable. I always look up symptoms online and shouldn't. I have to pee constantly it started suddenly one night on school bus on way home when I as 14 I literally though I'm going to wet myself. I have been to doc she said I have over active bladder. They checked for prolapse, and all sorts. And nothing I had to pee into a jug and measure my pee. Then she said I dont drink enough. I take sertraline for my anxiety. Do you sweat also?? And I dint mean smelling just get so warm and also night sweats.
Julie Barbour yes. I suffer back with panics in my sleep. I wake up and sleep walk but in panic mode. Always had night sweats and increased sweating in the day :( it’s horror isn’t it!!!! :(
@@LightningLassTCB see I wanted to do a video as well but like i know its tmi but sometimes on a daily basis especially at work i need to change my underwear due to over heating i have spoken to doctor. They took me of fluoxetine as that can cause excess sweating. But not being on anxiety pills for a month i started having flare ups so not on sertraline. I dont know if it's the meds or cos I'm overweight. Or perimenopasal cos my mum and her sister went through it at my age. Doc has taken bloods but hard to tell hormones levels and still have periods. But I am that person who coughs and need toilet and I havent even had kids. Its embarrassing and also uncomfortable and affects me on the day to day. Went to shop there and yes it's a clammy dad but I was sweating like I had been to gym really gets to me. I could be in snow and I am still over hearing.
Yep me too..... I can been in winter and not need a jacket. Totally get that. I am the same hun, gotta change underwear regularly! Exactly the same it seems... I guess anxiety has a pattern and we are following it to the letter!!!! I got diagnosed with an over active bladder so my meds did work.... but now I am focusing on another worry, I think it’s just my mind has moved on to another worry :( xxx

The list goes on, but I also have a distrust of drs. Its waring & tiring. Iv been using exercise to keep healthy & distract myself recently. I still have bad days but at min I'm in a much better place than previously.
Lisa xx yes!!! Sounds like me exactly.
Bless you about losing your parents and your surgery - hugs.

Lisa Mack hugs hunny, that sounds so tough for you.... anxiety comes in so many different forms xxx
I suffered bouts of depression from 16 and personally for me depression was so much easier to deal with than anxiety. I lost my mum when I was 19 and like u every symptom I get I was like great that's happening now to me. Then in 2013 I thought was having heart attack turned out was hiatus hernia. And ever since I have had anxiety. When doc said anxiety disorder I was like what difference to most people having anxiety. She told me mine is more severe in how it affects a lot of what I do. Then losing dad last november it sent me back a lot. I hate it so much I really do. And so hard trying to explain it to those who dont get it or have never had it
Julie Barbour Iv never had depression but knowing anxiety - I’d say it is tough to get through isn’t it.
My anxiety started years ago, it didn’t re surface for 10 years :( bloody awful tho.....
health anxiety is hard to understand but if you get it, it’s so easy to understand eh xxx
@@LightningLassTCB yeah totally if I feel unwell or a certain way I never want to say or tell people in case they like not again ot your always unwell
Maybe I should talk about some of what I suffer I have done a cbt therapy video in past that how I found claire. When she commented. Also did a generalised anxiety. My partner is very good with me but he has never even had a headache in his life and he is 52.so he as he says doesn't know how to understand. I get pressure in head I have to cry to get rid of it. I found reading helped me zone out and watching make up videos on here. Also colouring books. I find it hard to concentrate since being diagnosed and I have more brain fog than ever. Cant sit still and just stick to what I am doing. Like have tv on but not paying attention then will pause it go to do something else then go back to tv. I overthink all the time. I am at my worst when I'm unwell. Especially now in house on my own now dad died. I get feeling in throat like something blocking it sometimes and that's what he went to doc about and now he gone. I totally understand were you coming from. You can e mail me anytime. Juliebarbour@rocketmail.com
Julie Barbour yes if I cry it goes! When I eat it goes too.... then it’s back... oh the lump in the throat is awful too :( I have that quite a lot, I’d rather that tho than the brain pressure....
My pressure is not shifting yet :( hoping it will soon!
I get guilty coz I am not a good mum when am obsessing about myself! I forget so many things because I am inside my own head. It can be so frustrating coz you can’t snap out of it eh xxx
Julie Barbour thankyou ❤️
I feel like I'm looking in a mirror watching this video it's like your talking about myself. So relatable. I always look up symptoms online and shouldn't. I have to pee constantly it started suddenly one night on school bus on way home when I as 14 I literally though I'm going to wet myself. I have been to doc she said I have over active bladder. They checked for prolapse, and all sorts. And nothing I had to pee into a jug and measure my pee. Then she said I dont drink enough. I take sertraline for my anxiety. Do you sweat also?? And I dint mean smelling just get so warm and also night sweats.
Julie Barbour yes. I suffer back with panics in my sleep. I wake up and sleep walk but in panic mode. Always had night sweats and increased sweating in the day :( it’s horror isn’t it!!!! :(
@@LightningLassTCB see I wanted to do a video as well but like i know its tmi but sometimes on a daily basis especially at work i need to change my underwear due to over heating i have spoken to doctor. They took me of fluoxetine as that can cause excess sweating. But not being on anxiety pills for a month i started having flare ups so not on sertraline. I dont know if it's the meds or cos I'm overweight. Or perimenopasal cos my mum and her sister went through it at my age. Doc has taken bloods but hard to tell hormones levels and still have periods. But I am that person who coughs and need toilet and I havent even had kids. Its embarrassing and also uncomfortable and affects me on the day to day. Went to shop there and yes it's a clammy dad but I was sweating like I had been to gym really gets to me. I could be in snow and I am still over hearing.
Yep me too..... I can been in winter and not need a jacket. Totally get that.
I am the same hun, gotta change underwear regularly! Exactly the same it seems... I guess anxiety has a pattern and we are following it to the letter!!!!
I got diagnosed with an over active bladder so my meds did work.... but now I am focusing on another worry, I think it’s just my mind has moved on to another worry :( xxx
@@LightningLassTCB yeah see and I also think I overthink that I need toilet or I pre worry I'm going to get warm so I end up being that way
They wouldn’t give you the medication if they didn’t think they would help.
Kim Kitts awwww I know, that’s what my doc and sister in law say all the time! X
🥰🥰 And citalopram for me didn’t have the side effects my meds I’m on now do.
❤
Hectic kitty ❤️
I wish there was something that I could say to make you feel better. 😘
Sandy Hafert awwww thankyou Sandy xxxx
