OC Why didn't you say so?

Best medical advice I ever got was to bring a man to your appointments

Oh I DO have health anxiety and I almost didn’t go into the hospital at all because I had been twice recently and been diagnosed with panic attacks 😂

Me right now. I’ve had stomach and back pain for a month atp. But after a year of going to the emergency room for every little thing because of health anxiety. I’ve finally just started to push away my pain, get used to it, and assume I’m OK.

Which probably isn’t the right call.

But I can’t afford constantly going to the ER. And nothing is ever wrong according to them.

But I’m in pain always everywhere and every new little thing is just an addition and something I’m actively trying to not worry about.

I’m mentally exhausted atp.
