Kyraaaa! You sitting on your bed talking about the side effects and worrying is totally me when I’m having an episode of health anxiety. Please don’t read anything online, our brains are wired so weirdly that us alone just thinking about the negative stuff that come happen (especially taking meds in a foreign country) can make our brains think we’re in danger, counselling has really helped me stop those thoughts, because girl! Anxiety and stress can do so much bad to our bodies over time. I take magnesium glycinate at night and wow it honestly helps so much!! Health anxiety isn’t spoke about enough and it can ruin your life if not dealt with early enough so please take care! I love your videos I have no interest in travelling myself but I adore watching these and your TTs, I think you’re absolutely stunning and you have such a chill vibe about you 💕
You couldn’t have said it better. With the part where you say “our brains are wired weirdly” I have to agree, especially with health anxiety. I find that when I’m overly worried about my health any small symptom sets me off panicking and I think of the worst possible scenario, and then when you think about it that much you do start to get physical symptoms which do actually make you physically sick it’s scary and it’s exhausting. Along with that comes the panic attacks and constantly having a racing heart and chest pains from the stress. The best thing to do for me is to try not to think about it but that’s easier said than done. Hope you’re all ok and know you’re not alone ❤
I have health anxiety too and I relate so much to the feeling like your throat is closing up. It’s really scary because it does actually feel like it’s happening!
