Ease up on yourself my dear. Yes, we all go through this as I do too. Believe it or not, it is not the anxiety that I am worried about killing me. It is what is causing my anxiety that I am afraid of.
For intance, I have had severe asthma since age 5 and not have COPD. When my chest starts hurting or I'm having some trouble breathing, that is what I am afraid will kill me. Now for someone with a major anxiety disorder, that can cause other problems to arise like chest pain, shakiness, confusion etc. I had alot of that before I started on my medication.
Now I have such a phobia about my health, I go into a panic attack if I have one ache.
I like those smiles at the end of your post. You must be feeling a little bit better eh?
Hugs,
Carrie
