Re: health anxiety
Hi @outlander
It was a massive relief to be validated especially after being repeatedly told I was faking or exaggerating what I was experiencing.
When you get injured at work you should be supported not traumatized. I just hope that my case will end these bullies reign of terror.

Re: health anxiety
I don't like zumba or any other classes as they're claustrophobic & too many people @outlander I need to be out in the bush by myself with plenty of room where I can curse if I need to if my psychotic symptoms come up, I'm going hiking this weekend & will get my cardio there.

Yes I sure do, it’s my main trigger. In the last 5 months I have had kidney scans, lymph scans, blood tests and so on. Yet everyday I can’t help but google and my 2 biggest are heart attack and cancer of some form.
